AI in Diabetes Care

Diabetes Insights - Breakthroughs and Innovators

Show Notes

In this episode, Prof. João Filipe Raposo (Portugal) and Prof. Harald Sourij (Austria) join Vivienne Parry to debate one of the most discussed topics in modern diabetes care: the role of artificial intelligence.

The conversation explores how AI is already being used to support diabetes management, including automated insulin delivery systems, continuous glucose monitoring and risk prediction. At the same time, the speakers examine the challenges of translating AI research into everyday clinical practice, highlighting the need for robust evidence, high-quality data and meaningful patient outcomes.

They also discuss data privacy, regulation, patient trust and why human expertise and empathy remain central to diabetes care. Discover how AI could shape the future of diabetes management and why careful implementation matters just as much as technological innovation.

In this EASD TV interview, Prof. Zachary Gerhart-Hines (Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research), 61st EASD Minkowski Prize recipient, discusses research into the neurokinin-2 receptor (NK2R) and its potential to change how we approach weight management and metabolic health. Where many existing treatments focus on reducing food intake, NK2R activation could offer a complementary strategy by increasing energy expenditure, influencing appetite and improving insulin sensitivity.
