Dr Niti Pall

Regional Chair Europe, International Diabetes Federation

The pandemic has shown us that the inherent fragility of health systems can, and should be, addressed through the digital transformation of care, with an increased focus on prevention and health promotion.

In my opinion, a new paradigm is needed to develop stronger health systems able to address the needs of people living with diabetes and those at risk. Digital disruption will challenge most aspects of traditional diabetes care models, at all stages of the diabetes journey, from prevention and diagnosis to treatment and self-management.

We need a vision for digitally enabled diabetes care in Europe. The current model is unsustainable. Look at the numbers: 60 million people are living with diabetes in the European Region, and that figure is rising rapidly.

Medical devices, apps, electronic patient records, data analytics, telemedicine, to name but a few, are redefining diabetes care. In the process, digital tools are improving the lives of people with diabetes, alleviating the pressure on health systems, and reducing costs.

MedTech Week 2020 was an opportunity to advocate for more digital health – leaving no one behind. We need integrated care that places the individual at the centre, focusing on the strengthening of primary care, and the use of technology to connect and transform health services.

Together with healthcare professionals, policymakers, and industry representatives, I am confident we can reach a better future for people with diabetes.
