Glucose tracking for Type 1 and Type 2 individuals.
Through an ongoing mission help the diabetic community with a better solution to monitor blood sugar and track important health metrics, I created Gluca. An AI-powered diabetic tracking app that provides a powerful point of view of blood sugar and health.
Background
Current diabetic apps are dated in understanding the daily diabetic's journey from tracking, learning and paying attention to glucose and important health metrics on a daily basis. Most of these apps are also expensive for the lack of features but most people are left with no choice to use them due to device compatibility.
Gluca utilizes fitness data, food data, daily trends and real time changes from favourite third-party apps to give the best possible outlook of one's blood sugar. This data is used provide future forecasts, insightful summaries and FDA-compliant advice powered by AI to help users to stay in range easier, longer and let them live life to the fullest.
Gluca would not have been possible if it haven't been shaped the type 1 and type 2 diabetic community through conversations, calls, testing sessions that I've conducted. Gluca is truly a synthesis of what the diabetic tracking experience on a mobile phone should be today.
Painpoints
Outdated Interface
Diabetic management applications fail to present important informaiton in a novel way and deliver an experience that can be enjoyable and easy to use.
Tedious Logging Process
Planning food intake, bolus intake or exercise to accomodate for future glucose levels is an ongoing battle trying to live a regular life.
Missing Features
Exercise, eating habits and lifestyle changes are out of the picture on these applications, which are essential aspects managing diabetes.
