Abstract: An aspect of an embodiment or partial embodiment of the present invention (or combinations of various embodiments in whole or in part of the present invention) comprises, but not limited thereto, a method and system (and related computer program product) for continually assessing the risk of hypoglycemia for a patient and then determining what action to take based on that risk assessment. A further embodiment results in two outputs: (1) an attenuation factor to be applied to the insulin rate command sent to the pump (either via conventional therapy or via open or closed loop control) and/or (2) a red/yellow/green light hypoglycemia alarm providing to the patient an indication of the risk of hypoglycemia. The two outputs of the CPHS can be used in combination or individually.

Abstract: Embodiments can relate to systems and methods for automatically detecting sensor compression in continuous glucose monitoring in real time. A system may include at least one sensor and at least one processor in communication with the at least one sensor. The at least one processor is programmed or configured to cause the processor to retrieve first measurement data including at least one time series of blood glucose (BG) measurements, the at least one time series being measured by the at least one sensor while not subject to compression; receive, from the at least one sensor, second measurement data including at least one BG measurement; determine a clearance value between BG measurements based on the first measurement data and the second measurement data; and generate a signal output indicating that the at least one sensor is subject to compression based on the clearance value between BG measurements exceeding a predefined threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods for denoising a magnetic resonance (MR) image utilize an unsupervised deep convolutional neural network (U-DCNN). Magnetic resonance (MR) image data of an area of interest of a subject can be acquired, which can include noisy input images that comprise noise data and noise free image data. For each of the noisy input images, iterations can be run of a converging sequence in an unsupervised deep convolutional neural network. In each iteration, parameter settings are updated; the parameter settings are used in calculating a series of image feature sets with the U-DCNN. The image feature sets predict an output image. The converging sequence of the U-DCNN is terminated before the feature sets predict a respective output image that replicates all of the noise data from the noisy input image. Based on a selected feature set, a denoised MR image of the area of interest of the subject can be output.
