The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus and associated morbidity worldwide justifies the need to create new approaches and strategies for diabetes therapy. Therefore, the ongoing digitalization offers novel opportunities in this field.
The aim of this study is to provide an updated overview of available technologies, possibilities, and novel insights into diabetes therapy 4.0.
A scoping review was carried out, and a literature search was performed using electronic databases (MEDLINE [PubMed], Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science). The results were categorized according to the type of technology presented.
Different types of technology (eg, glucose monitoring systems, insulin pens, insulin pumps, closed-loop systems, mobile health apps, telemedicine, and electronic medical records) may help to improve diabetes treatment. These improvements primarily affect glycemic control. However, they may also help in increasing the autonomy and quality of life of people who are diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes technologies have developed rapidly over the last few years and offer novel insights into diabetes therapy and a chance to improve and individualize diabetes treatment. Challenges that need to be addressed in the following years relate to data security, interoperability, and the development of standards.
糖尿病的患病率在全球范围内不断上升，相关发病率也不断增加，这证明有必要为糖尿病治疗创造新方法和策略。因此，目前的数字化在该领域提供了新的机会。
本研究旨在提供糖尿病治疗 4.0 相关现有技术、可能性和新见解的最新概述。
我们进行了范围性综述，并使用电子数据库（MEDLINE [PubMed]、Cochrane 图书馆、Embase、CINAHL 和 Web of Science）进行文献检索。结果根据所呈现的技术类型进行分类。
不同类型的技术（例如，血糖监测系统、胰岛素笔、胰岛素泵、闭环系统、移动医疗应用程序、远程医疗和电子病历）可帮助改善糖尿病治疗。这些改进主要影响血糖控制，但也有助于提高被诊断患有糖尿病的患者的自主性和生活质量。
过去几年中，糖尿病技术发展迅速，为糖尿病治疗提供了新的见解，并为改善和个性化糖尿病治疗提供了机会。未来几年需要解决的数据安全、互操作性和标准制定方面的挑战。
