What is it about?
Diabetes mellitus is one of the largest national diseases in Germany, with approximately six million patients and presumably as many people with unrecognized diabetes or risk of this metabolic disease. A concept for a knowledge-based expert system for the therapy of diabetes mellitus is presented, in which genetic, anatomical and physiological parameters are recorded, evaluated and visualized by means of a model-based approach to specific therapeutic recommendations. The "user interface" is a digital avatar, which can display the model parameters in various "abstraction levels" as a metamodel.

Why is it important?
The most important side effects of diabetes are damage to the vascular system with possible consequences: myocardial infarction, stroke, kidney weakness, nasal damage and erectile dysfunction.
Perspectives
The societal relevance of the project is that many diabetics are affected by a type-specific, lasting and lasting behavioral change in terms of diet and exercise. Through knowledge-based care a low-threshold access to well-founded diabetes counseling is created. This advice and support is to be provided cost-effectively by the chosen approach.
