GLUCOSE ALERT PREDICTION HORIZON MODIFICATION

Abstract:

Data describing glucose measurements is received from a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system worn by a user and predicted glucose values during a future time period are generated for the user based on the data. A determination is made that at least one of the predicted glucose values satisfies a threshold value for an alert, which is associated with a prediction horizon that defines an amount of time prior to satisfaction of the threshold value for communicating the alert to the user. Output of the alert is caused responsive to determining that the at least one predicted glucose value satisfies the threshold value for the alert within the prediction horizon, relative to a current time. The prediction horizon is modified based on a user response to the alert. Output of a subsequent instance of the alert is caused based on the modified prediction horizon.
