Just was in a talk of Jennifer Doudna. Thank CRISPER will cure many cancers in about ten years is incredible. Too bad it will be too late for my parents, but still.
To answer your question: phones and medical devices are incredible. Due to my moms pancreatic cancer she is a diabetic now. Her fingers can't feel anything anymore due to all the piercing. But now she gets a new sensor on her arm and has continuous glucose readings. And she can apply that by herself. And I get warned if she has low sugar. This bus amazing.
Shootout to GlucoDataHandler, which does a better job than Abbott's own app.
I feel it. At this point I just want revenge on the cancer that got my mom.
Jennifer Doudna talks about it sooo well. Check out her episode on the Ezra Klein show (podcast). https://pca.st/episode/12135fc7-b935-4daa-92c9-8b998cafae37
Sorry about your parents.
Oh wow my mom actually got diagnosed as diabetic just a few months ago herself. That sounds like a really useful tool to have.
