Developed by assistant professor of Biotechnology and Medical Engineering in NIT-R Mirza Khalid Baig and his research scholar Deepjyoti Kalita, the model learns from past glucose trends, insulin dosage, meal information and physical activity data to provide more accurate forecast without needing complex adjustments.

NIT-R sources said new digital health technologies, especially those that use artificial intelligence (AI), offer a way to improve diabetes care and reduce costs. Machine learning has been used in many areas of diabetes research, from basic studies to predictive tools that can help doctors and patients make better and timely decisions.
