A new benchmark called FairGlucose has been developed to assess the fairness of AI tools used in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for diabetes management. The benchmark, comprising 300 patients across 12 demographic strata, revealed significant disparities in prediction accuracy across subgroups, which are often masked by population-level validation metrics. Even with stable aggregate performance, subgroup-level prediction errors varied considerably, with type 1 diabetes patients exhibiting higher error rates than type 2 diabetes patients across 33 tested models. This suggests that current validation methods are insufficient for ensuring equitable AI performance in digital health, highlighting the need for subgroup-disaggregated reporting. AI
IMPACT Highlights the need for disaggregated reporting in AI healthcare tools to ensure equitable performance across diverse patient populations.
