Managing diabetes, thyroid, and lipid disorders in a major city? That’s part science, part triage, and part juggling act. The toughest part isn’t the physiology—it’s everything around it.
Social barriers, insurance delays, nonstop inbox alerts, and now a flood of wearable data from every device under the sun. It’s enough to spike anyone’s cortisol.
AI may not be the cure for burnout, but it’s a solid start. Predictive tools can flag who’s at highest risk of non-adherence before the A1c creeps up. Automation can finally handle the prior auth grind that steals entire afternoons. And AI-powered summaries can turn hundreds of CGM readings into one clear insight instead of a data swamp.
The goal isn’t to replace the endocrinologist—it’s to restore the human side of endocrinology. Less time coding encounters, more time decoding patient needs. That balance could make urban practice sustainable again.
What tech do you wish existed to make patient care actually easier?
