[Tech] Built an energy-efficient CGM monitoring algorithm β€” 90% battery savings

I've been working on a bio-inspired algorithm for diabetes monitoring that saves 90% energy compared to traditional always-on systems.

**How it works:**
Instead of running ML models on every glucose reading, it uses adaptive gating to intelligently decide which events are significant. A custom 6-factor risk model scores each reading based on glucose level, rate of change, insulin on board, meals, activity, and variability.

**Results on real CGM data:**
- Processes only 10.2% of events (22 out of 216)
- Saves 89.8% energy
- Catches all critical hypo (<70) and hyper (>180) events
- Adapts threshold based on your glucose patterns

**Try it:** https://huggingface.co/spaces/mgbam/sundew_diabetes_watch

This could enable longer battery life for CGM devices and smartwatch integrations. Feedback welcome!

[R] Bio-Inspired Adaptive Gating for Time-Series: Diabetes Monitoring Case Study

Implemented Sundew's adaptive gating algorithm for continuous glucose monitoring with promising results.

**Algorithm:**
- Custom significance model (6 diabetes risk factors)
- PI control for threshold adaptation
- Energy-aware gating decisions
- Bio-inspired regeneration

**Results (216 CGM events, 18 hours):**
- 10.2% activation rate
- 89.8% energy savings
- High recall on hypo/hyper events
- Adaptive threshold: 0.1 β†’ 0.95

**Demo:** https://huggingface.co/spaces/mgbam/sundew_diabetes_watch

The significance model combines glycemic deviation, velocity, IOB, COB, activity, and variability into a unified risk score. PipelineRuntime uses PI control to maintain target activation rate while maximizing energy savings.

Interesting for edge AI research and medical time-series applications.
