Intensive insulin therapy has an inherent risk of hypoglycemia that can lead to loss of consciousness, cardiac arrhythmia, seizure, and death ("dead-in-bed syndrome"). This risk of hypoglycemia is a major concern for patients, families, and physicians. The need for an automated system that can alert in the event of severe hypoglycemia is evident. In engineering systems, where there is a risk of malfunction of the primary control system, alert and safety mechanisms are implemented in layers of protection. This concept has been adopted in the proposed system that integrates a hypoglycemia prediction algorithm with a global position system (GPS) locator and short message service such that the current glucose value with the rate of change (ROC) and the location of the subject can be communicated to a predefined list. Furthermore, if the system is linked to the insulin pump, it can suspend the pump or decrease the basal insulin infusion rate to prevent the pending event. The system was evaluated on clinical datasets of glucose tracings from the DexCom Seven system. Glucose tracings were analyzed for hypoglycemia events and then a text message was broadcast to a predefined list of people who were notified with the glucose value, ROC, GPS coordinates, and a Google map of the location. In addition to providing a safety layer to a future artificial pancreas, this system also can be easily implemented in current continuous glucose monitors to help provide information and alerts to people with diabetes.

BACKGROUND: The use of telemedicine for diabetes care has evolved over time, proving that it contributes to patient self-monitoring, improves glycemic control, and provides analysis tools for decision support. The timely development of a safe and robust ambulatory artificial pancreas should rely on a telemedicine architecture complemented with automatic data analysis tools able to manage all the possible high-risk situations and to guarantee the patient's safety. METHODS: The Intelligent Control Assistant system (INCA) telemedical artificial pancreas architecture is based on a mobile personal assistant integrated into a telemedicine system. The INCA supports four control strategies and implements an automatic data processing system for risk management (ADP-RM) providing short-term and medium-term risk analyses. The system validation comprises data from 10 type 1 pump-treated diabetic patients who participated in two randomized crossover studies, and it also includes in silico simulation and retrospective data analysis. RESULTS: The ADP-RM short-term risk analysis prevents hypoglycemic events by interrupting insulin infusion. The pump interruption has been implemented in silico and tested for a closed-loop simulation over 30 hours. For medium-term risk management, analysis of capillary blood glucose notified the physician with a total of 62 alarms during a clinical experiment (56% for hyperglycemic events). The ADP-RM system is able to filter anomalous continuous glucose records and to detect abnormal administration of insulin doses with the pump. CONCLUSIONS: Automatic data analysis procedures have been tested as an essential tool to achieve a safe ambulatory telemedical artificial pancreas, showing their ability to manage short-term and medium-term risk situations. (+info)Modeling the error of continuous glucose monitoring sensor data: critical aspects discussed through simulation studies. (6/45)
BACKGROUND: Knowing the statistical properties of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor errors can be important in several practical applications, e.g., in both open- and closed-loop control algorithms. Unfortunately, modeling the accuracy of CGM sensors is very difficult for both experimental and methodological reasons. It has been suggested that the time series of CGM sensor errors can be described as realization of the output of an autoregressive (AR) model of first order driven by a white noise process. The AR model was identified exploiting several reference blood glucose (BG) samples (collected frequently in parallel to the CGM signal), a procedure to recalibrate CGM data, and a linear time-invariant model of blood-to-interstitium glucose (BG-to-IG) kinetics. By resorting to simulation, this work shows that some assumptions made in the Breton and Kovatchev modeling approach may significantly affect the estimated sensor error and its statistical properties. METHOD: Three simulation studies were performed. The first simulation was devoted to assessing the influence of CGM data recalibration, whereas the second and third simulations examined the role of the BG-to-IG kinetic model. Analysis was performed by comparing the "original" (synthetically generated) time series of sensor errors vs its "reconstructed" version in both time and frequency domains. RESULTS: Even small errors either in CGM data recalibration or in the description of BG-to-IG dynamics can severely affect the possibility of correctly reconstructing the statistical properties of sensor error. In particular, even if CGM sensor error is a white noise process, a spurious correlation among its samples originates from suboptimal recalibration or from imperfect knowledge of the BG-to-IG kinetics. CONCLUSIONS: Modeling the statistical properties of CGM sensor errors from data collected in vivo is difficult because it requires perfect calibration and perfect knowledge of BG-to-IG dynamics. Results suggest that correct characterization of CGM sensor error is still an open issue and requires further development upon the pioneering contribution of Breton and Kovatchev. (+info)Hypoglycemia detection in critical care using continuous glucose monitors: an in silico proof of concept analysis. (7/45)
BACKGROUND: Tight glycemic control (TGC) in critical care has shown distinct benefits but has also been proven difficult to obtain. The risk of severe hypoglycemia (<40 mg/dl) has been increased significantly in several, but not all, studies, raising significant concerns for safety. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) offer frequent measurement and thus the possibility of using them for early detection alarms to prevent hypoglycemia. METHODS: This study used retrospective clinical data from the Specialized Relative Insulin Nutrition Titration TGC study covering seven patients who experienced severe hypoglycemic events. Clinically validated metabolic system models were used to recreate a continuous blood glucose profile. In silico analysis was enabled by using a conservative single Gaussian noise model based on reported CGM clinical data from a critical care study [mean absolute percent error (MAPE) 17.4%]. A novel median filter was implemented and further smoothed with a least mean squares-fitted polynomial to reduce sensor noise. Two alarm approaches were compared. An integral-based method is presented that examined the area between a preset threshold and filtered simulated CGM data. An alarm was raised when this value became too low. A simple glycemic threshold method was also used for comparison. To account for random noise skewing the results, each patient record was Monte Carlo simulated 100 times with a different random noise profile for a total of 700 runs. Different alarm thresholds were analyzed parametrically. Results are reported in terms of detection time before the clinically measured event and any false alarms. These retrospective clinical data were used with approval from the New Zealand South Island Regional Ethics Committee. RESULTS: The median filter reduced MAPE from 17.4% [standard deviation (SD) 13%] to 9.3% (SD 7%) over the cohort. For the integral-based alarm, median per-patient detection times ranged, t, from -35 minutes (before event) to -170 minutes, with zero to two false alarms per patient over the cohort and different alarm parameters. For a simple glycemic threshold alarm (three consecutive values below threshold), median per-patient alarm times were -10 to -75 minutes and false alarms were zero to seven; however, in one case, five of seven subjects never alarmed at all, despite the hypoglycemic event. CONCLUSIONS: A retrospective study used clinical hypoglycemic events from a TGC study to develop and analyze an integral-based hypoglycemia alarm for use in critical care TGC studies. The integral-based approach was accurate, provided significant lead time before a hypoglycemic event, alarmed at higher glycemic levels, was robust to sensor noise, and had minimal false alarms. The approach is readily generalizable to similar scenarios, and results would justify a pilot clinical trial to verify this study. (+info)Hypoglycemia prediction with subject-specific recursive time-series models. (8/45)
BACKGROUND: Avoiding hypoglycemia while keeping glucose within the narrow normoglycemic range (70-120 mg/dl) is a major challenge for patients with type 1 diabetes. Continuous glucose monitors can provide hypoglycemic alarms when the measured glucose decreases below a threshold. However, a better approach is to provide an early alarm that predicts a hypoglycemic episode before it occurs, allowing enough time for the patient to take the necessary precaution to avoid hypoglycemia. METHODS: We have previously proposed subject-specific recursive models for the prediction of future glucose concentrations and evaluated their prediction performance. In this work, our objective was to evaluate this algorithm further to predict hypoglycemia and provide early hypoglycemic alarms. Three different methods were proposed for alarm decision, where (A) absolute predicted glucose values, (B) cumulative-sum (CUSUM) control chart, and (C) exponentially weighted moving-average (EWMA) control chart were used. Each method was validated using data from the Diabetes Research in Children Network, which consist of measurements from a continuous glucose sensor during an insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Reference serum glucose measurements were used to determine the sensitivity to predict hypoglycemia and the false alarm rate. RESULTS: With the hypoglycemic threshold set to 60 mg/dl, sensitivity of 89, 87.5, and 89% and specificity of 67, 74, and 78% were reported for methods A, B, and C, respectively. Mean values for time to detection were 30 +/- 5.51 (A), 25.8 +/- 6.46 (B), and 27.7 +/- 5.32 (C) minutes. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to the absolute value method, both CUSUM and EWMA methods behaved more conservatively before raising an alarm (reduced time to detection), which significantly decreased the false alarm rate and increased the specificity. (+info)Clinical alarms are notifications or alerts generated by medical devices or systems to indicate a potential or actual medical emergency or abnormal condition requiring immediate attention by healthcare providers.
Clinical alarms are notifications or alerts that are generated by medical devices or systems to alert healthcare providers to potential patient problems or critical events. These alarms are designed to provide timely and accurate information to healthcare providers to help them make informed decisions and take appropriate actions to ensure patient safety and well-being. Clinical alarms can be triggered by a variety of factors, including changes in vital signs, medication administration, equipment malfunctions, and other patient conditions. Examples of clinical alarms include heart rate alarms, blood pressure alarms, oxygen saturation alarms, and respiratory rate alarms. Clinical alarms are an important part of modern healthcare, but they can also be a source of noise and distraction for healthcare providers. It is important for healthcare providers to be able to distinguish between important and non-important alarms, and to respond appropriately to alarms in a timely and effective manner.
