Our Project
We are a group of researchers at the University of Canterbury and the University of Auckland are studying how wearable devices and artificial intelligence might help people with Type 2 Diabetes better understand and manage their blood glucose levels. The study uses a small sensor (a Continuous Glucose Monitor, or CGM) worn on the skin and a free app on your smartphone.
This project is funded by the New Zealand Health Research Council Grant number 24/827
