I have been trying to come up with an "after AP Exam" activity that will motivate all my students to think about software development in a positive way. I am going to have the AP students do some of the research for the cross platform. <\/p>\n
I’ve finally figured it out. <\/p>\n
An infusion set alarm. This is something that could be cross platform too. It could be written for the Palm Pilot and generate ToDo items. <\/p>\n
I want my ToDay screen to show me when I should change my infusion set. This is a program that should run on my mobile phone since<\/p>\n
a) it really should run on my pump, and alarm me on the pump, but since my pump doesn’t do that, and since I don’t have access to that software, the mobile phone is the next best thing, since it is almost always with me.<\/p>\n
b) running it on the desktop isn’t the greatest of options, because I something have to replace a set off schedule (comes off during dog agility, pull off accidently, etc.)<\/p>\n
There are two factors that influence how often an infusion set should be changed.<\/p>\n
1) Days. An infusion set should be changed at least everything 3 days, but this is a variable that the user should be able to change in the options menu.<\/p>\n
2) Amount of insulin. Most Type 1’s are not aware of this, but you can really only push about 300-400 units through a set before skin starts breaking down. At least that’s the way it works for me, and my CDE said "duh" when I mentioned it. Again, the user should be able to change this in the options menu.<\/p>\n
3) When a user indicates they have changed their set, the current open task should be marked complete. A new task should be generated using the first of the two above factors.<\/p>\n
Tasks:<\/p>\n
1) Research how to create a Task from Visual Basic\/WIndows Mobile<\/p>\n
2) Create a user interface<\/p>\n
3) Design algorithm.<\/p>\n
I am going to document my progress on the log and make what I write available to the Diabetes community.<\/p>\n
FYI: This application has all the things of a good software project:<\/p>\n
a) It satisfies a need<\/p>\n
b) It does not already exist. If it does, I haven’t hear of it which is a bit amazing. However, the Cozmo pump has this feature, I believe. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
