As tracking has become more mainstream, consumers who were once only curious about their heart rate at the gym are now interested in diving deeper and learning more. This session takes a look at the technical side of the latest in telehealth solutions, genomic platforms, and hacks in the world of sensors and devices.

2. Diabetes: not “just a shot” nor “simple math”

4. Diabetes is a silent disease. You can’t always
see it, unless you’re looking. And you
definitely can’t always hear it.

5. Device A? Doesn’t talk to Device B. You can’t hear the alarms.
And you can’t get your data from any of the devices (easily).

7. 1. Louder alarms
2. Remote monitoring
3. Data from all diabetes devices
4. Real-time predictive alerts
5. Personalized recommendations
What is #DIYPS?

8. And we realized we could
do even more.

10. Rocket science. (Not rocket science.)

11. #OpenAPS
is an open and transparent effort to
make safe and effective
basic Artificial Pancreas System (APS)
technology widely available to reduce
the burden of Type 1 diabetes.

15. No, #OpenAPS is not FDA approved.
#OpenAPS is (n=1)*45+.
(“You don’t trip and end up with an artificial pancreas.”)

16. ● Most people already test our medical devices to
make sure we understand how they work.
● It’s even more important to self-test tools that
haven’t been through formal organizational QA..and
when they’re not FDA approved.
● This model of distributed QA by users has a long and
successful history in open-source communities.

19. Traditional innovation
User-driven innovation @DanaMLewis

24. "Implants are the most personal of personal devices.
They should answer first to us, then to our doctor
and finally, maybe, to a particular vendor in the
cloud.
Right now, that sequence is reversed.”
