Why join the community?
In recent years, several open source projects have been published as part of research projects or driven by private initiatives. It is part of our mission to help ensure that available technology reaches and serves people with diabetes. By connecting the different stakeholders and creating a community, we want to leverage synergies and help to ensure that the numerous existing ideas are implemented as quickly and effectively as possible and contribute to medical care or scientific progress.
In that spirit, virtual gatherings have taken place starting in December 2022. Meanwhile, a Discord server has been established to easy communication and foster the exchange between the members of this growing community.
If you want to join the Discord server and stay up to date, please visit the following link: https://discord.gg/rsmKgqzmtz
