Precision treatment platform enabled by whole body digital twin technology

A patient health management platform accesses a metabolic profile for a patient and biosignals recorded for the patient during a current time period comprising sensor data and/or lab test data collected for the patient. The platform receives patient data recorded during the current time period comprising food items consumed, medications taken, and symptoms experienced by the patient. The platform implements a machine-learned metabolic model to determine a metabolic state of the patient at a conclusion of the current time period by comparing a true representation of the metabolic state and a prediction of the metabolic state. The true representation and the prediction are determined based on the recorded biosignals and the recorded patient data, respectively. The platform generates a patient-specific treatment recommendation outlining instructions for the patient to improve their metabolic state and provides the patient-specific treatment recommendation to the patient device for display to the patient.

A continuous glucose monitoring system may utilize externally sourced information regarding the physiological state and ambient environment of its user for externally calibrating sensor glucose measurements. Externally sourced factory calibration information may be utilized, where the information is generated by comparing metrics obtained from the data used to generate the sensor's glucose sensing algorithm to similar data obtained from each batch of sensors to be used with the algorithm in the future. The output sensor glucose value of a glucose sensor may also be estimated by analytically optimizing input sensor signals to accurately correct for changes in sensitivity, run-in time, glucose current dips, and other variable sensor wear effects. Correction actors, fusion algorithms, EIS, and advanced ASICs may be used to implement the foregoing, thereby achieving the goal of improved accuracy and reliability without the need for blood-glucose calibration, and providing a calibration-free, or near calibration-free, sensor.
