i think that's thinking inside the BOX or being satisfied with status quo. Most costs/pains of diabetes are from mistakes in care (~75%). The patient manages their condition day to day themselves (99%). Studies have shown that we can catch complications and improve lives by analyzing patient's glucometer data.
Digitizing this data, making it accesible vs. having it as a printer paper folder, is the first step. Once we have the data, we need to make decisions based on it. Computers are a lot better analyzing 1000s data points from multiple vitals. Main problem is the device connectivity fragmentation.... at Infometers we are working to solve that problem. Reason I say this, send me a names of the diabetes monitor you use - I might already support it.
hi, website does not list all the devices :). I will update it over the holidays downtime. Can you please send me an email with your meter name ( i think said you use the contour USB?)
Alex, great article. Check out my startup Infometers.com. We are working to solve this problem and open access to the data siloed on glucose monitoring devices everywhere. Feel free to reach out :) Would love to chat more
Thats interesting. Thanks for the link. Yet that is different, because it's teaching them a brand new skill. There needs to be something to help them transfer the skills.
So my friend is a producer & manager in Hollywood.
He thinks Hollywood model is broken. He has access to content. Yet he can't get it on the tv or movie screens because there are like a dozen people who control that.
In many ways - we agree with Paul: ycombinator.com/rfs9.html
Technology has made movie making extremely cheap. Distribution is the real problem to be solved.
We want to make an Independent movie and tv channel app (& later platform) both on Google and Apple TV.
Make quality unique content from independent or small/medium size movie studios available for the resulting TV/Movie channel app.
Thru these TV app platforms we are able to launch an equivalent to an independent content network (note: the content can be hosted anywhere). Take out some of the control they have. This weekend making v1.0 at: http://www.svandroid.org/events/51143042/
