Update on Abbott

[Abbott Smith]

Abbott,
I'm pleased to see you well informed/equipped. I recently got an underskin heart rate monitor to analyse my atrial fibrilation. Science makes us bionic men
If you can get a hand on Martin Ford's book ''Rise of the robots'', I can only recommend it for the insight of the upcoming challenges.
Take care of your health.

We are Borg.

I've used a Continuous Glucose Monitor for the past 8 years. It uses a coated platinum wire that I embed under my skin connected to a small transmitter that clicks to it. This then communicates to a receiver in my pocket. My insulin pump also has a receiver. The CGM measures my interstitial glucose every 5 minutes...[]...The next major step will be closed loop systems and encapsulation systems which are both in advanced clinical trials.

There is an article in the last Popular Science about a DIY open-source project for a closed-loop system. But since it's not FDA cleared, they can't tell you exactly how to do it, but for the tech-minded, there's enough information that you could put it together yourself.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Interestingly the We're Not Waiting movement forced the FDA to prioritize sanctioned closed loop trials. The pieces for creating the DIY closed loop system are so functional that the FDA couldn't afford to ignore the system.

Thanks. You take care as well.

You could start your own company. Maybe call it Abbott Labs?
