From the abstract:
"Here we present the WEAR-ME study, a large, remotely conducted study of IR (n = 1,165 participants; median body mass index (BMI) = 28 kg m−2, median age = 45 years, median haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) = 5.4%) that uses time-series data from wearable devices and routine blood biomarkers to train deep neural networks against a ground-truth measure of IR (homeostatic model assessment of IR; HOMA-IR). Using a HOMA-IR cut-off of 2.9, our multimodal model achieved robust performance (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) = 0.80, sensitivity = 76%, specificity = 84%) with data from wearable devices, together with demographic and routine blood biomarker data...
This work establishes a scalable, accessible framework for the early detection of metabolic risk, which could enable timely lifestyle interventions to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes."
