Exandra™: supporting individualized management
in T2DM

[Exandra^TM logo appears] [Narrator] Introducing Exandra^TM

A new online tool developed to assist health care practitioners

in creating customized treatment plans for people living with Type 2 diabetes

This clinical support tool can help inform treatment decisions by

converting complex guidelines into clear, personalized, actionable patient recommendations.

It’s simple and easy to use.

Even though Type 2 diabetes is one of the leading causes of premature cardiovascular death,

and significantly contributes to cardiovascular morbidity, less than 20% of people living

with Type 2 Diabetes and cardiovascular disease receive all of the guideline 

recommended therapies.

[Exandra^TM logo appears] Exandra helps to address these challenges by

providing 3 key benefits.

1. Supports decision-making.

[Joanne Lewis, Executive Director, HCP Education and Engagement. Diabetes Canada] [Joanne] Working together with the patient

and using the clinical practice guideline recommendations to come up with a

treatment plan that will work for the individual is really important.

It helps to have a consistent message, so that when a person talks to their pharmacist,

or their family doctor or perhaps their diabetes educator, their hearing the same message

and that same message is coming from those guidelines.

[Narrator] Exandra supports guideline implementation by offering individualized

patient-specific recommendations. This personalized approach is

essential for people living with Type 2 Diabetes.

2. Empowers patients.

Exandra presents a visual output of the patient's treatment plan

which helps them engage with their own disease management.

[Dr. Jeffrey Habert, Family Physician and Member of The Dissemination & Implementation Committee of Diabetes Canada] [Dr. Habert] I personally treat about 300 patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

When they understand the benefits of their treatment plan, their much more likely to

embrace and adhere to it.

[Narrator] 3. Increases transparency and collaboration.

Exandra provides a printable, saveable and shareable treatment plan.

It streamlines communication and provides transparency across multi-stakeholder care teams.

[Dr. Habert] If everyone on the team can see the same Diabetes Canada recommendations,

there is less chance of miscommunication between practitioners. For example

between family physician, nutritionists, diabetic educators and specialists.

I would strongly recommend Exandra to other health care practitioners treating patients with

Type 2 Diabetes. Exandra is a valuable tool to help health care practitioners optimize the

care of patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
