Digital health, AI & precision medicine.
Using technology, data and personalised approaches to deliver better metabolic care across all therapy areas.
Overview
Digital technologies are reshaping metabolic healthcare. Continuous glucose monitoring, connected devices, telemedicine, electronic records and artificial intelligence are changing how disease is detected, monitored and managed.
Precision medicine — using genetics, biomarkers, phenotypes and data to tailor care — promises more effective and safer treatment. IMACH aims to help clinicians evaluate these innovations critically and adopt those that genuinely improve care.
Key areas
- Continuous glucose monitoring and time-in-range
- Connected insulin pens and automated insulin delivery
- Telemedicine and remote monitoring
- Wearables for activity, sleep and heart rhythm
- AI for retinopathy screening and risk prediction
- Clinical decision-support systems
- Metabolic phenotyping and subtypes of diabetes
- Genetics: FH, monogenic diabetes, Lp(a)
- Digital therapeutics and behaviour-change apps
- Data privacy, ethics and equity
Across the therapy areas
| Therapy area | Digital & precision examples |
|---|---|
| Diabetes | CGM, AI retinal screening, insulin technology |
| Cardiometabolic & lipids | Risk calculators, genetic testing for FH and Lp(a) |
| Hypertension & HF | Home BP telemonitoring, remote HF monitoring |
| Obesity & nutrition | Digital coaching, food-logging and activity apps |
| MASLD | Automated fibrosis scoring |
| Kidney | EHR alerts for eGFR/UACR testing |
| Sleep | Home sleep testing and wearables |
A critical approach
Not every digital tool improves outcomes. IMACH encourages evaluation of evidence, usability, data security, cost and equity before adoption, and recognises that technology should support — not replace — the clinician–patient relationship.
