Medical use of Google Glass: equipped with sensors into blood glucose glasses

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, are loading a diabetes sensor on Google Glass and calling it "glucose glasses," so that people with diabetes don't have to draw blood or get a signal from a blood glucose meter, just lift their heads or pass With a few words in your voice, you can see your current blood sugar levels and trends, which sounds cool!

This concept was first proposed at the Stanford MedicineX conference in late September 2013 by Dr. Nate Heintzman of the Diabetes Information and Analysis Laboratory (DIAL) at the University of California, San Diego. The Nate team includes two famous professors: Todd Coleman (the author's foreign tutor, one of the founders of epidermal electronics) and Georgia Tech's Thad Starner and two Ph.D. The project was conducted by the University of California, San Diego, and the Georgia Institute of Technology, and was conducted in collaboration with scientists, engineers, doctors, and patients.

The DIAL lab at the University of California, San Diego, is dedicated to answering the basic questions of diabetes: "What causes blood sugar?", "How much attention does it need to invest in self-management?" and "Why my indicators are either high or low, I can What to do to avoid this?" According to Nate Heintzman, the laboratory uses different techniques to collect and analyze various diabetes-related data from medical devices , clinical laboratory values, and genetics to obtain behaviors and physiology that affect different blood glucose levels in different people. And the environment.

The introduction of the blood glucose glasses project is a logical extension of other research work and results that are being carried out. It is very fortunate to be a Google Glass developer and acquire this technology in advance. In addition, diabetic patients will also get great benefits, blood glucose glasses system. It is a new tool for scientific research, and it can also help individuals to provide better decision support, and hopes to even contribute to the development of closed-loop medical device technology, such as physical activity, stress and daily conditions in the case of diabetes. Daily life and so on.

Blood glucose glasses sound like a super gadget, but in fact there is such a mainstream need. Many people with diabetes today lament the need to bring different functions of handheld devices in different pockets. These devices generally have poor communication experience and do not have the ability to export useful format data, making it difficult to manage their diabetes. In addition, when traveling or exercising, it is very inconvenient to do CGM monitoring or use an insulin pump, and even check if these devices work properly! In short, it is very useful to get diabetes data in a “hands-free” way. If diabetes-related data can be displayed on a simple graphical snapshot, it will bring more convenience.

The research team is integrating data on a variety of diabetes, enabling diabetics to view "diabetes time cards" in chronological order through a simple Google Glass visualization application. The Diabetes Time Card is based on high-resolution images, including dynamic blood glucose monitoring CGM readings and trends, IOB (Insulin-On-Board), diet photos, and other physiological and activity measurements. In the APP, the user can issue a command to read the diabetes time card, or receive the notification message according to the prior configuration, or share the time card content with family, friends and caregivers via SMS or email.

At the MEDX meeting, Chris Snyder, a type 1 diabetes patient, took a google glass event and the data was connected to Dr. Larry Chu's Twitter account.

Currently, blood glucose glasses are still in the prototype design stage and are expected to be used first in type 1, type 2, MODY, LADA and gestational diabetes, as well as family members of diabetic patients or their caregivers. If someone wants to find a new diabetes data ecosystem that can achieve friendly interaction, then it must be blood glucose glasses. Google glass has been designed as a new resource for diabetic patients, and can also serve as a platform for scientific research. It is expected that the earliest project will conduct a public beta of blood glucose glasses in the spring of 2014. The goal is to simultaneously evaluate the user experience and the practicality of using the blood glucose glasses for the next generation of diabetes informatics research.
