A research platform should not require a person to have the newest device before their experience matters. Meter readings, periodic laboratory reports, practical routines and barriers to care all deserve attention.
Our proposed non-device pathway focuses on organizing available information, helping people prepare questions and supporting understandable education. Sparse records cannot justify an invented continuous glucose trace.
For families and children, the responsibilities become even more specific. Maternal health, childhood development, autoimmune risk and monogenic diabetes need distinct expertise and research pathways. One generic prediction cannot responsibly represent all of them.
Participation should be understandable and voluntary. Our approach separates care-related use, research participation, model training and future contact. We intend to measure burden and accessibility alongside technical performance.
