The Role of AI in Reducing Data Fatigue
AI helps manage the overwhelming volume of CGM data by surfacing actionable insights and reducing decision burden on users.
The Role of AI in Reducing Data Fatigue
The Data Overload Problem
CGMs produce massive amounts of data—up to 288 readings per day. This can lead to:
- Decision fatigue
- Information overwhelm
- Decreased engagement
- Burnout
How AI Helps
Intelligent Summarization
AI distills data into:
- Key insights and patterns
- Actionable recommendations
- Priority alerts only
Pattern Recognition
Instead of raw numbers, AI identifies:
- Recurring high/low patterns
- Time-of-day trends
- Cause-and-effect relationships
Smart Notifications
AI reduces alarm fatigue by:
- Learning what alerts are actionable for each user
- Reducing redundant notifications
- Prioritizing truly critical events
