In a world where you talk to your phone, your car, and even your coffee pot, AI is spreading like wildfire. We all love being able to say, "Siri, what is the temperature outside?", or "Alexa, wake me up at 5am", but this technology is also being harnessed goals a little more important than dimming the lights. The medical industry is the place we expect innovation. Lucrative profits, humanitarian goals, peer accolades for breakthroughs, are just some of the reasons people seek the medical field for their aspirations. Whatever the motivation might be, it is always encouraging when some team or individual makes a medical breakthrough.

Researchers and physicians at Oregon Health & Science University, using artificial intelligence and automated monitoring, have designed a method to help people with type 1 diabetes better manage their glucose levels. The research was published in the journal Nature Metabolism. "Our system design is unique," said lead author Nichole Tyler, an M.D.-Ph.D. student in the OHSU School of Medicine. "We designed the AI algorithm entirely using a mathematical simulator, and yet when the algorithm was validated on real-world data from people with type 1 diabetes at OHSU, it generated recommendations that were highly similar to recommendations from endocrinologists." That's significant because the people with diabetes typically go three to six months between appointments with their endocrinologist.
