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
