{"product_id":"prediction-methods-for-blood-glucose-harald-kirchsteiger-9783319259116","title":"Prediction Methods for Blood Glucose Concentration: Design, Use and Evaluation","description":"This book tackles the problem of overshoot and undershoot in blood glucose levels caused by delay in the effects of carbohydrate consumption and insulin administration. The ideas presented here will be very important in maintaining the welfare of insulin-dependent diabetics and avoiding the damaging effects of unpredicted swings in blood glucose - accurate prediction enables the implementation of counter-measures. The glucose prediction algorithms described are also a key and critical ingredient of automated insulin delivery systems, the so-called \"artificial pancreas\".\u003cbr\u003eThe authors address the topic of blood-glucose prediction from medical, scientific and technological points of view. Simulation studies are utilized for complementary analysis but the primary focus of this book is on real applications, using clinical data from diabetic subjects.\u003cbr\u003eThe text details the current state of the art by surveying prediction algorithms, and then moves beyond it with the most recent advances in data-based modeling of glucose metabolism. The topic of performance evaluation is discussed and the relationship of clinical and technological needs and goals examined with regard to their implications for medical devices employing prediction algorithms. Practical and theoretical questions associated with such devices and their solutions are highlighted.\u003cbr\u003eThis book shows researchers interested in biomedical device technology and control researchers working with predictive algorithms how incorporation of predictive algorithms into the next generation of portable glucose measurement can make treatment of diabetes safer and more efficient.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harald Kirchsteiger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319259113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319259116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Harald Kirchsteiger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47203085975807,"sku":"9783319259116","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6fbde6a4-adb9-4f53-b1c9-83bec24c2eba.jpg?v=1756834291","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prediction-methods-for-blood-glucose-harald-kirchsteiger-9783319259116","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
