Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are prone to faults termed pressure-induced sensor attenuations (PISAs), particularly when the user rolls over on the sensor during sleep. PISAs result in false, low blood glucose readings, leading to undesirable pump shutoffs and an increased risk of hyperglycemia. Data from an outpatient trial with PISA glucose readings labeled for 1125 nights was used. Machine learning methods such as decision trees, support vector machines, neural networks, random forest, and gradient-boosted machine models are compared against each other and with a previously reported rules-based algorithm for PISA detection on the same data set. The best-performing gradient-boosted machine model is further improved using the developed start-PISA model. Model interpretation methods are used to confirm that PISA behavior is wellcaptured and provides insights into decision-making.
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.
