Dr Scott Cunningham

Scott is Senior Lecturer at the University of Dundee and co-founder, Director and Chief Technical Officer at MyWay Digital Health. He has twenty-five years’ experience in software architecture, development and project management within healthcare. He was technical lead for NHS Scotland’s shared electronic record for diabetes: SCI Diabetes Collaboration (SCI-DC – www.sci-diabetes.scot.nhs.uk). This system has been hugely influential in the understanding of diabetes epidemiology and pharmacogenomics. Scott has been internationally recognised as an expert in Diabetes Registries.

He initiated and leads NHS Scotland’s diabetes award-winning programme patient information and records access service: My Diabetes My Way (www.mydiabetesmyway.scot.nhs.uk). This system has been embedded as an integral part of diabetes care in Scotland since 2008. Scott and his team have a track record of taking research development grants to the level of fully integrated national services, with this being one of our longer-term aims for iDiabetes.
