Accelerating Transformation to a Digital-First Diabetes Care Model
Authors: Kompala, T., & Neinstein, A.
Published: May 2020
We have learned that the diabetes community is capable of deploying new care models. We have rapidly adjusted to using video visits and remotely collected diabetes device data from continuous glucose monitors, meters, and insulin pumps.
In the future, digital-first diabetes care will be the norm. While a video visit changes only the location of a synchronous doctor-patient interaction, new virtual care models will capitalize on automation and asynchronous technologies, enabling efficiencies freer from the boundaries of time, provider capacity, and geography.
