AI detects diabetes from fatty tissue in chest x rays
Judy Wawira Gichoya and Emory colleagues have developed an AI model that detects warning signs for diabetes in x rays collected during routine exams. The signs were also detected in patients who do not meet elevated risk guidelines. Applying deep learning to images and electronic health record data, the model that successfully flagged elevated diabetes risk in a retrospective analysis, often years before patients were…

In ear PPG used to measure blood glucose levels in proof of concept study
Danilo Mandic and Imperial College colleagues have developed a novel in-ear PPG device for continuous blood glucose level measurement, using the infrared wavelength of a pulse oximeter. In a recent proof of concept study, non-diabetic, pre-diabetic, type I diabetic, and type II diabetic states were considered. Recordings spanned 9 days, in both fasting and post carbohydrate consumption…

Microneedle wearable continuously monitors glucose, lactate, alcohol
UCSD Professor Joe Wang and colleagues have created a multiple biomarker monitor in the form of a painless microneedle patch, which Wang calls a “complete lab on the skin.” Glucose, lactate and alcohol levels are monitored simultaneously, in real time. Microneedles enable the direct sample of interstitial fluid, which provides a similar measure of biochemical…
