The Academy, Researcher in Molecular Medicine, and member of the Friends of Health Association d. Rabab Abdel Wahab is the importance of integrating technology with health care to treat chronic cases such as diabetes, explaining the importance of technology by knowing the sub -types of type 2 diabetes and allocating treatments to improve results, before you talk about the presence of many technological innovations that contribute to managing diabetes such as digital health tools, artificial intelligence and wearable devices.
D. Rabab Abdel Wahab said that “diabetes has always been classified into two main types, the first to appear in childhood, and the second type that is associated with obesity and develops later in life.”
She continued, “The researchers began to realize that the second type of diabetes seems more complicated than it was previously believed, and there are different physiology that lead to diabetes and more complex than just the level of glucose, with the presence of sub -types that differ based on age, weight, and physiological factors.”
According to Dr. Rabab Abdel Wahab The traditional diabetes tests are used to measure blood glucose through a simple blood analysis, but they provide limited information on basic physiological processes, while continuous and available glucose monitoring devices provide a more detailed picture by tracking blood sugar levels in actual time. “
She explained that “in an innovative step, researchers from Stanford University developed an artificial intelligence algorithm and used data from continuous glucose monitoring devices to determine the most common sub -species of the second type of diabetes.”
And Dr. Rabab Abdel -Wahab said that “the researchers compared the use of the al -Khawazimia data issued by the continuous glucose monitoring devices with the results of the traditional glucose tests that are conducted in clinics, and as a result of the identification of three main types of type 2 diabetes.”
She explained that “the first type was named with insulin resistance due to the lack of effective response of the cells to insulin, which results in the accumulation of glucose blood. Sufficiently after meals. “
According to Dr. Rabab Abdel Wahab “such a study, which was published in the” Nature Biomedical Engineering “magazine, is a big step towards careful medicine, and highlights the importance of integrating technology with health care to treat chronic conditions such as diabetes. The importance of knowing the sub -types of the second type of diabetes in help to determine the risks associated with diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidneys, or liver, and allocating treatments to improve Results.
She pointed out that “there are many technological innovations that contribute to managing diabetes such as digital health tools, artificial intelligence and wearable devices, which in turn transform the health care sector from periodic tests to the continuous data -based care management.”
She emphasized that “these tools help in providing personal recommendations for every patient about modifying treatment according to the levels of glucose in the blood that are monitored through various methods, and these tools can be used by individuals in order to take preventive measures such as changing their lifestyle by improving their diet or exercising based on early preventive warnings from diabetics. This development is also considered by the possibility of allocating treatment and improving health care, in addition to expanding access To health technology. ”
