The development of technology has been remarkable in recent decades, including in the fields of information technology, biotechnology, and genetic engineering. However, despite rapid advancements in diabetes technology, a technical cure for diabetes has not yet been achieved. There seems to be a gap between high technology and its application in medical technology, leaving patients and experts questioning why modern technologies are not more visible in treating diabetes. Understanding the various steps involved in developing and implementing a product is essential for successful development and marketing.
The development of technology, for example in the field of information technology or biotechnology and genetic engineering, has been breathtaking in recent decades. Development has also been rapid in the field of diabetes technology. However, no technical cure for diabetes has yet been achieved. Patients and also diabetes experts ask themselves why the availability of modern technologies does not automatically become visible in medical technology. They feel a gap between high technology and diabetes technology. However, the development and marketing of any product is an ever-increasing challenge. This will be mastered the faster; the higher the general dissemination, the higher the amortization of investments will be.
