  • Publication number: 20190167170
    Abstract: Methods and systems for sensor calibration and sensor glucose (SG) fusion are used advantageously to improve the accuracy and reliability of orthogonally redundant glucose sensor devices, which may include optical and electrochemical glucose sensors. Calibration for both sensors may be achieved via fixed-offset and/or dynamic regression methodologies, depending, e.g., on sensor stability and Isig-Ratio pair correlation. For SG fusion, respective integrity checks may be performed for SG values from the optical and electrochemical sensors, and the SG values calibrated if the integrity checks are passed. Integrity checks may include checking for sensitivity loss, noise, and drift. If the integrity checks are failed, in-line sensor mapping between the electrochemical and optical sensors may be performed prior to calibration.

  • Publication number: 20170185733
    Abstract: A method for retrospective calibration of a glucose sensor uses stored values of measured working electrode current (Isig) to calculate a final sensor glucose (SG) value retrospectively. The Isig values may be preprocessed, discrete wavelet decomposition applied. At least one machine learning model, such as, e.g., Genetic Programming (GP) and Regression Decision Tree (DT), may be used to calculate SG values based on the Isig values and the discrete wavelet decomposition. Other inputs may include, e.g., counter electrode voltage (Vcntr) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) data. A plurality of machine learning models may be used to generate respective SG values, which are then fused to generate a fused SG. Fused SG values may be filtered to smooth the data, and blanked if necessary.
