Roche Diabetes Care Platform

Roche Diabetes Care Platform logo

Product description

The Roche Diabetes Care Platform enables healthcare professionals to quickly connect to actionable insights for a more personalized approach to diabetes care. The platform visualizes a patientโ€™s diabetes-related data to help identify patterns and trends in a patientโ€™s blood sugar. This can enable healthcare professionals to adjust a patientโ€™s therapy or recommend a lifestyle change to achieve a patientโ€™s goals. The simple reports offered within the platform can improve patient communication and deliver a more efficient patient consultation.

How we use Roche Diabetes Care Platform at VA

Through the mySugr app downloaded to the patientโ€™s mobile device, the Roche Diabetes Care Platform can receive a patientโ€™s diabetes data. The patientโ€™s Accu-Chek Guide Me meter can be paired to the mySugr app via Bluetooth and sync blood sugar results as the patient tests their blood sugar. If a patient does not have a mobile device, the patient can be set up to download their blood sugar results from their home computer using a USB cable.

No VA Data

For SaaS products that do not contain VA-owned data*, there is now an expedited process that does not require a traditional VA authority to operate (ATO). Criteria include the following:

  • User owns a device (even if VA paid for the purchase of the device) such as a CPAP or glucometer that uses a SaaS product to share patient data (non-VA data*).
  • SaaS product has no direct connections or interfaces to VA systems or network.
  • Users consent to share their data (which may include PII and PHI) directly with the SaaS provider.
  • SaaS providers must have published terms and conditions for user consent.
  • VA providers access data in a view-only mode or with limited functionality per the userโ€™s consent.

*According to Circular a130, anything that VA creates, collects, processes, maintains, disseminates, or disposes of by or for the federal government is considered federal information (VA data).

VA providers may not enter any VA information into this product; it must adhere to no VA data standards mentioned above.
