Summary
This completed study tested whether a smartwatch, combined with artificial intelligence, could identify digital signs of type 2 diabetes. Researchers gave 210 adults a multisensor watch to track heart rate and other vitals, then analyzed the data with machine learning. The goal was to find patterns linked to diabetes and blood sugar control, potentially leading to simpler, non-invasive monitoring.
