This week, James is joined by Arjun Panesar, founding CEO of Diabetes Digital Media (DDM). Arjun founded Diabetes.co.uk whilst still a student at university in 2003 after his grandfather’s quadruple heart bypass and diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Since then, Arjun has led Diabetes.co.uk to become the world’s largest diabetes support community. He holds a first-class honours degree (MEng) in Computing and Artificial Intelligence from Imperial College, London, with his award-winning Masters research demonstrating the benefit of intelligent systems in improving user experience through collaborative machine learning and data mining. Arjun's focus lies in empowering patients with innovative digital health services that augment traditional healthcare.


Today, Arjun leads the development of DDM’s evidence-based digital health solutions which harness the power of big data, machine learning and behaviour change to provide precise and personalised patient care to patients. This is delivered through insurance companies, health agencies, and governments worldwide – including the NHS. This scalable, effective and engaging approach is redefining chronic disease and wellness, with over 1.2 million members across all platforms.

Arjun has written a book titled Machine Learning and AI for Healthcare which explores how artificial Intelligence and machine learning can be used to improve patient and population health. Arjun’s book is due for release on 2nd February via Amazon https://amzn.to/2EAHCtv
