About the InnoDiaCare Summer School
In Europe, 60 million people suffer from diabetes with a trend projected towards 70 million by 2030 – driven by obesogenic lifestyles and living environments and by the demographic transformation of European societies. Accordingly many patients with diabetes depend on intensive nursing and homecare and are highly susceptible for functional worsening, exacerbation of comorbidities and avoidable hospitalization. Digital technologies have a high potential to strengthen people’s health resiliency and to intercept early prodiabetic traits. Digital technologies will help to personalise diabetes management and improve life quality, reduce disease aggravation, streamline healthcare operations, and reduce health care costs. Digital technologies will close the present gap between state-of-the-art knowledge and the effectiveness of diabetes management.
