An early warning model of type 2 diabetes risk based on POI visit history and food access management.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a long-term, highly prevalent disease that provides extensive data support in spatial-temporal user case data mining studies. In this paper, we present a novel T2D food access early risk warning model that aims to emphasize health management awareness among susceptible populations. This model incorporates the representation of T2D-related food categories with graph convolutional networks (GCN), enabling the diet risk visualization from the geotagged Twitter visit records on a map. A long short-term memory (LSTM) module is used to enhance the performance of the case temporal feature extraction and location approximate predictive approach. Through an analysis of the resulting data set, we highlight the food effect category has on T2D early risk visualization and user food access management on the map. Moreover, our proposed method can provide suggestions to T2D susceptible patients on diet management.
