The Rising T1DE Alliance (RTA) is a collective of like-minded organizations committed to revolutionizing type 1 diabetes care through data-driven, patient-centered care. Our approach is proactive, not reactive. Founded in 2016 at Children's Mercy in Kansas City through a grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust (Helmsley), RTA began its innovation journey with a focus on proactively identifying and addressing clinical risks through actionable, timely insights. Follow-on funding in 2020 helped create the Diabetes Data Dock (D-Data Dock), a cloud-based population health management software that integrates data from the electronic health record (EHR), self-management devices, patient reported outcome surveys, and other sources. In 2024, a new grant from Helmsley added Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago to RTA’s leadership team to create a dissemination framework to share the technologies, methods, and workflows developed by RTA across the diabetes ecosystem.
