December - 20186Diabetes care has become a costly affair today. According to a research by the American Diabetes Association, the total cost of diagnosed diabetes has risen from $245 billion in 2012 to $327 billion in 2017. This portrays a 26 percent increase over a period of five years. Since diabetes is a chronic disease, doctors need to come up with more efficient and cost-effective strategies to detect and treat diabetes. This is what the technology exactly offers to the doctors. They can leverage the latest developments in cloud, IoT, machine learning, and deep learning technologies to monitor patients from anywhere and at any time, generate real-time blood test results, and more. Since the treatment of diabetes requires lifestyle changes as well, it needs patients to be proactively engaged in the treatment. Patients can make use of mHealth apps that are available in the market which would give them a real-time guide that helps them monitor their treatment. Additionally, devices that leverage machine learning and deep learning techniques can assess the progression of the treatment and suggest changes to enhance the treatment. Furthermore, by providing patients real-time details, these devices give them the ability to understand if the treatment they are receiving is effective while also giving them more responsibility in bringing the disease under control.With healthcare, and diabetes care, in particular, transforming how care is delivered as well as the role of the patients and the provider, many companies have brought out solutions that leverage innovative technologies to provide better care. Our goal with this special edition is to highlight the best-of-breed diabetes care solution providers that leverage innovative technologies to drive customer success.
