Popular Diabetes Tracking Site, DiaTrak Extends Reach in French and Spanish


(PRLEAP.COM) June 27, 2007 — DiaTrak released new language features today aimed at enhancing user experience for members in Spanish- and French-speaking countries. DiaTrak executives cited the growth in enrollment from non-english speaking countries as the main driving reason for the enhancements. "DiaTrak currently serves members in 82 countries, and with the continued incidence of Diabetes we expect for our geographical footprint to continue to grow," stated company President, Brent Long. He continued by stating, "the addition of Spanish and French language support will improve our already-strong presence in countries such as India, France, Belgium, Mexico, Spain and Argentina."

In addition to the language features, the company also added performance features to assure a better user experience, including popup date selection calendars, text sizing options and a more-readable color scheme. Web design consultant Charlcy Ray of PenteSoft LLC was instrumental in the development of the enhanced look and feel of the site and has made a number of usability recommendations for future implementations.

According to Mr. Long, "DiaTrak is evolving rapidly and expects to expand its service offering to the physician in the very near future." The new features, which are currently undergoing testing, facilitate physician access to paitient records and analysis that will assist them in quickly prescribing appropriate care for their patients. It is expected that these new features will allow a physician to increase the number of patient consultations by his or her practice by 50% or more annually. These features, while directed at physicians will also benefit patients, some of whom must routinely wait as long as two months to get an appointment in many parts of the world, including the US.

While DiaTrak is primarily a site providing "anytime, anywhere access" to blood glucose and dosage information for the Diabetic community, the company also has many users who are not diabetic. Non diabetic members typically consist of people on weight management programs, including lo-carb dieters who use the site for it’s news area, weight tracking feature and a searchable version of the USDA food database that allows users to determine key data (such as carbohydrate, fat and sodium content) for over 10,000 foods. DiaTrak has also seen a spike in usage of it’s blood pressure tracking features.
