Several factors influence the subject\u2019s BG profile over the day, including meals, physical activity, and sleep. Wearable devices are available for monitoring the patient\u2019s BG value around the clock, while activity trackers can be used to record his\/her sleep and physical activity. However, few tools are available to jointly analyze the collected data, and only a minority of them provide functionalities for performing advanced and personalized analyses. In this paper, we present AID-GM, a web application that enables the patient to share with his\/her diabetologist both the raw BG data collected by a flash glucose monitoring device, and the information collected by activity trackers, including physical activity, heart rate, and sleep. AID-GM provides several data views for summarizing the subject\u2019s metabolic control over time, and for complementing the BG profile with the information given by the activity tracker. AID-GM also allows the identification of complex temporal patterns in the collected heterogeneous data. In this paper, we also present the results of a real-world pilot study aimed to assess the usability of the proposed system. The study involved 30 pediatric patients receiving care at the Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Hospital in Pavia, Italy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20010128","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,24]],"date-time":"2019-12-24T10:28:43Z","timestamp":1577183323000},"page":"128","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Patient-Generated Health Data Integration and Advanced Analytics for Diabetes Management: The AID-GM Platform"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Elisa","family":"Salvi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1431-6044","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pietro","family":"Bosoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2687-3822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valentina","family":"Tibollo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRCCS Istituti Clinici Scientifici Maugeri, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisanne","family":"Kruijver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2137-5974","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valeria","family":"Calcaterra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric and Adolescent Unit, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Pediatric Endocrinologic Unit, Department of Maternal and Children\u2019s Health, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1390-9825","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lucia","family":"Sacchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Riccardo","family":"Bellazzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"IRCCS Istituti Clinici Scientifici Maugeri, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristiana","family":"Larizza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"WHO (2019, January 01).
