Medicine, sports, technology. Very cool idea from one of our very own anatomy professors, Dr. Colello!

@danamlewis Provides a medium to spread the word on important healthcare related topics (practice, accessibility, etc.) and gives insight from providers

[HITSIG @HITSIGVCU]

#HCSM Sunday night chat moderated by @danamlewis to facilitate conversations related to hot topics in healthcare.

[HITSIG @HITSIGVCU]

Doesn't require much tech ability to build it. However, it is important to spread the word about this technology being possible.

[HITSIG @HITSIGVCU]

How do we get people who are not tech savvy to first hear about this system and then to purchase components and assemble it themselves

[HITSIG @HITSIGVCU]

more importantly, is the ability to improve quality of life factors: i.e. reduce common burdens, ability to sleep, and improving symptoms.

[HITSIG @HITSIGVCU]

In general, this technology has the potential and has shown to be successful in people with a wide variety of A1cs

[HITSIG @HITSIGVCU]

the average APS participant A1c suggests these were folks who were pretty self-efficient. How generalizable is APS to a broader population?

[HITSIG @HITSIGVCU]

Most people with type II don't require the continuous pump; however, in the rare cases they did, it could be a useful tool.

[HITSIG @HITSIGVCU]

This may be a bit in the future, but are there applications for this in DM type 2?
