How a Geek Dad Is Helping His Daughter Manage Her Diabetes
Days after learning that his daughter had Type 1 diabetes, engineer Todd Sharp began building Insulin Helper to monitor her health. He’ll demo the app in a keynote at Oracle Code One at San Francisco’s Moscone Center on September 17.
Making cloud tech tangible is what experts such as Sharp do. I recently visited with other experience engineers at Oracle’s Santa Clara campus as they worked on demos that they’ll show off in the Groundbreakers Hub at Code One.
“I hope it doesn’t start smoking when we plug it in,” open source advocate Blaine Carter jokes. He’s talking about a cluster of 1,024 Raspberry Pi devices, or 4,096 1 GHz processors. “It’s not superfast, but you can do a lot of things in parallel,” explains experience engineer Chris Bensen. Carter and Bensen have been running 3D printers overtime to create the framework for the cluster, which will create a user-generated photo display.
It takes quite a corps to create these demos—we can’t wait to see them in action next week!
