Patient Monitoring Roundtable No. 2 in 2023 - Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

The second roundtable of the year focused on Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). Dr. Katarina Braune, a specialist in pediatrics and diabetologist with proven expertise in digital health, delivered a keynote address with the following insights:
Continuous Glucose Monitoring…

• helps people of all diabetes types, ages and genders.
• improves clinical outcomes and the quality of life.
• reduces the incidence of emergencies and inpatient admissions.
• generates valuable data as a base for therapy optimization.
• is a new therapeutic standard in insulin therapy.
• undergoes continuous development (accuracy, size, user experience, functions, etc.).
• is an essential component of closed-loop systems.
• can also help people with (or without) other glucose metabolism disorders.

The OPEN project, in which Dr. Braune plays a leading role, was also discussed in detail. It is a project on "do-it-yourself" or open-source technology for automated insulin delivery in diabetes. In addition, questions concerning the future of glucose monitoring were of great interest to all participants.

PLEASE NOTE: The next Roundtable will be held in cooperation with the Healthcare Experience Meetup of IBM iX Berlin on April 25 starting at 6:00 p.m. on the topic "Telemedicine - Panacea or Means to an End?". Further information and the opportunity to register can be found here.

We thank all participants for what was, as always, an extremely exciting event! We wish you happy Easter days and look forward with great anticipation to our next event at IBM iX!
