Vision
Shaping the Future of Digital Health and Data-Driven Diabetes Care
Innovative digital health strategies are revolutionizing healthcare, particularly in diabetes management through Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). These technologies enhance personalized nutrition, predictive medicine, and real-time decision-making. To maximize their impact, advanced data science methods must be developed, aligning with new medical insights and disease dynamics.
The Diabetes StatClin Meeting (DISC) 2025 unites experts in biostatistics, engineering, and clinical research to explore the latest advancements in diabetes and digital health. Key topics include digital clinical trials, AI-driven data analysis, causal models, and personalized prediction models—all focused on enhancing real-time decision-making in healthcare.
