In anticipation of updates on progress made thus far at this year’s upcoming annual meeting, we’re resharing a previous episode of The Huddle in which Angela Forfia from ADCES and Sarah Ann Piper from Emory Centers explained how this will come to life over the next 5 years.

On this episode of The Huddle, Miguel Johns, Co-Founder & CEO of mmnt and creator of Milton, discusses how the use of artificial intelligence (AI) can benefit health care professionals across the diabetes space and how this technology is growing and changing. Topics include addressing some of the current opportunities and challenges associated with AI in health care, how AI can provide improved clinical decision support, and where this technology may be headed in the future.

Addressing the inequities that exist in diabetes care relies on each and every one of us in the diabetes space. On this episode of The Huddle, we spoke with Dr. Osagie Ebekozien, Chief Medical Officer at the T1D Exchange and award-winning researcher. Dr. Ebekozien talked about T1D Exchange’s Health Equity Advancement Lab (HEAL) and it’s work in advancing health equity for underserved populations. He also outlines actionable steps, no matter how big or small, that DCES across the country can take to advance this work in their practices.

Please note, this podcast was originally recorded in 2023, and host Sacha Uelmen has since moved on from ADCES to pursue another professional opportunity.
