- The increasing prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has led to the development of a mobile health (mHealth) solution aimed at improving care and management through predictive modeling and risk stratification.
- "MyGDM" is a user-centered mHealth tool that includes a clinical dashboard for healthcare providers and a patient-facing app, offering educational resources, meal ideas, and options for culturally inclusive communication.
- Feedback from both healthcare professionals and women with GDM was overwhelmingly positive, with all participants in questionnaires indicating the app would fit into their lifestyles and assist in managing their condition.
Aims: Ramadan-focused diabetes education is critical to facilitate safer Ramadan fasting amongst Muslim people living with diabetes. We present the design, delivery, and evaluation of two parallel massive open online courses (MOOCs) in Ramadan-focused diabetes education for people with diabetes and HCPs.
Methods: Two Ramadan-focused diabetes education MOOCs were developed and delivered for Ramadan 2023: one for HCPs in English, and another for people with diabetes in English, Arabic and Malay.
Genomic and personalized medicine implementation efforts have largely centered on specialty care in tertiary health systems. There are few examples of fully integrated care systems that span the healthcare continuum. In 2014, NorthShore University HealthSystem launched the Center for Personalized Medicine to catalyze the delivery of personalized medicine.

- Diabetes specialists mostly focus on type 1 diabetes technology like glucose sensors and insulin pumps, but there’s a lot more to explore with AI for all types of diabetes.
- AI can help improve patient education, support doctors’ decisions, and use different types of data for better care.
- It’s important for everyone involved, like doctors and patients, to work together to make sure we can use AI safely and avoid problems like unequal access to care.
