[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1037678, member: 30007"] [USER=234780]@plandolfi[/USER] I don't want to rain on your parade, but there's a lot of prior art in the space. Have you seen [URL='http://www.nightscout.info/']Nightscout[/URL]? There are already a lot of people using this to remotely monitor their kids at school, and by giving the child a Pebble watch, the kid can see the data on their wrist. While it is not immediately designed for a child, it provides the same level of information. It uses the Dexcom G4 Sensor technology and if you build an [URL='http://www.nightscout.info/wiki/welcome/nightscout-with-xdrip-and-dexcom-share-wireless']xDrip[/URL] doesn't require a Dexcom receiver. Or you can use the [URL='http://www.dexcom.com/en-GB']DexCom G5[/URL], which will shortly be available on an Apple Watch. All of the data input to manage a child on MDI can be input via the CarePortal in NightScout. In addition, the majority of children are now encouraged on to pumps, which provides a much more flexible routine. Very few young children are on fixed insulin doses and therefore have specified eating times. Reviewing your PDF from a critical perspective, it looks as though the real innovation in this could be in packaging up the NightScout product and delivering a more child friendly monitoring product and software package. Personally, if I was to be doing this, that's the approach that I would take. If the intention is to package it all up into a watch receiver, to which the sensor will talk, consider the battery issue that plagues many smart watches now. Given what you are trying to do, you might want to consider a different way of getting the data to the network. I don't know who is assessing your project, so I can't say whether they would have knowledge of what is out there, but if they have any knowledge of the #WeAreNotWaiting movement, then I'm afraid that they may see this as copying that, so I would reference it up front and consider how I might address it in my concept. I'm happy to have a chat with you about this, in a private chat if you want it. [/QUOTE]
