Have been testing out Spike App (latest version). Its pretty nice, lotssss of settings & options. & lots of color choices for everything imaginable... But, when using Spike to interpret CGM sensor data and display results…. Its obvious, when comparing the RAW data to the “adjusted” points that whatever algorithm was used for this is not nearlyyyy advanced as dexcom’s 505 &/ or whatever variation they are using in the G6… MARD on G6 is 9%, before “505” software update (introduced first in the G4Platinum). Dexcoms G4 Platinum MARD was 14%… then the new software update & ::SHWINGGG!!:: Single Digit Time! —> 9%. [for reference G5 MARD was 9% also, but req’d calibrations. G6 is 9% with NO calibrations, so its obviously been modified in some respects, but i assume they are just continuing to build/tweak their “505” code base. There is some indications in the patent filings about the types of formulas used by Dexcom, Medtronic, & …Abbott? {+ when dex was asked about “who presents the most significant competition now & in the near future, in terms of advanced tech, R&D ~ & they said Abbott. (I think it was Abbott). But - they really arent seemingly worried about Medtronic, like at all!! (which was suprising considering their large market share & considerable potential resources. Butttt…. also not so surprising when considering how bassackwards they do things much of the time. + Once Medtronic had significant mkt share & mkt dominance, they kinda lose the need and desire to push harder @ making Big leaps & advancements, and can focus more on just customer retention stuff, and use their size, position, economy of scale to incentivize DR’s and Insurance Co.’s to maintain status quo. Not hating on Medtronic, there just are some realities that have to be acknowledged about the nature of their day-to-day operations, and their operating theory and perspective in general. Anywho - Anyone know anything about Spike App’s algorithms? —> @kdisimone - Youve been a big proponent of Spike, right? How does your accuracy compare to using the Dex App? Any suggestions for getting the best accuracy? What % of readings are you receiving? (im only getting appx: 80%) but i was using it in the roundabout way: spike data to —> nightscout or Share Acct, & Loop grabs reading from NS / or Share? not sure.. do u know? Too, when Loop cant get BG's from DexG6 App (cuz its off … so i always see the lil cloud icon next to my BG in Loop. ) it pulls from the cloud (im assuming from NS.) *Even when using G6 sensors&transmitters with Spike you do still have to calibrate, at least initially right? Do u know how to get the best accuracy - in terms of how often and how many calibrations are best? If i knew the algo used, i could likely extrapolate the best practices to use to get best accuracy / MARD %’s… found lots of scholarly articles about CGM algorithms, accuracy stats, variables that effect accuracy and reliability and statistically best calibration practices, etc.. —> Thank you Google!
