The patient’s data are initially assessed by nutritionists, physiotherapists, and psychologists and correlated further manual data from the app, including food logs, activity regimes, sleep, and medication.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning predictive models can then create a personalised approach to managing blood sugar longer term through behavioural changes.
CGM use is growing in patients as technological advancements provide increasingly accurate feedback for glycaemic management. A market model by GlobalData estimates that by 2030, the global CGM market will be worth just over $2bn, up from $600m in 2015.
