How wearable devices could identify who needs more help managing diabetes

With the constant advancement in technology, there is a renewed interest in the use of wearable devices in health monitoring. A new study found that wearable devices could help identify patients who could benefit from more guidance in regulating their blood sugar. Researchers from Dartmouth University used wearable devices to examine how diabetes management can vary by month, day, age, and patient’s experience with the condition. "We're looking for specific patterns that could potentially inform clinical guidelines and set the stage for targeted interventions," study author Temiloluwa Prioleau said in the statement. Another study author, Prajkata Belsare said that some researchers have hypothesised that changes in activity levels, lifestyle, and food intake during different seasons impact blood-glucose management, according to the statement.
