Dana Lewis is the pioneer that has created a personalized pancreas system.The way to create a more effective and personalized system to combat problems in the pancreas.

undertake in the health sector

Dana Lewis began, in 2013, a project to create alarms in its glucose monitoring system, a device that Lewis and thousands of other people use to control type 1 diabetes. Summary, it is an effective way to create an artificial pancreasand personalized.

Little more than four years later, his personal project had become much more than that.Lewis is the creator of the DO-ID-YoursElf Pancreas System, a complete artificial pancreas that includes a blood glucose monitor and an automatic insulin adjuster.

That means that Lewis does not have to constantly monitor his insulin and glucose levels and can sleep all night without waking up for his glucose monitor.It is undoubtedly a great advance in the world of Ehealth and Biotech

build your personalized pancreas

But Dana didn't stop there.Lewis is also the founder of the "open artificial pancreas system (#openaps, which now has more than (n = 1)*250 + people worldwide using artificial dijajera pancrees)."Do not worry, it is normal that it has not been clear to you.It is basically a project to build pancreas in a personalized way, that is, a mechatronic system (combines mechanics, electronics and computer science) to create a personalized system for the subject.

For those of us whose mathematical knowledge is not as developed as those of Lewis, (n = 1) * 250 + translates to more than 250 people worldwide who have built their own artificial pancreas systems, with the help of Lewis.

“It is very relevant in the history of Openops, because each individual has built their own system and is using it, instead of 250 people using the same system.In its place there are (n = 1)*250 systems in use, and they all vary depending on how it was built, customized and how it uses it, ”he said.

Lewis also said that the mentality that she and other Openops defenders contribute to her work can be the climax that begins the restructuring of any field.

“I challenge you to think about what work you are doing;And what is needed to achieve it in 10% of the time, ”he said."I am discovering that many of the barriers to research and innovation are easily eludible, when you are truly willing to apply the mentality of" do not expect it. "

Lewis will be talking about his experience in the construction of the DIY pancreas system at the “What’s The Fix conference?”In Seattle, this June.

If it is already terribly inaccurate that they call "artificial pancreas" to a sad insulin pump connected to an inactive interstitial sensor, if they take away the "artificial" already turns off and let's go.

En 1922 descubrieron la insulina, en 1930 la insulina lenta. ¿Que c*** han hecho desde entonces?

  

Man is not bad ... Pharmaceutizas with millions of euros of Budget and hundreds of employees have not yet succeeded ... Something similar will now get Medtronic with the 670g and is a multinational with a millionaire budget.
Don't you think it has merit?
