Quantitative Predictive Monitoring and Control for Safe Human-Machine Interaction

Dong, Shuyang, Ma, Meiyi, Lamp, Josephine, Elbaum, Sebastian, Dwyer, Matthew B., Feng, Lu

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

There is a growing trend toward AI systems interacting with humans to revolutionize a range of application domains such as healthcare and transportation. However, unsafe human-machine interaction can lead to catastrophic failures. We propose a novel approach that predicts future states by accounting for the uncertainty of human interaction, monitors whether predictions satisfy or violate safety requirements, and adapts control actions based on the predictive monitoring results. Specifically, we develop a new quantitative predictive monitor based on Signal Temporal Logic with Uncertainty (STL-U) to compute a robustness degree interval, which indicates the extent to which a sequence of uncertain predictions satisfies or violates an STL-U requirement. We also develop a new loss function to guide the uncertainty calibration of Bayesian deep learning and a new adaptive control method, both of which leverage STL-U quantitative predictive monitoring results. We apply the proposed approach to two case studies: Type 1 Diabetes management and semi-autonomous driving. Experiments show that the proposed approach improves safety and effectiveness in both case studies.


Enhancing Glucose Level Prediction of ICU Patients through Irregular Time-Series Analysis and Integrated Representation

Accurately predicting blood glucose (BG) levels of ICU patients is critical, as both hypoglycemia (BG < 70 mg/dL) and hyperglycemia (BG > 180 mg/dL) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We develop the Multi-source Irregular Time-Series Transformer (MITST), a novel machine learning-based model to forecast the next BG level, classifying it into hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, or euglycemia (70-180 mg/dL). The irregularity and complexity of Electronic Health Record (EHR) data, spanning multiple heterogeneous clinical sources like lab results, medications, and vital signs, pose significant challenges for prediction tasks. MITST addresses these using hierarchical Transformer architectures, which include a feature-level, a timestamp-level, and a source-level Transformer. This design captures fine-grained temporal dynamics and allows learning-based data integration instead of traditional predefined aggregation. In a large-scale evaluation using the eICU database (200,859 ICU stays across 208 hospitals), MITST achieves an average improvement of 1.7% (p < 0.001) in AUROC and 1.8% (p < 0.001) in AUPRC over a state-of-the-art baseline. For hypoglycemia, MITST achieves an AUROC of 0.915 and an AUPRC of 0.247, both significantly higher than the baseline's AUROC of 0.862 and AUPRC of 0.208 (p < 0.001). The flexible architecture of MITST allows seamless integration of new data sources without retraining the entire model, enhancing its adaptability in clinical decision support. Although this study focuses on predicting BG levels, MITST can easily be extended to other critical event prediction tasks in ICU settings, offering a robust solution for analyzing complex, multi-source, irregular time-series data.

Accurate prediction of future blood glucose (BG) levels can effectively improve BG management for people living with diabetes, thereby reducing complications and improving quality of life. The state of the art of BG prediction has been achieved by leveraging advanced deep learning methods to model multi-modal data, i.e., sensor data and self-reported event data, organised as multi-variate time series (MTS). However, these methods are mostly regarded as ``black boxes'' and not entirely trusted by clinicians and patients. In this paper, we propose interpretable graph attentive recurrent neural networks (GARNNs) to model MTS, explaining variable contributions via summarizing variable importance and generating feature maps by graph attention mechanisms instead of post-hoc analysis. We evaluate GARNNs on four datasets, representing diverse clinical scenarios. Upon comparison with twelve well-established baseline methods, GARNNs not only achieve the best prediction accuracy but also provide high-quality temporal interpretability, in particular for postprandial glucose levels as a result of corresponding meal intake and insulin injection. These findings underline the potential of GARNN as a robust tool for improving diabetes care, bridging the gap between deep learning technology and real-world healthcare solutions.


Blood Glucose Level Prediction: A Graph-based Explainable Method with Federated Learning

In the UK, approximately 400,000 people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) rely on insulin delivery due to insufficient pancreatic insulin production. Managing blood glucose (BG) levels is crucial, with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) playing a key role. CGM, tracking BG every 5 minutes, enables effective blood glucose level prediction (BGLP) by considering factors like carbohydrate intake and insulin delivery. Recent research has focused on developing sequential models for BGLP using historical BG data, incorporating additional attributes such as carbohydrate intake, insulin delivery, and time. These methods have shown notable success in BGLP, with some providing temporal explanations. However, they often lack clear correlations between attributes and their impact on BGLP. Additionally, some methods raise privacy concerns by aggregating participant data to learn population patterns. Addressing these limitations, we introduced a graph attentive memory (GAM) model, combining a graph attention network (GAT) with a gated recurrent unit (GRU). GAT applies graph attention to model attribute correlations, offering transparent, dynamic attribute relationships. Attention weights dynamically gauge attribute significance over time. To ensure privacy, we employed federated learning (FL), facilitating secure population pattern analysis. Our method was validated using the OhioT1DM'18 and OhioT1DM'20 datasets from 12 participants, focusing on 6 key attributes. We demonstrated our model's stability and effectiveness through hyperparameter impact analysis.


Basal-Bolus Advisor for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) Patients Using Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (RL) Methodology

Jaloli, Mehrad, Cescon, Marzia

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper presents a novel multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL) approach for personalized glucose control in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The method employs a closed-loop system consisting of a blood glucose (BG) metabolic model and a multi-agent soft actor-critic RL model acting as the basal-bolus advisor. Performance evaluation is conducted in three scenarios, comparing the RL agents to conventional therapy. Evaluation metrics include glucose levels (minimum, maximum, and mean), time spent in different BG ranges, and average daily bolus and basal insulin dosages. Results demonstrate that the RL-based basal-bolus advisor significantly improves glucose control, reducing glycemic variability and increasing time spent within the target range (70-180 mg/dL). Hypoglycemia events are effectively prevented, and severe hyperglycemia events are reduced. The RL approach also leads to a statistically significant reduction in average daily basal insulin dosage compared to conventional therapy. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the multi-agent RL approach in achieving better glucose control and mitigating the risk of severe hyperglycemia in individuals with T1D.

Significant advancements in type 1 diabetes treatment have been made in the development of state-of-the-art Artificial Pancreas Systems (APS). However, lapses currently exist in the timely treatment of unsafe blood glucose (BG) levels, especially in the case of rebound hyperglycemia. We propose a machine learning (ML) method for predictive BG scenario categorization that outputs messages alerting the patient to upcoming BG trends to allow for earlier, educated treatment. In addition to standard notifications of predicted hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, we introduce BG scenario-specific alert messages and the preliminary steps toward precise basal suggestions for the prevention of rebound hyperglycemia. Experimental evaluation on the DCLP3 clinical dataset achieves >98% accuracy and >79% precision for predicting rebound high events for patient alerts.

A lot of the research around blood glucose management for diabetes focuses on the artificial pancreas, so the case Patients with diabetes who are self-monitoring have to decide right where the patient is equipped with an insulin pump. The interested before each meal how much insulin they should take. A standard bolus reader can find an extensive review here [1]. For self-monitoring, advisor exists, but has never actually been proven to be optimal [6] worked on the best delivery of insulin drugs to facilitate BG in any sense. We challenged this rule applying Reinforcement Learning management. Based on a complex diabetes simulator, the authors techniques on data simulated with T1DM, an FDAapproved of [2] and [7] worked on learning adaptively coefficients (CIR, CF) simulator developped by [3] modeling the gluco-insulin interaction.

Diabetes management is a difficult task for patients, who must monitor and control their blood glucose levels in order to avoid serious diabetic complications. It is a difficult task for physicians, who must manually interpret large volumes of blood glucose data to tailor therapy to the needs of each patient. This paper describes three emerging applications that employ AI to ease this task: (1) case-based decision support for diabetes management; (2) machine learning classification of blood glucose plots; and (3) support vector regression for blood glucose prediction. The first application provides decision support by detecting blood glucose control problems and recommending therapeutic adjustments to correct them. The second provides an automated screen for excessive glycemic variability. The third aims to build a hypoglycemia predictor that could alert patients to dangerously low blood glucose levels in time to take preventive action. All are products of the 4 Diabetes Support SystemTM project, which uses AI to promote the health and wellbeing of people with type 1 diabetes. These emerging applications could potentially benefit 20 million patients who are at risk for devastating complications, thereby improving quality of life and reducing health care cost expenditures.
