We ask the question: can big data help in the fight against diabetes?

In this episode of the AXA Research Files, science presenter Greg Foot rides with Brian Kamstra of the Novo Nordisk cycling team (a team made up purely of riders with Type 1 diabetes), to understand the kind of fitness data that cycling teams can collect from wearable devices.

Greg also meets and chats to AXA-supported researchers Alessandra Petrelli and Helen Colhoun, to find out if data collected from sources such as electronic healthcare registers and wearable devices can be the driving force for new treatments of diabetes.
