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.

    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.

    I just started a Minimed pump today, and this “Charmr” this would kick its anyday. I would sign up for a clinical trial / beta in a heartbeat. Spread the word!

    There is no reason why this isn’t possible. Difficult? Yes. Impossible? Absolutely not.

    Its amazing how medical device companies ignore the human side of diabetes. Although accuracy is number 1, its is clear that in this day, the human device interface is the make or break factor. I have diabetes and my pockets are overstuffed with equipment. The consolidation of devices will be great for me. I hope medtronic, dexcom, abott, insulet, etc are watching this. Forgive my candor, because i feel very passionately about this subject and also I am drunk right now.
