Glooko developed a machine learning model that predicts risk of declining engagement with its mHealth app that supports diabetes self-management.

  • Individuals who are enrolled in remote patient monitoring (RPM) programs commonly disengage over time.
  • We developed a machine learning model that predicts risk of declining engagement (dropout) with an mHealth app (Glooko) that supports diabetes self-
    management.
  • We trained a gradient boosting algorithm to predict risk of declining engagement in the next 28 days.
  • We selected 7134 people with diabetes (PWD) using meter and/or insulin pump devices who used the Glooko diabetes management app in a remote (outside
    of the clinic).

  • We used self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG), demographic, and app engagement data from the prior 28 days.
  • Data were limited to 1/1/2019-7/1/2019 (40,349 total predictions).
