Artificial Intelligence, Diabetes Mellitus, Digital Health, TechnologyAbstract
Despite constant pharmacological evolution, diabetes is a particular condition whose control is hard and laborious to achieve. Several aspects contribute to this difficulty. Chronic and acute complications of diabetes represent loss in quality of life and have a significant impact on resource consumption and global health costs.
Technological developments have contributed considerably to the paradigm shift in the reality of those who work in diabetes and those who live with the disease. The incorporation of digital technology and artificial intelligence in diabetes adds value and has already been implemented in clinical practice. This alliance leads to the existence of professionals who are more aware of the health status of people with diabetes, who become much more capable themselves and self-sufficient to manage their own condition.
