Glucose alerting system and improved durability for Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for kids

Develop a device that makes blood glucose status more clearly visible, understandable, and actionable for anyone supervising a young child with Type 1 Diabetes.

Project Overview

Studies show that a diagnosis of diabetes can become just as stressful for parents to monitor and understand as it is for the kids. This prototype should help relieve some of this stress by eliciting a visible and actionable signal to parents, which will convey whether treatment is needed or not.
