Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diabetes prevalence is rising and projected to affect 783 million globally by 2045. Effective diabetes self-management relies on diabetes knowledge, lifestyle modifications, and health care support; yet global health care workforce shortages hinder the provision of adequate care. Socially assistive technologies, such as robots or artificial intelligence, are proposed as potential solutions to meet rising demands.
