However, current simulators provide a limited number of VPs, lack real-life scenarios, and inadequately represent intra- and inter-day variability in insulin sensitivity and blood glucose (BG) profile. The generation of a realistic scenario was achieved by using the meal patterns, insulin profiles (basal and bolus), and exercise sessions estimated as disturbances using clinical data from a cohort of 14 T1D patients using the Medtronic 640G insulin pump provided by the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. The UVa/Padova’s cohort of adult patients was used for the generation of a new cohort of VPs. Insulin model parameters were optimized and adjusted in a day-by-day fashion to replicate the clinical data to create a cohort of 75 VPs. All primary and secondary outcomes reflecting the BG profile of a T1D patient were analyzed and compared to the clinical data. The mean BG 166.3 versus 162.2 mg/dL (p = 0.19), coefficient of variation 32% versus 33% (p = 0.54), and percent of time in range (70 to 180 mg/dL) 59.6% versus 66.8% (p = 0.35) were achieved. The proposed methodology for generating a cohort of VPs is capable of mimicking the BG metrics of a real cohort of T1D patients from the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. It can adopt the inter-day variations in the BG profile, similar to the observed clinical data, and thus provide a benchmark for preclinical testing of control techniques and therapy strategies for T1D patientsThis work was partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through grant PID2019-107722RB-C22/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and the Government of Catalonia under 2017SGR1551 and 2019 FI_B 01200 Attribution 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Pàncrees artificial Artificial pancreas Diabetis Diabetes Intel·ligència artificial -- Aplicacions a la medicina Artificial intelligence -- Medical applications Simulació per ordinador Computer simulation Diabetis -- Simulació per ordinador Diabetes -- Computer simulation Generation of Virtual Patient Populations That Represent Real Type 1 Diabetes Cohorts info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion peer-reviewed
