1. A device comprising one or more processors configured to:
- obtain continuously over time, via one or more sensors, both a heart rhythm signal related to a heart rhythm of a subject and an interstitial fluid glucose level signal related to a glucose level of an interstitial fluid of the subject;
analyze continuously over time changes in a pattern of a heart rate variability of the subject based on the heart rhythm signal;
analyze continuously over time changes in the glucose level of the interstitial fluid based on the interstitial fluid glucose level signal;
extract features from the pattern of the heart rate variability and the glucose level of the interstitial fluid;
reduce the features extracted based on a ranking algorithm to eliminate certain features that do not signify a physiological event;
combine the pattern of the heart rate variability and the interstitial fluid glucose level signal; and
predict, for a physiological condition during a future time period of the subject for which the glucose level of the interstitial fluid is surrogate measurement, whether there would be a change in the physiological condition of the subject during the future time period, a prediction being based on the correlated changes in the pattern of the heart rate variability and the changes in the glucose level of the interstitial fluid, wherein a continuous glucose monitor is a surrogate measure for blood glucose measurement.

Abstract
Devices, methods and systems for predicting and detecting a change in a physiological condition of a subject are disclosed. A device for detecting and predicting a change in physiological condition of a subject may include one or more processors configured to: (i) analyze changes in a heart rhythm of a subject; (ii) analyze a signal from one or more biomarkers that are associated with a physiological condition of the subject; and (iii) determine, based on the changes in the heart rhythm and the signal from the one or more biomarkers, whether there is a change in the physiological condition of the subject during a time period.
