Hi folks,
I heard though a relative that there's a company that is trying to use AI to predict blood glucose response following food intake. The general principle, I believe, is that they gather data from CGM devices, combine it with some kind of food intake logging, have an AI analyse the data, and, in theory, once it learns enough, it could predict how a person might respond to a food based on attributes such as carb types and protein, fibre and fat content. It would then enable recommendations about specific foods via an app. Scan a barcode in the supermarket to see if it's good for you, basically.
Does this sound plausible to anyone? If there's one message that's entirely consistent on this forum it's that BG response following eating is very specific to the individual. That would suggest the AI would have to analyse data from every individual to work and only then after that individual has logged all the foods they eat. It also suggests it would only work for those with a CGM.
The company is called Welldoc and the product is called BlueStar. I am not affiliated with this company in any way.
