Safety and Feasibility of the PEPPER Adaptive Bolus Advisor and Safety System: A Randomized Control Study.

The Patient Empowerment through Predictive Personalized Decision Support (PEPPER) system provides personalized bolus advice for people with type 1 diabetes. The system incorporates an adaptive insulin recommender system (based on case-based reasoning, an artificial intelligence methodology), coupled with a safety system, which includes predictive glucose alerts and alarms, predictive low-glucose suspend, personalized carbohydrate recommendations, and dynamic bolus insulin constraint. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the PEPPER system compared to a standard bolus calculator.

A New Integrated System for Assistance in Communicating with and Telemonitoring Severely Disabled Patients.

In this paper, we present a new complex electronic system for facilitating communication with severely disabled patients and telemonitoring their physiological parameters. The proposed assistive system includes three subsystems (Patient, Server, and Caretaker) connected to each other via the Internet. The two-way communication function is based on keywords technology using a WEB application implemented at the server level, and the application is accessed remotely from the patient's laptop/tablet PC.

A diabetes management system empowering patients to reach optimised glucose control: from monitor to advisor.

The DIAdvisor is an EC/FP7 funded project aiming at the development of a Blood Glucose prediction device which uses easily available information to optimise the therapy of patients with diabetes.
