Charmr: Adaptive Path diabetes management design concept

Blogger Amy Tenderich posted her "Open Letter to Steve Jobs" in April, pleading with the Apple CEO to apply some of that company's design expertise to improving the lives of the 20 million American diabetics who rely on technology to manage their condition every day. Amy asked for better products for diabetics, but we recognized that those products had to add up to an experience that would satisfy their emotional and psychological needs. So we set out to develop an experience design concept that addressed user behavior and psychology as well as current technological trends to project how insulin pumps and glucose meters might work five years from now.

@pieofpeace something like this is almost available already. It will be an application within the phone, not an external device.

A bunch of startups in Silcon Valley are already working on all this stuff. There is another technology boom coming when this stuff starts to roll out and solve all sorts of problems.

Everyone should continue to lobby both this company and Apple, a leader in design to production to help us develop such innovative and purposeful products.

Hold on just a minute. They do have this technology today. The minimed 722 which im getting has an optional continuous montiering system which gives you a 24.7 real time reading. Insurance does not cover the continuous montering system.

My daughter was diagnosed at age 3...she is off to college in 2 years. Please make this now. so many individuals need a better way to manage everything related to type 1 diabetes. we don't have a cure...these kids deserve something better. it is our job to make it happen. give the spontaneity of childhood back to these children.
