Determining The Appropriate Nutritional Solution This application should be able to tell the user the most appropriate nutritional solution to their dilemma. This is to aid people who are faced with the situation of what to give a child who is suffering either hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. But, it will also be helpful for people who want to determine what they would need in a specific situation, i.e., they need to know what to eat for a sudden jolt of energy or energy to sustain for a long period of time. Ideally, this would be a phone application, but I will probably be creating a model for this either as an HTML or as a computer program. Susan Jacob
Sweet Dreams Aren’t Made With These So what do diabetics do to take care of themselves? How about when something goes wrong? I am trying to combine the state of the art technology and treatment systems of diabetes while coming up with my own solutions to create a treatment system for Type I diabetes better. Diabetes is all about control and I want to tighten that control to keep patients healthy. Katherine Bulman
Eclipse App This application will be part of a never before seen experience. I am planning to use eclipse, the programing language for android phones, to write an app that will be able to synchronize data and give a visible output to a user with diabetes. In theory this product would be used to extract the blood glucose level of a user from an add-on designed to work with the phone. The information, added either manually or through the use of the add-on, will be stored on the phone and presented in a data table. This information can also be sent to the doctor through the use of email so that he/she has the information at any time and can make more accurate decisions about the patient. Rishi Thakkar
Diabetes with Dr. Smartphone Smartphones are on the rise everywhere. Now, they are being used not only for things like browsing the internet and streaming videos but also for health care. In a revolutionary new movement called “mHealth” (mobile health), smartphone applications and attachments are being created with the same performance levels as high-end medical equipment. Most of the existing prototypes have yet to be approved by the FDA. Logbook applications for diabetic patients exist, but there is no device currently in the market that reads a test strip, interprets it, displays the data in an application, and sends the information directly to the doctor’s office. Through this project, I hope to learn about microprocessors and design the schematics for this kind of smartphone attachment. Soumya Vhasure
