The 2026 EDEG meeting will bring together diabetes epidemiologists, clinicians, biostatisticians, and public health researchers from across Europe to explore the latest findings and methodological developments in diabetes surveillance, prevention, and population health. Hosted in the city of Sopron, the conference offers a collaborative scientific setting with oral sessions, poster discussions, and opportunities for methodological exchange across diverse research contexts.
Spotlight on JACARDI
Representing Work Package 8 (Screening high risk populations and individuals), Céline Lavalette, together with Victoria Delavaud, Clara Piffaretti and Sandrine Fosse Edorh from Santé publique France, will deliver a poster pitch and poster board presentation titled “Developing a machine learning algorithm to identify undiagnosed type 2 diabetes in France: The JACARDI “Unknown diab” pilot project”.
Their contribution presents the development of a machine learning model using data from the Constances cohort and the French National Health Data System (SNDS) to identify individuals and geographical areas at high risk of undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. By combining population level risk mapping with potential individual outreach, the activity showcases how algorithm driven early detection tools can strengthen screening strategies within JACARDI and support targeted public health action across France.
