It’s hard to imagine the cognitive load for a caregiver with a child who has Type 1 diabetes. There are hundreds of decisions to make each day and none of them trivial. Technological advances have gone a long way to helping, but more often than not, they only contribute to the overwhelming amount of information caregivers have to process. Is there a way in which we can use technology to ease that burden rather than add to it? In this episode we talk to Dan Korelitz about his journey as a parent to find a better way to manage his son’s diabetes.TimestampsDan’s story (1:34)A tale of two Emmetts (4:20)A day in the life of a parent of a child with type 1 diabetes (5:11)The cognitive load of managing diabetes (7:46) Hacking an Alexa (10:08)How a finance background led to the app being created (14:05)What makes the Emmett app different (19:32)Key LinksEmmett Youtube VideoEmmett Skill DemoDan’s LinkedIn
