This article discusses the use of smartwatches and machine learning algorithms for detecting hypoglycemia in individuals with diabetes. The study conducted at the University Hospital Bern involved participants with type 1 diabetes who were subjected to hypoglycemia while driving in a simulator. The results showed that smartwatches can accurately detect pronounced hypoglycemia, but their performance in detecting mild hypoglycemia was less reliable. The study also found that electrodermal activity was a crucial feature for detecting hypoglycemia. Further research is needed to optimize the models for detecting milder hypoglycemia. The study was funded by various organizations and the authors declare no conflicts of interest. [Extracted from the article]
