From my experience Medtronic is a major part of the problem. They DO NOT facilitate any of this. They are driven by profit and excuses about why that can't help people living with T1D and blaming others for their problems (Mac, Java, FDA, systems too old, systems too new etc, etc, etc).

I would love to see all my data overlapped and aggregated in one place, but what I would love even more is to have all of my devices have access, and legal authority, to USE that data.<br /><br />I keep going back to what one of the speakers at MedtronicDAF said about open-sourcing and having devices talk to, and act upon, one another. If a meter talks to a pump (and that process has been FDA approved), the meter company can't just improve their test-strip without going through the whole meter-pump-interface-approval thing again, so all of these different manufacturers would need to synchronize when they launch new products. The details are kind of fuzzy, but it seemed like getting an open-standard for device-to-device communications was a non-starter.<br /><br />But at least for the purpose of collecting and displaying the data, it's a huge step from what we've got now.Scott Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259475635753627498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-7027621898888715072014-02-05T15:12:35.951-06:002014-02-05T15:12:35.951-06:00"What if you were no longer bound by propriet..."What if you were no longer bound by proprietary nonsense" <---sounds impossibly wonderful!<br /><br />Who is the person from the future with the informative, square watch?katyhttp://bigfootchildhavediabetes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-69744269033501570542014-02-05T14:38:53.086-06:002014-02-05T14:38:53.086-06:00You had me at "What if you could log into the...You had me at "What if you could log into the cloud and see your child's CGM graph, in real time - while they're away from home?" <br /><br />How incredible would that be?

I still wonder why OUR data isn't readily available via iOS or Android or whatever-else, so we can access it via our tablets or smartphones. Just makes sense, right?<br /><br />I'm headed to D.C. tomorrow for a conference on medical device interoperability. I hope to hear more encouraging news there.

Also the fact that open data exchange enables the potential for programmers & engineers to do things that no one is even talking about yet. This is all around great news, and bravo to Asante for going ahead now. Personally would love for Medtronic and Dexcom to talk.

One of the interesting aspects I learned from this was how Tidepool's mega-minds have created a workaround to the CGMs, so that they can pull the data from those devices regardless of whether MedT or Dex has actually agreed. Very interesting. Also exciting to see the push to create the FDA masterfile that will make this more of a meaningful change for everyone, regardless of what device might be used. Long overdue, but really glad to see industry making the moves to this and the FDA being open to it more.
