How is Artificial Intelligence transforming diabetes care? - The Diabetes Times

Since its inception as an academic discipline in 1956, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has enabled significant breakthroughs in the fields of science, healthcare, and transport. While the term'AI' may conjure up images of self-driving cars or sentient cyborgs, it's also transforming diabetes care and the way we identify, treat, and monitor disease. Here, I provide three examples of the impact that AI is having on diabetes care across the following key areas: 1) patient enablement and support, 2) data-driven approaches to disease prediction; and 3) clinician support. First up is the blossoming field of AI-driven continuous glucose monitoring devices. These devices are revolutionising the management of type-1 diabetes by providing automatic and real-time data of the rate of change and concentrations of blood glucose.
