Dr. David Kerr MBChB, DM, FRCP, FRCPE| Speaker

David Kerr MBChB, DM, FRCP, FRCPE, a UK trained endocrinologist is currently Senior Investigator in Diabetes and Digital Health Equity at the Sutter Health Center for Health Systems Research in Santa Barbara, California (https://www.davidkerrmd.com/). David’s recent research has focused on offering wearable digital health technologies such as continuous glucose monitors to marginalized and historically excluded communities to help understand the potential value of real time physiological data. He has published more than 400 articles, commentaries and opinion pieces as well as co-authoring the first three books focusing on diabetes and digital health. David has a Google Scholar i10-index of 169 and an h-index of 54. David’s research has also included the use of “food-as-medicine” for adults with or at-risk of diabetes. He has published the outcomes showing measurable clinical and mental health benefits from the prescription of fresh vegetable produce. As part of this research, increasing participation in clinical research by traditionally hard to reach communities has been achieved through the creation of specially trained “Community Scientists” from the same communities. David also has an adjunct position in the Dept of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Rice University in Houston Texas, a member of the research committee of the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists and recently co-Chair of an NIDDK working group looking at the impact of innovation on furthering research into the heterogeneity of diabetes.
