Diabetesmine.com recently conducted a competition – Design challenge , where so many talented people came up with several innovative ideas and two students from northwestern university named the winners they are Eric Schickli and Samantha Katz.
The idea proposed by them is very interesting and useful and named that design as LifeCase and LifeApp system, which is a combined software and hardware system for iPhones that combines test strips, a lancer, a glucose meter, wireless insulin pump management, and software for disease management all in one product. And for this idea they received a prize worth 10,000 $ and they really deserve it .
Coming to the gadget, there are 2 things mixed – iphone and glucometer and the strips are attached side of the iphone along with a holder and all in one package and there is also a application specially developed for diabetes management where complete data and statistics are stored and it gives complete picture of sugar levels that is their rise all fall values.
This product will be very handy for the people because phone is a gadget which is used almost by all the people in the world and glucometer attached along with and the software in the phone for analyzing and storing the data and all these facilities in a single gadget will certainly meet the needs of diabetics.
In the competition conducted by them along with this there are several other entries submitted under different categories and if you want u can see those videos from the diabetesmine.com.
I wish to see some more competitions like this in future which will improve the living conditions of the diabetes people in a better way.
