Adaptive Computing for Diabetes

How can we create personalized support for people with Diabetes using mobile devices? In this episode, Dr Simon Harper talks about his work creating computer algorithms that monitor and adapt to people's behavior to provide them with personalized support to manage their Type I Diabetes. Dr Harper is a Professor in Computer Science at the University of Manchester. His work is centered on understanding, predicting and influencing a user's behavior in the real-world and through interfaces and information, while taking into account cognitive, behavioral, perceptual and technological factors. His contributions lie in the development of adaptive user models of extreme users and/or extreme environments.
