Our project is pretty new.
It’s about emotions, it’s about feelings, it’s about happiness,
It’s about finding peace of mind.
Five years ago Victor’s live changed.
He was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes
But he found that everything surrounding diabetes management is about data.
We already have sophisticated technology, and technology is available to change the world. It can improve our lives.
Victor tested a lot of Diabetes applications. But confirmed they all were data logs.
So he decided to create his own solution.
He wanted the diabetes to adapt to him, and not the other way around.He wanted to eat what he wanted to at!. Safely. To live a proper life.
He found a way to do exactly that.
Two years ago, I met Víctor in a bar in Barcelona.
He told me about his experience of using his own APP. And it was already helping him: “It remembers what you ate one day, what your glucose level was then, and how much insulin you needed later on. It never forgets anything because it’s an intelligent system that learns; it’s personalised for you. You can check your progress on its graphs. And it stops hypoglycaemia at night. It connects everyone together who’s got what I have, so we can help it each. It transforms our lives for the better”.
When we saw it working for Víctor, we thought it would be useful for many other people. So we decided to create a team, get experts to help, and start a global Project.
Social Diabetes uses the insulin guidelines prescribed by Diabetics doctors to calculate changes depending on what they have eaten.
It’s also a global community sharing information about food and experiences of living with diabetes.
The system lets the doctors, manage diabetes remotely, which is important for saving time and money for diabetics and their health management systems.
This video shows the Project hightlights.
To summarize benefits:
We control food. Food no longer control us: So greater freedom, greater risk control, and greater quality of life
Sharing knowledge empowers diabetics: Sharing information about food, learning from other’s experiences, feeling connected.
Healthcare savings, by virtual monitoring of statistics, evolutionary analysis, management via alerts to your mobile…
Social Diabetes its a self management system developed by diabetics for diabetics.
