Mentoring and Interactive Explanations in Diabetes

How can technology support young people with diabetes? Nine students from the Diabetes Design Initiative tackled this question this winter quarter. On Wednesday, the two teams presented their final designs to over 30 stakeholders ranging from medical device manufacturers to designers and people with diabetes. The students presented Glu-close buddies: a platform to connect young people with diabetes and Learn Diabetes: an interactive platform to explain diabetes concepts visually.

Fall Presentations: Designing For Empathy

Remote

On Wednesday, 12 students presented three projects to stakeholders from the industry, diabetes community, design experts, diabetes educators and healthcare providers. Each group demonstrated how we can design for empathy in teaching, connecting and data sharing. Stakeholders were impressed by the depth and quality of the presented work.
