Collection Overview
The global rise in diabetes and other chronic conditions has placed unprecedented strain on healthcare systems, highlighting the urgent need for innovative, scalable, and patient-centered care solutions. New technologies—including digital health platforms, continuous glucose monitoring systems, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven decision support, and remote patient monitoring tools—are transforming how chronic diseases are managed, enabling more personalized, efficient, and proactive interventions.
This Methods Collection aims to showcase cutting-edge methodological approaches, implementation strategies, and evaluation frameworks for using emerging technologies in diabetes and chronic care. By bringing together interdisciplinary contributions—from clinical researchers, technologists, data scientists, and health policy experts—this collection will provide the research community with validated tools, replicable models, and critical insights to advance evidence-based care.
It will serve as a resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to optimize chronic disease management through technology, reduce care disparities, and improve patient outcomes on a larger scale.
