Unannounced Meal Detection For Artificial Pancreas Systems Using Extended Isolation Forest

This study aims at developing an unannounced meal detection method for artificial pancreas, based on a recent extension of Isolation Forest. The proposed method makes use of features accounting for individual Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) profiles and benefits from a two-threshold decision rule detection. The advantage of using Extended Isolation Forest (EIF) instead of the standard one is supported by experiments on data from virtual diabetic patients, showing good detection accuracy with acceptable detection delays.
