The following is a review of Zarkogianni et al. 2015 review regarding the emerging technologies used for the management of Diabetes Mellitus: [1]

Introduction/Background

Due to the rise in cost of health care delivery across the United States in patients suffering from chronic diseases, there has been an increasing trend towards the prevention of such diseases since each day the number of patients which can afford a treatment for their disease constantly increases. Zarkogianni et al. 2015, explore the utilization of these new technologies as means to prevent the pitfalls of treatments in the population by using the latest sensoring technologies and CDS in order to facilitate self-managing in patients and support decision making in physicians.

Methods

The review evaluated the following technologies:

  • Sensors for physiological and lifestyle monitoring
  • Models and molecular biomarkers for predicting the onset and assessing the progress of DM (Diabetes Mellitus)
  • Modeling and control methods for regulating glucose levels

Conclusion
