CommDoc vs Thinksulin

CommDoc is an Australian language tool developed for GP Registrars and other health professionals working in communities across the Northern Territory, to culturally enhance interactions with Aboriginal patients. The tool provides audio translations of common terms in medical consultation in different Aboriginal languages spoken in the Territory. Terms and phrases are categorised into four major sections: Common terms, History, Examination and Body parts. The tool has been developed by Northern Territory General Practice Education (NTGPE) in consultation with clinics, communities, doctors, cultural educators and interpretive services.

Thinksulin was developed by ACI in consultation with the NSW Diabetes Taskforce and its In-hospital Management of Diabetes Mellitus Working Group and informed by: an evidence check of best practice care components of inpatient insulin management brokered by the Sax Institute for the Agency for Clinical Innovation (2024); clinician and consumer consultations; and clinical expertise. Thinksulin aims to enhance the capacity and/or capability of junior medical officers and nursing staff responsible for prescribing and administering of insulin to patients in hospital with diabetes, although it can be used by any clinician responsible for the care of people in hospital with diabetes. Thinksulin is a point of care app that provides information and decision support on blood glucose level targets, hypoglycaemia management, blood glucose monitoring, basal-bolus calculations, and charting and reviewing doses.
