Patient Empowerment Through Predictive Personalised Decision Support
PEPPER (Patient Empowerment through Predictive PERsonalised decision support) is an EU-funded research project which aimed to improve self-management of T1D through the development of a novel decision support system (DSS). PEPPER comprises an artificial intelligence (AI) insulin bolus recommender, coupled with a safety system. A personalised case-based reasoning (CBR) algorithm makes insulin dosing recommendations and model-based reasoning predicts adverse events and detects faults in the system.

Management of diabetes in adults with psychiatric disorders in inpatient settings
People who have diabetes mellitus and develop a psychiatric illness requiring hospitalisation are likely to have their physical health needs overlooked. While prioritisation of an acute mental health problem seems justified in a mental health setting, the links between mental illness and diabetes are not to be disregarded.
The project investigated clinicians’ perspectives of their role in diabetes care (type 1 and type 2 diabetes) in inpatient mental health services.
