Singapore hospital helps refine AI-enabled tool that will calculate accurate insulin dosage for diabetics

SINGAPORE: Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) and biomedical technology company Buzud are working on an AI or artificial intelligence-enabled tool in an app to help diabetes patients accurately calculate their correct insulin dosage before a meal.

Using an AI-trained camera feature in the app, a patient would snap a picture of his food. The app would then identify meal components in the picture and use data from the patient’s wearable continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to perform the calculations.
