The management of the University of Óbuda sanctified another promising corporate cooperation. This time a cooperation agreement was signed with DiabTrend AI Analytics Ltd. The common goal is to develop a world-class decision support system for diabetics that can be sold on the world market by combining the competencies, resources and innovative solutions of the two Parties.
Prof. Rector Dr. Levente Kovács thanked the company’s management for the commitment he showed from the beginning to the University of Óbuda in connection with the cooperation started in the Cyber Medicine Competence Center (KIKOK) tender. He reminded that research on diabetes at the University of Óbuda goes back a decade. The rector recalled that his research on the subject was carried out, among others, with the participation of the Hungarian Diabetes Society, whose working group dealing with artificial pancreas was recently established at the end of last year.
As a Hungarian startup company, DiabTrend Ltd. combines the possibilities provided by modern personal IT devices with the use of the latest sensors and artificial intelligence methods in order to facilitate the daily life of diabetics. During their development, in addition to their own technologies, they also integrate the results of the University of Óbuda’s scientific workshop into their mobile application, which provides services such as semi-automatic logging, blood glucose forecasting and various automatic alerts for diabetics and care professionals.
All this is clearly related to the ideas expressed in the field of Medicina 4.0. Prof. Dr. Levente Kovács called the ideas born in the meantime both from an educational and research point of view, which were shared with the leaders of DiabTrend Kft. and they were born in consultation with Dr. György Eigner , director of the Institute of Biomatics and Applied Artificial Intelligence, and Dr. Péter Galambos , director of the Cyber Medicine Competence Center (KIKOK) of the University of Óbuda, ie the participants of the work program. He expressed the hope that the formally established cooperation would lay the foundation for the long-term continuation of the joint work.
