Advancements in Obesity and Diabetes Management: From Diagnosis to Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the profound influence of technology on the management of obesity and diabetes throughout the entire continuum, ranging from initial diagnosis to effective treatment strategies. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and innovative approaches that harness the power of technology to address the complex challenges posed by obesity and diabetes, two significant global health issues. The integration of technology has engendered revolutionary changes in healthcare, and this Special Issue seeks to uncover the latest advancements and breakthroughs that possess the potential to transform the ways in which obesity and diabetes are diagnosed, monitored, and treated.

The application of technology, such as digital health platforms, wearable devices, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and telemedicine, has opened up new avenues for personalized, data-driven, and remote patient care. This Special Issue welcomes contributions that focus on various aspects of technology's impact on obesity and diabetes management, including, but not limited to, digital interventions for lifestyle modification, the sensor-based monitoring of physiological parameters, real-time glucose monitoring systems, predictive models for disease progression, and telehealth solutions for enhancing patient compliance and adherence to treatment regimens. Additionally, research that addresses challenges related to data privacy, security, and scalability in the context of digital health technologies will be of significant interest.

By connecting researchers, clinicians, and industry experts, this Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of how technology can empower healthcare professionals and patients alike in their efforts to combat obesity and diabetes. The ultimate objective is to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art technological advancements in this field, promoting discussions and collaborations that drive innovation and contribute to the development of more efficient, accessible, and patient-centric approaches for managing obesity and diabetes globally.
