This app is targeted towards people who live with diabetes. Their bodies either lack or underproduce an essential hormone called insulin which helps glucose enter the cells in the body. Without insulin, the glucose stays in the bloodstream, causing high blood sugar levels which damage their bodies. Usually, people use external insulin by injecting it into their bodies. One of the most difficult challenges they face is giving themselves accurate insulin amounts. The standard way used by people is carb-related calculations to generate an insulin dosage amount. This is often a hassle and can be very time-consuming.
Type1 will use artifical intelligence to train itself based on meal pictures taken by the user. After the first few snapshot of a dish, Type1 will recognize the food and deliver an insulin dosage based on personal insulin to carb ratio and current glucose levels. A single snapshot of your meal delivers your insulin dosage so that you don’t have to sit around calculating your carbs.
Valuing your privacy, we take minimal data upon account creation. Just age and weight helps us get an estimate of your insulin to carb ratio which we then use to help get a dosage based on what you eat. Without asking for carbohydrates, we have only a few simple entries required which include blood sugar level and previous estimated insulin dosage for the first time you eat a new meal. This helps us maintain simplicity and offer you the most simple and fast way possible to get your insulin dosage.
