title: Portable technology device designed to manage childhood diabetes.
abstract: MyDOK (Diabetes Organizer Key), a type 1 diabetes management tool, was designed to be a comprehensive personal health system used to monitor, control and coordinate treatment for children with diabetes. The development of this mobile data storage device (MDSD) for organizing and sharing social, behavioral, and clinical information is an important innovation because it empowers patients and their families to be a significant stakeholder in their medical care.
