IQVIA (NYSE:IQV), a leading global provider of clinical research services, commercial insights and healthcare intelligence to the life sciences and healthcare industries, today announced that its AI-enabled Clinical Decision Support Tool, developed in collaboration with Breakthrough T1D, has won the 2026 AI Breakthrough Award for Predictive Modeling Solution of the Year.

Powered by IQVIA Healthcare-grade AI®, the tool tackles a long-standing problem in diabetes care: adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are often misclassified as having type 2 diabetes (T2D). That mistake delays the right treatment and raises the risk of serious, sometimes life-threatening complications.

Results in practice:

  • Cut the screening workload by 99.5%, narrowing reviews from about 60,000 patients down to 300, or roughly 200 times fewer chart reviews.

  • Delivered a ~127x increase in diagnostic yield — 28% of flagged patients were confirmed or suspected to have T1D, versus a 0.22% baseline.

  • Accelerated the path to the right diagnosis and treatment, helping reduce the risk of complications and improving long-term outcomes.

The Clinical Decision Support Tool was configured in partnership with Breakthrough T1D, the leading global T1D research and advocacy non-profit organization, to enable healthcare providers to close persistent gaps in care, such as delayed diagnosis, missed monitoring and under-treatment.

The AI Breakthrough Awards recognize innovation and performance across the global AI market. This recognition reinforces IQVIA’s leadership in applying Healthcare-grade AI® to solve complex clinical challenges and adds to IQVIA’s growing portfolio of award-winning AI solutions helping to advance human health.
