ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: THE FUTURE FOR DIABETES CARE
Keywords:
Artificial intelligence (AI); Diabetes; Machine learning; Management; PredictionAbstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a fast-growing field and its applications to diabetes, a global pandemic, can reform the approach to diagnosis and management of this chronic condition. Principles of machine learning have been used to build algorithms to support predictive models for the risk of developing diabetes or its consequent complications. Digital therapeutics have proven to be an established intervention for lifestyle therapy in the management of diabetes. Patients are increasingly being empowered for self-management of diabetes, and both patients and health care professionals are benefitting from clinical decision support.
