Can Digital Technology Revolutionize Continuous Education in Diabetes Care?

Rapid technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence, wearable technologies, and telehealth with remote monitoring, are transforming continuous education for health care providers (HCPs) in diabetes management. These technologies improve patient care and necessitate innovative educational approaches to prepare HCPs for clinical integration. Digital education offers real-time, scalable, and cost-effective solutions, especially in areas with health care workforce shortages. However, the effect of digital education on HCPs' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and patient outcomes remains under-researched and necessitates further study. As technologies advance, achieving precision in diabetes continuous education becomes feasible. The 2024 ADA Standards of Care emphasize early adoption of advanced technologies and proficiency among HCPs. This commentary explores transformative trends, discussing limitations and proposing solutions to revolutionize continuous education in diabetes care.
