- The collaboration between Digostics and University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS) has led to groundbreaking advancements in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remote screening, allowing pregnant women in Hampshire to access the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) from home.
- Results from the initiative, known as GTT@home, have shown positive outcomes with all women successfully undergoing testing in their target week and 100% of mothers and maternity staff preferring this approach over traditional clinic-based testing.
