We've got a new white paper on our site. It's our technical vision for Tidepool, describing what we are doing to get out from under the current, proprietary information architecture and closed device software currently being used to manage diabetes.
The paper covers the architecture of our software stack and our first application, blip. It also addresses the key technical hurdles we need to overcome to restructure the entire ecosystem that surrounds diabetes data. The first issue we're solving is seamlessly and securely interacting with any configuration of cloud services. This functionality is built in as a core component of our software stack.
The second hurdle is overcoming the closed nature of device software. The paper identifies strategies for getting the data off of proprietary devices and into an open ecosystem taking into account the willingness of companies to share their data. The final issue the paper addresses is how to build a movement that is going to demand this technology.
