Ideal Medtech | https://idealmedtech.com | Senior Systems Engineer | Senior Software Engineer | Asheville, NC | Full-time | ONSITE preferred, FULLY REMOTE with the right skill set (USA only)
Ideal Medtech is a clinical stage medical device startup looking to control every feasible physiological parameter in the hospital -- starting with glucose. This technology has the potential to save tens of thousands of lives a year, billions of healthcare dollars, and thousands of nursing hours.
We're looking to hire a senior engineer with experience developing medical devices in the US or European Union. You'd be working directly with me, the technical founder, owning product development and documentation required for three Class II 510(k) submissions (pumps, control software, and maybe helping a strategic as needed with sensors). Some (but not all) standards you should be familiar with: 60601, 62304, FHIR
You would be working directly with a team at a contract manufacturer (CM), and would be involved in high-level technical decision making, software development, and helping the CM with documentation.
As an early hire, you'd have the option to take equity as part of your payment.
If any of the following skills describe you, feel free to send me an email (see profile):
- Medical Device Cybersecurity
- Firmware Development
- Formal Verification
- Physiological Closed-Loop Control
- Knowledge-Based Systems
- Reinforcement Learning
Please include your CV, salary expectations, timeline for hiring, and any open-source code you're proud of and would want to talk about!

Roman Hovorka (last author on the paper) has been working on this problem at Cambridge for the better part of 20 years! His was one of the first to see hospital use (through a partnership with BBraun) and also to employ the more advanced MPC techniques from chemical engineering.
Finally a thing I'm qualified to talk about! This is my area of expertise. The term "artificial pancreas" is a historical artefact of the original systems from the 1980s, which called anything that controlled blood sugar effectively an "artificial pancreas". These systems do not cover any of the hepatic or hormonal functions of the pancreas, just the malfunctioning islet cell part.
That being said, commoditization of a fully closed loop insulin delivery system would be a godsend for the millions of people living with completely uncontrolled diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes accounts for between 30-40% of raw healthcare spend every year, and it's growing. Primary care like this will keep patients adhering to it out of the hospital and improve their lives immeasurably.
So no, I wouldn't compare this to an insulin pump alone. It's like comparing the latest self driving cars out of Waymo to the cruise control on a 1994 Corolla.
The results (66% TIR 70-180mg/dL) aren't incredible, but believe it or not are far better than most diabetics are able to get. For reference, a person without diabetes will typically have numbers in the 95% or higher range.
We're currently finishing a study in the hospital to improve on these results in a big way!
This would put companies like Audm out of business, but it seems like they already only employ one voice actor for most gigs (ya gotta respect how much she gets done though!). I wish there was more work for professional voice actors, audiobooks done by the likes of Roy Dotrice are an absolutely fantastic ride
> At the point in time when you slice the domains you might not know all the product requirements. Probably a feature will arise which forces you to tangle two services together - now you have one domain. But distributed. Urgs.
Are there any architectures which would allow you to monolithize services like this? Changing product requirements sometimes mean you've just arrived at a better abstraction, which may need you to combine services directly.
Type 2 in many ways is a disease that comes from struggling with diet and exercise. There are many medically valid reasons for that to be so, but it still is necessary to try and address them as much as you are able if you're struggling with Type 2. It may save your life.
A post like this without Twitter in the title isn't nearly as provocative, and would probably have died in /new. It's because of the authors decision to scope out a Twitter clone that we're having this discussion!
My home server is connected to my TV, so I can have a fully functional desktop environment when watching media. Probably the most useful thing on it is a little Arduino that's hooked up to a Django REST API that I can use to control my TV (lost the remote years ago).
Also the server itself is my ancient T530, which is still quite snappy on Arch!
When you get a certain level of academic inertia (tons of postdocs under you etc), you get author credit even when you don't actively participate in the research or writing itself. What's more interesting is how many first author papers are published per year, per author. First author is typically reserved for someone who did a significant amount of the work on the paper.
As a diabetes researcher, results like this don't surprise me one bit, but I'm glad they're getting national coverage! A publication in Nature is an incredible achievement, congrats to the teams involved.
We think good glucose control is at the center of a whole host of medical issues, inside and outside the hospital. Bringing critically ill patients under control has been found to reduce mortality rates by up to 30%, results which have been repeated several times in thousands of patients. These drugs, which are less intense than insulin therapy, confer similar glucoregulatory effects, which has all sorts of cascading hormone benefits etc.
Whenever I want a lamba that's multiline, I usually just declare a nested function. Usually pretty clear, and reusable, and same scope rules as a lamba
I'm sure any released in the last 10 years would, definitely. But don't forget that there are probably tons of underfunded rural outfits that are using old tech/out of support software etc. Meeting in the middle is going to make sure they don't get left behind.
This is just a guess, but it's possible that surveyors are so used to measurements in ft that the existing tools mostly use ft (like the GPS in the video), so completely deprecating it might leave surveyors without the tools they need to do their jobs.
If you check out models/openai_model.py, you'll see it's using text-curie-001, among others, which is an OpenAI dataset. This model is imported in main.py under the name 'Model', which makes me believes the openAI API is serving as the main model used for inference
