GlucoBand-DiabetesMine 2010 Design Challenge

GlucoBand is a non-invasive glucose monitor wrist band for Diabetic Care. When worn, it indicates the wearers glucose level continuously through a color coded system and an alarm to warn of excessive glucose levels. We want users to perceive GlucoBand as a lifestyle item more than a medical device in which Diabetes is a manageable condition rather than a disease.

Is this from the same manufacturer as the original Glocoband that promised the same results over 5 years ago that never made it past "real" clinical trials? Why the color system, why not just display accurate glucose numbers if you system is that accurate?

This is a great idea, not just for type 2

Very nice, it addresses all of the issues that a diabetic faces during the day. Although for type 1 like myself we would still have to test to get the accurate dosage to bring hyperglycemia down to acceptable levels.

I would definitively buy this. I really like the easy to carry bracelet and food information addition.

This is quite a neat idea.
