Solving diabetes in 2019 with an Open Source Artificial Pancreas

on YouTube ↗48m

" summary

Claim: a 24/7 open source artificial pancreas assembled from off‑the‑shelf parts actually runs and keeps glucose mostly in range. Hardware: Dexcom CGM, Medtronic pump (firmware hacked via software‑defined radio) and a RileyLink Bluetooth bridge or Raspberry Pi Zero. Software: OpenAPS / LoopKit algorithms, remote viewing with Nightscout, data archived to Tidepool. Sensor life ~7 days, pump battery ~111 days, community ships four‑to‑five AP implementations, and at least one user reports continuous closed‑loop use for multiple years.
