Abstract:
Introduction: The author used math-physical medicine to
research and identify the quantitative relationship between
postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) and food/meal.
Methods: Food is the most important factor of PPG, but it is
also difficult to regulate eating habits. He created an artificial
intelligent (AI) based software to collect his meal data by
utilizing optical physics, signal processing, mathematics,
statistics, and machine learning. He then developed a PPG
prediction model by combining 6M food nutrition data from
the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and his
~4,000 meal photos as his food database. Each meal picture
links with data, including nation, meal location, food type,
menu/dish name, and nutritional ingredients. The system
can estimate consumed carbs/sugar amount and then
predict PPG value prior to eating.
Results: He selected a period of 1,194 days (6/1/2015-
9/7/2018) with 3,721 meals (including snacks) and ~100,000
data for his analysis. There were 86 airline meals consumed
during his 94 trips during this period. The summary results
are listed by both nation and meal location; then, they were
sorted by PPG value with the format of PPG (mg/dL) & carbs/
sugar (gram).
Biography:
Gerald C Hsu received an honorable PhD in mathematics and majored in engineering at MIT. He attended different universities over 17 years and studied seven academic disciplines. He has spent 20,000 hours in T2D research. First, he studied six metabolic diseases and food nutrition during 2010-2013, then conducted research during 2014- 2018. His approach is “math-physics and quantitative medicine” based on mathematics, physics, engineering modelling, signal processing, computer science, big data analytics, statistics, machine learning, and AI. His main focus is on preventive medicine using prediction tools. He believes that the better the prediction, the more control you have.
