AI will revolutionize Diabetes Care – while never replacing clinicians in our lifetime.
3 Minute Read
A couple of weeks ago, I met with an Endocrinologist – who reviewed the latest demo of Vision AI. He was *very* impressed. So impressed – that he said during our meeting that he thinks that Vision will be able to “replace” him.
I was very surprised at his openness in communication. And I was also very happy that he thought that Vision AI’s performance is so impressive – that it resembles the ability of a high quality clinician.
I proceeded to say to him – why I thought that Vision would never replace clinicians in our lifetime.
Why AI will never replace clinicians in our lifetime: The massive clinician shortage.
In Endocrinology, there is a massive shortage of endocrinologists. It is a 6000:1 patient to doctor ratio – when looking at the number of people in the US living with diabetes – for every endocrinologist. And the wait time is oftentimes 9 months to see an endocrinologist.
With this degree of shortage, we urgently need our clinicians. And it’s not possible to graduate more clinicians fast enough to meet demand. The US has tried for decades to graduate more.
Thus, we will always need our clinicians in our lifetime – and there will never be enough of them.
Why AI will revolutionize Diabetes Care: 10X more care delivered and 10X faster.
Given this massive shortage of endocrinologists – how can patients receive the care that they need for the other 364 days of the year when they don’t meet with a clinician? That’s where we see Vision playing an important role – in providing the most personalized insights possible, instantly, and 24/7.
Here are two ways that Vision is addressing the Clinician Care shortage:
Vision AI for the Clinician: A Clinician’s Twin to help serve more patients
With Clinicians already so busy – Vision is there to supercharge their abilities and help them analyze patient CGM and insulin data faster – to generate insights 10X faster than they normally would. What used to take 20 minutes – now takes 2 minutes with Vision AI.
When clinicians use Vision, they can serve many more patients, and can deliver the optimal care that their patients desire – at the time that their patients need it.
Vision AI for the Patient: An AI Health Companion in one’s pocket
Whether one is a person looking to fine-tune their own diabetes management or a Parent caring for their child participating in a sports event – Vision AI is a health companion in one's pocket to address all of one’s diabetes questions.
For those times in between connecting with one’s clinician – Vision is there to assist for those times.

After I communicated this with the endocrinologist I was meeting with – he was very excited about the future holds for Vision and the field of Endocrinology.
Every clinician wants to best serve their patients. And Vision helps clinicians do that – easier, faster, and more efficient than ever before.

Clinicians are the foundation of healthcare. And AI is the multiplier.
What Vision is doing – is creating a world – where every single person on Earth – will have high quality healthcare. And, clinicians will always be the foundation of this.
Where AI has a role – is in multiplying the abilities of our vital clinicians – so that everyone – from all backgrounds – can receive the accessible and timely healthcare that they want and need.
I’m extremely grateful to our world-leading Health & Medical Advisory Board – who are helping Vision lead the way. And I’m looking forward to working together with more and more clinicians – to help deliver optimized care to billions of people around the world.
Thank you for your time. And if ever anyone wants to reach out to me – do feel free to email me at justin@visionsense.co. I would be honored to connect with you.
