Designing a More Proactive Continuous Glucose Monitor
Skills: UI/UX, App Development, Figma, Digital Health
Overview
Problem Statement
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have transformed diabetes management by providing real-time blood glucose data and reducing reliance on fingerstick testing (SMBG). However, barriers still exist. Users experience pain from needle insertion, emotional distress from “alarm fatigue,” and inconsistent physician adoption due to workflow challenges and patient compliance concerns (Stone et al., 2020).
Solution
CadenceHealth proposes a more proactive CGM system that minimizes patient discomfort and emotional fatigue while improving physician-patient data sharing. The concept emphasizes adaptive alert algorithms and a noninvasive or microinvasive sensor design to enhance usability and long-term adherence.
