A novel, adaptive decision support system for diabetes self-management using artificial intelligence and mathematical modelling

PEPPER (Patient Empowerment through Predictive PERsonalised decision support) is a research and innovation project to develop a personalised clinical decision support system for Type 1 diabetes self-management.  The tool provides insulin bolus dose advice and carbohydrate recommendations, tailored to the needs of individuals. The former is determined by Case-Based Reasoning (CBR)  an artificial intelligence technique that adapts to new situations according to past experience. The latter uses a model-based approach that also promotes safety by providing glucose alarms, low-glucose insulin suspension and fault detection
