This chapter examines the transformative role of digital health technologies in managing diabetes-related disabilities, focusing on tools that enhance monitoring, mobility, and long- term functional independence. As diabetes remains a leading cause of chronic complications affecting nerve function, wound healing, and mobility, emerging digital solutions—such as continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), smart insoles, mobile health apps, and remote patient monitoring (RPM)—offer proactive, personalized approaches to care. Innovations in AI-powered analytics and telemedicine are enabling earlier detection of complications like diabetic foot ulcers and gait instability, while digital physiotherapy platforms support rehabilitation and physical activity. The integration of these tools into routine diabetes management has the potential to empower patients, reduce hospitalizations, and alleviate the overall healthcare burden. This chapter also explores practical challenges in implementation, including device accessibility, digital literacy, data security, and adherence. By bridging clinical care with technology and patient-centered design, digital interventions are reshaping the landscape of diabetes care—beyond blood sugar control—to address the full spectrum of diabetes-related disabilities.

摘要

This chapter examines the transformative role of digital health technologies in managing diabetes-related disabilities, focusing on tools that enhance monitoring, mobility, and long- term functional independence. As diabetes remains a leading cause of chronic complications affecting nerve function, wound healing, and mobility, emerging digital solutions—such as continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), smart insoles, mobile health apps, and remote patient monitoring (RPM)—offer proactive, personalized approaches to care. Innovations in AI-powered analytics and telemedicine are enabling earlier detection of complications like diabetic foot ulcers and gait instability, while digital physiotherapy platforms support rehabilitation and physical activity. The integration of these tools into routine diabetes management has the potential to empower patients, reduce hospitalizations, and alleviate the overall healthcare burden. This chapter also explores practical challenges in implementation, including device accessibility, digital literacy, data security, and adherence. By bridging clinical care with technology and patient-centered design, digital interventions are reshaping the landscape of diabetes care—beyond blood sugar control—to address the full spectrum of diabetes-related disabilities.
