Abstract
This project originated from an idea that Type-1 diabetes patients need better control over their condition to improve their quality of life based on real life experience. As a result of the early prototypes and cooperation with researchers and clinicians, it became clear that this solution could also be used for many other conditions and chronical illnesses. By close cooperation with internal and external research departments, it has become clear that, by adding this type of technology, it is possible to re-design many existing solutions to better apply real-time AI and other technologies, such as edge computing, to provide preventive solutions to health and wellness organizations.
Anders presentation will describe the evolution of the concept, from idea to solution, and touch upon the potential use of the technology that can enable a different thinking within healthcare.
