Abstract
Abstract—The diagnosis and management of Diabetes type 1
(Children diabetes) is often a complicated process. Recent mobile
health technologies are increasingly used in improving the selfmanagement
of chronic diseases such as diabetes and several
studies have proven its efficiency. Further, research has shown
that increased awareness of the disease helps the diabetics to
effectively manage their disease and consequently reduce the
complications arising due to diabetes. In this paper, an innovative
social robotic children diabetes management and educational
system for diabetic children in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is
presented. The presented system makes use of Aisoy1 v5 robot in
parallel with mobile health technologies. The aim of the system is
to improve the diabetes type 1 management with children and to
empower them with relevant knowledge about disease
management to improve their awareness about the disease in
Saudi Arabia. The proposed system presented in this paper will
be tested and evaluated extensively in a randomized controlled
trial in Saudi Arabia.
