Abstract

The escalating prevalence of prediabetes in Indonesia, particularly among children and adolescents, necessitates the development of lightweight, adaptable, and cost-effective telemedicine solutions for the noninvasive monitoring of blood glucose levels. Existing systems predominantly employ machine learning and deep learning approaches that require substantial computational resources and stable internet connectivity, limiting their applicability in regions with constrained digital infrastructure. The objective of this study is to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)–driven telemedicine system that employs an expert system to determine prediabetes status by utilizing commercially available smartwatches as noninvasive optical sensors. The methodological approach includes an examination of smartwatch capabilities to identify Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors, service architectures, and the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT); the development of a Rule-Based Reasoning (RBR) expert system to determine prediabetes status using Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) and Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PP2) measurements; and the application of Rapid Application Development (RAD) methods in the development of Flutter-based mobile applications and Laravel Inertia Vue–based web applications. The results of this study demonstrate that the telemedicine system operates in both offline and online modes and incorporates AI functionality on mobile devices and servers without requiring extensive computational resources. All system functionalities successfully passed testing, and the expert system achieved 100% accuracy in determining prediabetes status. In conclusion, the integration of telemedicine and AI-based expert systems provides an effective, economical, and flexible solution that can be widely implemented in Indonesia to reduce the increasing incidence of prediabetes through continuous digital health monitoring.
