At the same time, they carry out all type of activities to prevent and treat the different types of diabetes, and serves as a link for professionals specialized in the field.
Technology is essential to all steps of this partnership, so it is truly important to have a portal where diabetes experts can communicate, learn and stay up-to-date on the latest research, share events and news. In the case of the ADA, this connection platform between specialists is DiabetesPro, a portal designed, created and developed by iXiam, which continues to be maintained as you read this article.
At DiabetesPro users, members and partners may find a wide variety of resources. From updated medical data on the disease, scientific research, directories of programs and specialists, grants to apply, studies or continous training. A wide range of possibilities of registering for international conferences. All this in the same space and in a simple and intuitive way for the user.

During its annual scientific session, we took care of recording, producing and publishing more than 1000 presentations.
