Smart insulin recommendation app (SIRA) |
The Smart Insulin Recommendation App (SIRA) is a mobile-based clinical decision support tool designed to assist nursing staff in optimizing insulin administration at bedtime. The application leverages real-time patient glucose data—captured either from point-of-care devices or manually entered readings—to generate personalized insulin dose recommendations. By integrating clinical algorithms and standardized protocols, SIRA aims to reduce variability in insulin dosing, minimize the risk of hypo- and hyperglycemia, and support timely, data-driven decision-making at the bedside.
Participants will use the app-guided insulin dosing for a period of 3 months. |
| Comparator Agent |
Standard of care paper based insulin recommendation |
The current standard of care for hospital-based insulin administration typically involves clinicians manually prescribing insulin doses once daily using paper-based charts or order sheets. These dosing decisions are usually made during morning rounds, based on the patients blood glucose trends, dietary intake, and clinical status. Once documented, the insulin orders are then transcribed and administered by nursing staff according to the written instructions. |

Brief Summary
|
This is a prospective, open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of InsulinRx, a precision insulin titration system, in managing postoperative hyperglycemia in kidney transplant patients with type 2 diabetes or new-onset hyperglycemia. The study includes 34 adult patients (17 per group) during their 4–5 day stay in the ICU. The primary endpoints are mean blood glucose levels and the percentage of readings within the target range (80–180 mg/dL), while secondary outcomes include incidence of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, glucose variability, postoperative complications, and ICU/hospital stay duration. With prior pilot data showing no hypoglycemia and 70% of glucose readings within range, the study aims to validate InsulinRx as a safe and effective tool to optimize glycemic control, reduce complications, and support clinical decision-making in a high-risk transplant population. |
