Type I Diabetes (T1D) is a chronic disease in which the body's ability to synthesize insulin is destroyed. It can be difficult for patients to manage their T1D, as they must control a variety of behavioral factors that affect glycemic control outcomes. In this paper, we explore T1D patient behaviors using a Signal Temporal Logic (STL) based learning approach. STL formulas learned from real patient data characterize behavior patterns that may result in varying glycemic control. Such logical characterizations can provide feedback to clinicians and their patients about behavioral changes that patients may implement to improve T1D control. We present both individual-and population-level behavior patterns learned from a clinical dataset of 21 T1D patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
