Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Diabetes has in just a few decades become one of the major diseases around the world. The number of people with diabetes quadrupled from 1980 to 2014 (108 to 422 million) with a death toll of 4.2 million in 2019. Today, diabetes is the major cause of stroke, heart attacks, blindness, kidney failure, and lower limb amputation.

Numerous efforts have been made to provide advanced solutions to measure, analyze, and predict glycemic and related factors to coach patients but also to provide medical practitioners with platforms to monitor this type of chronic disease.

In recent years, smart sensors, the Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence have triggered a revolution in this field. In particular, advances in deep learning models, transfer learning, as well the acceptability and interpretability of these models, have allowed them to achieve an impressive performance. These technological advances are transforming diabetes care from early diagnosis to risk modeling and complication monitoring.

This Special Issue is intended to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive view of recent progress in Artificial Intelligence applied to diabetes care.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Diabetes diagnosis
  • Blood sugar modeling and prediction
  • Physical activity and emotion analysis for diabetes
  • Nutritional analysis
  • Patients’ self-management and coaching
  • Risk modelling
  • Complication monitoring
  • Genomics for diabetes
  • Emerging trends in deep learning techniques
  • Physiological models for diabetes assessment
  • Smart sensing and IoT
  • Multisensor data fusion
  • Intelligent data acquisition and measurement systems
  • Cloud and embedded computing
  • Human/machine smart interfaces

(1) Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose. Recently, some studies approached the diabetes care domain through the analysis of the modifications of cardiovascular system parameters. In fact, cardiovascular diseases are the first leading cause of death in diabetic subjects. Thanks to their cost effectiveness and their ease of use, electrocardiographic (ECG) and photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals have recently been used in diabetes detection, blood glucose estimation and diabetes-related complication detection. This review’s aim is to provide a detailed overview of all the published methods, from the traditional (non machine learning) to the deep learning approaches, to detect and manage diabetes using PPG and ECG signals. This review will allow researchers to compare and understand the differences, in terms of results, amount of data and complexity that each type of approach provides and requires. (2) Method: We performed a systematic review based on articles that focus on the use of ECG and PPG signals in diabetes care. The search was focused on keywords related to the topic, such as “Diabetes”, “ECG”, “PPG”, “Machine Learning”, etc. This was performed using databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar and IEEE Xplore. This review’s aim is to provide a detailed overview of all the published methods, from the traditional (non machine learning) to the deep learning approaches, to detect and manage diabetes using PPG and ECG signals. This review will allow researchers to compare and understand the differences, in terms of results, amount of data and complexity that each type of approach provides and requires. (3) Results: A total of 78 studies were included. The majority of the selected studies focused on blood glucose estimation (41) and diabetes detection (31). Only 7 studies focused on diabetes complications detection. We present these studies by approach: traditional, machine learning and deep learning approaches. (4) Conclusions: ECG and PPG analysis in diabetes care showed to be very promising. Clinical validation and data processing standardization need to be improved in order to employ these techniques in a clinical environment. Full article
