Brief summary

The study RADAR aims at developing a wearable based dysglycemia detection and warning system for patients with diabetes mellitus using artificial intelligence.

Detailed description

Prior research has investigated the general potential of data analytics and artificial intelligence to infer blood glucose levels from a variety of data sources. In this study patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus will be wearing a continuous glucose meter (CGM) and a smartwatch for a maximum duration of 3 months in an outpatient setting. The gathered data will be used to develop a non-invasive and wearable based dysglycemia detection and warning system using artificial intelligence.

Interventions

OTHERWearing smartwatch and continous glucose sensor
