Getting diagnosed with a chronic disease is like being struck by lightning.

The tools I had were not perfect….
Insulin Pump Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)

Because this is what it takes to wake me up:
@DanaMLewis
Leaving me often with this:
@DanaMLewis
If we can’t change existing devices… what if we could add *new* tools?
@DanaMLewis
Enter open source (and social media).
@DanaMLewis
From reactive to predictive: an “open loop”

We already have in

OpenAPS “rig”

(insulin pump) (continuous glucose monitor)is an open and transparent effort to make safe and effective basic Artificial Pancreas System (APS) technology widely available to reduce the burden of Type 1 diabetes.

In 2016, we presented a self-reported
#2016ADA, and also published the study.
@DanaMLewis
There are now(n=1)*796+ people with DIY closed loops in the world. (That’s something like
hours of DIY closed loop experience.)

@DanaMLewis
Beware the patient syndrome trap:
What we knowWhat we think everyone else knows
Imposter syndrome:
What people think patients knowWhat people think ”professionals” know
What people think patients know:
HCPs researchers caregivers insurers pharma@DanaMLewis
med device co’s governmentWhat patients actually know:
Traditional innovation
@DanaMLewis
Traditional innovation User-driven innovation
@DanaMLewis
How might the world change if we leverage these collective innovations that happen every day?
@DanaMLewis
What happens when we enable patients to prioritize what we research and design solutions around?
@DanaMLewis
What happens when we surface and share data openly so anyone – regardless of “role”
improve things?
@DanaMLewis
What if we all say #WeAreNotWaiting to change the world like this?
@DanaMLewis
#WeAreNotWaiting
to change the future of healthcare. But we can do it faster, together.
Will you help us?
