In addition, the book addresses the modelling of time series for the prediction of risk scenarios such as hyperglycaemia and hypog...
Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin production, its efficacy, or both. In recent years, the growth of the diabetes endemic has been an escalating global health concern, impacting all ages and societies. Diabetes causes a range of complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and vision loss, impacting an individual's quality of life, as well as increasing both morbidity and mortality. It is due to this that constant monitoring and lifestyle modifications are needed to ensure individuals have adequate management of the disease. Digital technology has been pivotal in revolutionizing patient care in the 21st century, directly impacting diabetes management and prevention by providing new risk assessments, diagnosis, treatment and telemedicine. The integration of health informatics in diabetes care offers seamless tracking, monitoring, and personalization of the care process, enhancing experiences for both caregivers and patients. Yet, the potential of this fast-evolving field stands largely untapped, necessitating further exploration to harness its robustness in diabetes control and prevention.
