World Diabetes Day, Policlinico Gemelli: "Technology increasingly protagonist of care"
The innovations in the field of diabetes care for therapeutic innovation and the management of diabetes: from
- Artificial Pancreas
- Digital Therapeutics
- Automated Insulin Delivery
to telemedicine and remote monitoring that allow greater patient autonomy in managing their own therapy.
These are the innovations that are increasingly taking hold in the field of diabetes care, offering patients the opportunity to improve their quality of life and manage their condition in a more effective and autonomous way. This was the focus of the World Diabetes Day, organized by the UOC of Endocrinology and Diabetes of the Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS, directed by Professor Francesco Giorgino, which took place on 14 November.
The event was an opportunity to take stock of the latest therapeutic innovations and the management of diabetes, from the artificial pancreas to digital therapeutics, from automated insulin delivery to telemedicine and remote monitoring that allow greater patient autonomy in managing their own therapy.
Professor Francesco Giorgino, director of the UOC of Endocrinology and Diabetes of the Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS, explains: "In recent years, there have been significant advances in the field of diabetes care. The availability of new technologies and innovative therapies has allowed us to improve the quality of life of patients and to achieve better metabolic control."
"The artificial pancreas, for example, is a device that automatically adjusts insulin delivery based on blood glucose levels. This allows patients to maintain optimal blood glucose levels without having to constantly monitor their blood sugar and adjust their insulin doses.
Digital therapeutics are another important innovation in the field of diabetes care. These are software applications that can be used to manage diabetes. They can provide patients with information on their condition, help them track their blood sugar levels, and even provide personalized advice on how to manage their diabetes.
Automated insulin delivery systems are another important innovation in the field of diabetes care. These systems use a pump to deliver insulin automatically, based on the patient's blood sugar levels. This can help patients to maintain optimal blood glucose levels without having to constantly monitor their blood sugar and adjust their insulin doses.
Telemedicine and remote monitoring are also playing an increasingly important role in the field of diabetes care. These technologies allow patients to manage their diabetes from the comfort of their own homes. They can use telemedicine to consult with their doctor, and they can use remote monitoring to track their blood sugar levels and share their data with their doctor.
"These are just some of the innovations that are increasingly taking hold in the field of diabetes care. These innovations are offering patients the opportunity to improve their quality of life and manage their condition in a more effective and autonomous way," concludes Professor Giorgino.
