Diabetes mellitus and artificial intelligence

Under the conference motto "Insulin control, algorithms and AI - what does this mean for practice?", Professor Dr Claudia Eberle and the working group Diabetes + Technology (AGDT) of the German Diabetes Society (Deutsche Diabetes Gesellschaft e.V.) invited participants to the 2024 Annual Conference. Professor Dr Claudia Eberle, conference president and co-organiser of the annual conference as well as an advisory board member of the AGDT, had brought the course to Fulda University of Applied Sciences. She was also responsible for the academic management of the annual conference.

In addition to AID systems, which enable automatic insulin dosing, the conference focused on apps, DiGAs and AI algorithms, one of Professor Eberle's main research topics. DiGAs are also known as apps on prescription. The tools intended as digital assistants and established under Health Minister Spahn have been available since 2020, but are still little used. Doctors and patients are currently discussing the opportunities and risks.

The course provided healthcare professionals and the industry with research evidence, practice and experience with the new digital tools, taking into account various specialist disciplines and patient groups.

Prof Dr Claudia Eberle and the AGDT are delighted with the numerous positive re-enrolments from participants, therapists, professional societies and industry, among others. Against this background, Prof Eberle has been asked to take over the conference presidency and, together with the AGDT Board, the event management again in 2025. The next AGDT annual conference will take place on 26/27 September 2025 at the Fulda University of Applied Sciences.
