@Jazzsethi95 Open source looping for the win.

[Jazz Sethi @Jazzsethi95]

Had a fun Diwali get together yesterday and had to take a small correction dose.

I LOVE how you can #bolus from the Apple Watch with DIY Loop. Easy and so cool! Love this tech!

Ignore my friends 😂♥️

5 reasons why closed loop for diabetes is life changing 🧵

[Isaac Kohane @zakkohane]

An indirect but consequential aspect of throwing AI at healthcare: it permits making explicit considerations in decisions previously implicit and opaque. For example: "Why did you bill more for patient A compared to patient B?" The answers can inform policy (and/or motivate some LLM builders to steer/align them to obfuscating explanations).

@RenzaS Trustworthy because it’s open source. Everyone has equal opportunity to innovate and make it better. The innovation pipeline for making it fit into people lives should also be equitable and accessible.

@Tims_Pants Could be useful in hospital settings as a proxy for sepsis/infection.

NZ announces free CGM and pumps for all NZers with T1d. Huge moment for our small nation. Limited choice, but we’ll take it! AID for all!

@1derfultype @ATTDconf @Tims_Pants Sounds like Tim is on message again. :)

Dexcom CGM now available OTC! We are still only barely scratching the surface of the value of these devices to humanity.

@parthaskar @PHU_NHS Let's chat about how this impacts diabetes technology, data rights, and government funding for medical devices.

[Ben West @bewestisdoing]

@parthaskar @PHU_NHS Fun: I worked at Meraki implementing "bring your own device" networking policies for network operators, later acquired by Cisco for over $1bn. Since, I've worked on similar "BYOD" networking concepts relevant for insulin pumps and CGM. Nightscout and openaps are prime examples.
