I am involved in this, what i want to say is that openaps are not the best option anymore, and pumps of metronic are not required anymore, android app & other pumps what we use right now.
- DavideNL 8y agoWith the poor state of Android security at the moment (in a nutshell, Android 9 Pie was just released while the previous Oreo release is installed on only 12% of devices), i cannot imagine anyone would want to connect a device that "can easily kill you" to an Android phone. Most non-technical people using this DIY solution are probably not even aware of this...
- Gregoriy 8y agoThe way it works make in sort that it can't kill you easy at all, the system does not regulate bolus insulin which is without a limit, but a basal rate which is basically a rate of insulin distribution from slow to fast, even the fastest mode will not kill you, and if the system disconects for some reason pump uses a default average speed.
- DavideNL 8y ago> the system does not regulate bolus insulin which is without a limit I understand that but the issue remains; all a hacker would have to do is set basal rate to 100000% and then you have a "bolus that kills you". Call it basal or bolus, it doesn't matter. The pump just pushes out insulin, and the amount can be controlled if you can hack the system.
