In the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI), researchers are exploring innovative ways to improve the lives of individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes. A research team at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela is developing a method to monitor and predict sugar levels in diabetic patients using AI.
Diabetes Requires Lifelong Management
Diabetes is a long-term condition that requires continuous treatment. While lifestyle and dietary changes can help manage it, patients generally need lifelong medication. Predicting future sugar levels accurately has been a challenge, but AI could offer a breakthrough.
Research Led by NIT Rourkela's Biotechnology Department
The project is led by Assistant Professor Mirza Khalid Beg from the Department of Biotechnology and Medical Engineering at NIT Rourkela, Odisha. The team has used past sugar level data of patients to create an AI model that can forecast future glucose levels with higher accuracy.
App-Based Model in Development
Speaking to media outlet DW, Professor Khalid shared that the project is based on a mobile application. Initial tests have shown promising results. The team aims to launch this technology as a mobile app that will help both patients and doctors better manage diabetes.
Goal: Early Detection and Improved Health Management
The main objective is to enable early detection of sugar level changes and reduce complications. The researchers believe this collaboration between doctors and engineers could lead to a significant improvement in diabetes care.
