Leveraging Wearable Technology and Machine Learning for Predictive Monitoring and Management of Diabetes in Kampala, Uganda (DIABETECH-Study)
REFNo: HS5869ES

1. To conduct a pilot study to assess the feasibility of measuring behaviours objectively, such as physical activity, dietary habits, stress levels and sleep patterns using wearable devices and food-intake app among adults living in Kampala, Uganda.

2. To assess the impact of behavioural factors (physical activity, food intake, stress, sleep, as measured using wearable technology) and infectious diseases (malaria and upper respiratory infections) on blood glucose levels (as measured by Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs)) among diabetic patients in Kampala, Uganda.

3. To integrate and visualize behavioural data from smartwatches (physical activity, stress, sleep) and a food-intake app with the blood glucose data from Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) into a user-friendly dashboard, and providing healthcare workers and patients with clear, accessible summaries to aid diabetes management in Kampala, Uganda.

4. To develop and apply machine learning algorithms that predict blood glucose fluctuations based on behavioural factors (physical activity, food intake) and upper respiratory infections, with the aim of generating predictive insights and personalized intervention strategies for managing diabetes among adults in Kampala, Uganda.
