1 Sample Definition And Size
The study recruited 23 healthy adult participants (aged ≥18 years, residing in the United States), but data from 3 participants were excluded—two due to sensor irregularities with dark skin tones and one due to a pre-existing heart condition—resulting in a final analyzed sample of 20 participants ([mdpi.com](https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/24/16/5331?utm_source=openai)).
2 Study Type
This was a pilot observational study employing supervised machine learning (Light Gradient Boosting Machine) for binary classification (high‑carbohydrate vs low‑carbohydrate) using postprandial heart rate data collected via non‑invasive wearable devices, with leave‑one‑person‑out cross‑validation ([mdpi.com](https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/24/16/5331?utm_source=openai)).
3 Conflicts Of Interest
No conflicts of interest or funding sources were declared in the accessible metadata or abstract; none were reported in the available sections ([pdfs.semanticscholar.org](https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/0c5c/57011f421e1d2c321eefb0f53cfdc9ad2d2b.pdf?utm_source=openai)).
4 Results Summary
The LGBM classifier achieved robust performance within a 60‑second window: all evaluation metrics (accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, ROC‑AUC) were at least 84%. ROC‑AUC scores across the 20 leave‑one‑person‑out folds were all above 65%, with mean and median ROC‑AUC of approximately 85% and 87%, respectively. Some accuracy outliers were as low as 66%, indicating inter‑individual variability ([mdpi.com](https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/24/16/5331?utm_source=openai)).
