OVERVIEW

The Application of Digital Health Technology to the Management of Type 2 Diabetes is organized by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and will be held from Sep 05 - 06, 2024 at NIH Campus (Building 31), Bethesda, Maryland, United States of America.

Description:
This workshop explores the application of currently available digital health technology to the management of type 2 diabetes, including continuous glucose monitoring, activity and sleep monitoring, mHealth applications and telemedicine. Both benefits and current barriers to the application of digital health to diabetes management will be fully explored.

Meeting Objectives:

Provide an overview of current digital health technology (DHT) available for optimizing the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Review continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived digital biomarkers and the use of CGM as a behavior modification tool
Examine current mHealth applications for monitoring activity, sleep, weight, ecological momentary assessment, and dietary intake
Explore patient and provider perspectives on the use of DHT to manage diabetes
Discuss the use of telemedicine to provide synchronous and asynchronous care in patients with diabetes
To understand current federal agency initiatives and perspectives on the application of DHT to diabetes management
Explore digital inclusivity as a pre-requisite to the widespread application of DHT to type 2 diabetes management
Examine the sustainability of DHT applications in type 2 diabetes management
