## 🔬 Technical Innovation

**Custom DiabetesSignificanceModel** computes risk from:
1. **Glycemic deviation** — distance from target range
2. **Velocity risk** — rate of glucose change (mg/dL/min)
3. **Insulin-on-board (IOB)** — hypoglycemia risk from recent insulin
4. **Carbs-on-board (COB)** — hyperglycemia risk from meals
5. **Activity risk** — exercise-induced glucose changes
6. **Variability** — glucose instability over time

**Sundew PipelineRuntime** provides:
- Adaptive gating with PI control
- Energy-aware processing decisions
- Bio-inspired regeneration (simulates solar harvesting)
- Statistical validation with bootstrap CI

## 🌍 Real-World Impact

**Edge AI for Diabetes:**
- Runs on smartwatches/CGM devices with limited battery
- Processes only 10% of events → 10x longer battery life
- Personalized threshold adaptation
- Catches critical events that need intervention

**Mission:** Accessible diabetes monitoring for underserved communities, especially in Africa where battery life and device cost are critical barriers.

[Tech] Built an energy-efficient CGM monitoring algorithm — 90% battery savings



I've been working on a bio-inspired algorithm for diabetes monitoring that saves 90% energy compared to traditional always-on systems.



**How it works:**

Instead of running ML models on every glucose reading, it uses adaptive gating to intelligently decide which events are significant. A custom 6-factor risk model scores each reading based on glucose level, rate of change, insulin on board, meals, activity, and variability.



**Results on real CGM data:**

- Processes only 10.2% of events (22 out of 216)

- Saves 89.8% energy

- Catches all critical hypo (<70) and hyper (>180) events

- Adapts threshold based on your glucose patterns



**Try it:** https://huggingface.co/spaces/mgbam/sundew_diabetes_watch



This could enable longer battery life for CGM devices and smartwatch integrations. Feedback welcome!

[R] Bio-Inspired Adaptive Gating for Time-Series: Diabetes Monitoring Case Study



Implemented Sundew's adaptive gating algorithm for continuous glucose monitoring with promising results.



**Algorithm:**

- Custom significance model (6 diabetes risk factors)

- PI control for threshold adaptation

- Energy-aware gating decisions

- Bio-inspired regeneration



**Results (216 CGM events, 18 hours):**
