The digitalization of medical practices has made possible different innovations such as the analysis of large amounts of data, the application of algorithms for the diagnosis and therapy of diseases, among others. In addition, technological development has given patients the opportunity to rely on technologies to improve their treatments. For example, patients with diabetes can rely on technologies to manage and monitor their blood glucose levels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The study presents the up-to-date overview on available technologies as well as new approaches and possibilities for diabetes 4.0 therapy as referred to by the authors. The study included the review of six online databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science, for the search of scientific articles focused on the use of technologies for the management and treatment of diabetes.<\/p>

The review followed the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) to assess the scope of the literature. The search strategy in the previously mentioned databases established that the following English terms should appear in the title or abstract of the article: \u201cDiabetes Mellitus\u201d OR \u201cdiabetes\u201d OR \u201cblood glucose assessment\u201d AND \u201cTelemedicine\u201d OR \u201cMobile Applications\u201d OR \u201cdigitization\u201d OR \u201cdigital treatment\".<\/p>

\u201cStudies published in English or German between January 2008 and January 2020 that focused on technologies in DM therapy were included. Furthermore, to be included, the studies had to make remarks or comments on the clinical effectiveness, for example, effect on glycemic control, of the type of technology that was presented.\u201d, the authors explained.<\/p>

The search returned 4,935 results for studies that used any of the following types of technology: glucose monitoring systems, insulin pens, insulin pumps, closed-loop systems, mHealth apps, telemedicine, and electronic medical records.<\/p>

The authors noted the following for each of the electronic or digital technologies:<\/p>
