About this study

The study RADAR aims at developing a wearable based dysglycemia detection and warning system for patients with diabetes mellitus using artificial intelligence.

Read the detailed description

Prior research has investigated the general potential of data analytics and artificial intelligence to infer blood glucose levels from a variety of data sources. In this study patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus will be wearing a continuous glucose meter (CGM) and a smartwatch for a maximum duration of 3 months in an outpatient setting. The gathered data will be used to develop a non-invasive and wearable based dysglycemia detection and warning system using artificial intelligence.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent and Diabetes, run by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of the RADAR model: Diagnostic accuracy of wearable based physiological data in detecting dysglycemia (glucose > 13.9mmol/L and glucose < 3.9 mmol/L) quantified as the area under the receiver operator characteristics curve (AUC-ROC) (time frame: 4-12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04689685, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2022.
