Abstract
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a globally escalating health issue, with its complications significantly reducing life expectancy and imposing considerable economic and social burdens. Particularly in Chile, prevalence soars to 25–30% among individuals aged 65 and over from mid to low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, only 34% of T2DM patients achieve a target glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level of less than 7%. Our proposed project aims to address this challenge by developing and validating an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-integrated, cloud-based mobile health (mHealth) platform designed to enhance T2DM management. This platform facilitates lifestyle modifications and medication adherence, reducing treatment burden, while fostering patient education and self-management. It leverages biometric sensors in smartphones and wearable devices to generate metabolic control indicators to improve glycemic control beyond HbA1c and utilizes AI image processing techniques for early detection of feet ulcers. The mHealth concept, bolstered by increasing mobile connectivity, integrates patients and health providers into digital platforms, thereby creating a collaborative care model. Evidence has shown that multidimensional strategies have superior outcomes to unidimensional approaches, emphasizing the importance of incorporating various determinants into T2DM management. This novel AI-integrated cloud-based mHealth platform has the potential to revolutionize T2DM care by providing comprehensive, personalized, and efficient management solutions that not only address medical needs but also empower patients. By integrating cutting-edge AI and mHealth technology, our project is set to transform the landscape of T2DM management and improve the quality of life for millions of patients.
