AI Technical Summary
Conventional continuous analyte sensors lack the ability to accurately determine their end of life, leading to potential performance degradation and user uncertainty about when to replace them, which can result in delayed glucose level detection and ineffective insulin therapy decisions for diabetics.
A method and system for evaluating multiple risk factors, including sensor usage duration, sensitivity changes, noise patterns, glucose patterns, and error between reference and sensor values, to determine the end of life status and provide timely alerts for sensor replacement.
Enables informed decision-making on sensor replacement, ensuring continuous and accurate glucose monitoring, thereby reducing the risk of hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic conditions and improving insulin therapy management.
