Our Own Innovation
As an addition to the technologies described in our Technological Innovations page, we have a vision of our own innovation that would be beneficial to diabetics. We have created the idea of adding an attribute to the popular Fitbit to where it would be able to track the blood glucose and insulin levels of the wearer and can wirelessly send notifications to a smartphone of glucose and insulin level reports and when the wearer is due for an insulin shot, and it could send alerts for when the wearer's glucose or insulin levels become unstable. Additionally, the Fitbit could calculate the amount and types of food (or the amounts of insulin) that the wearer would need to consume to adjust their glucose and insulin levels based on the information the Fitbit picked up or was given by the wearer. Below is a picture of a model of Fitbit known as the Fitbit Flex.
