Dana Lewis has Type 1 diabetes, which means her pancreas doesn’t work the way it should: It doesn’t make the insulin she needs to survive.

So, she built a new one.

It’s not a biological organ. Lewis’ artificial pancreas system (APS) is an open-source computer system that monitors her blood sugar level and gives her body insulin as needed, building on the insulin pump and glucose monitor that she’s been using for years.

Now, Lewis is known as the founder of the open source APS and leads a community of DIY diabetes patients who are constantly innovating new technology to help manage the condition.

There are a ton of cool things people have done, are doing, and will do with the Intel Edison platform. Between Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Edison - you can pretty much do anything you can imagine.

I've yet to play with Edison. My son and I created a Retro Pi and have tinkered with Addafruit Audrino boards.
