Professional internet information source used as educational resource for patients with insulin-treated diabetes in the Czech Republic: a 5-year analysis of operations
Abstract
In November 2008, a specialized Czech-language internet portal (www.diacentrum.cz) was established in the Czech Republic. Created and reviewed by experienced diabetologists and diabetes educators, the website provides comprehensive information for insulin-treated diabetes patients.
It contains 192 pages pertaining to the condition, its treatment, certified nutrition information, and video tutorials that demonstrate proper use of insulin pens and glucometers. Since its inception, the site has been registered with Google Analytics, which enables anonymous systematic monitoring of internet traffic and some characteristics of user behavior.
We utilized this feature to analyze visitor frequency, length of use, and the pages that had the most visits between 2009 and 2013.
