Abstract

Purpose. As one of the defining edges of technology, applied science has had an approach to medicine since its dawn, having a significant influence on Endocrinology. The present text aims to denote concepts of approximation, in order to describe the practical implementation of the tandem between technology and Endocrinology.

Overview. We begin with some specific historical elements regarding the encounter between technology and Endocrinology. Subsequently, we introduce a concept of vibrant validity: time in range as a metric of glycemic control today. We highlight the leading role of continuous glucose monitoring in diabetes, and we explore its potential uses. In the fourth chapter, we make a stop to understand the immediacy between mathematics and Endocrinology. In the last two chapters, we immerse ourselves into the world of digital ecosystems, through the path of artificial intelligence and functional resources such as apps.

Contribution. The exciting world of technology seduces us more and more in different areas; its relationship with Endocrinology is and will be in time of an irrefutable forcefulness. In this way, we extend an invitation to experience the coming processes of said conceptual fusion.
