Digital Diabetes: Reducing the Burden of Diabetes Through Earlier Diagnosis

Diabetes is a global pandemic requiring urgent attention. It currently affects approximately 1 in 10 people and causes significant disease of the eyes, kidneys, nerves and cardiovascular system if undiagnosed and untreated. Early detection of diabetes is crucial so that treatment can be initiated earlier to improve human health.

The Digital Diabetes team proposes to develop a novel digital biomarker for diabetes diagnosis. This innovative approach will use state of the art big data and artificial intelligence techniques to diagnose diabetes significantly earlier than current methods.
