Let's not fool ourselves in thinking open source would solve this problem here And I'm glad the text agrees > It's hubris for activists to guarantee that harm would be prevented if Freestyle had publicly released the hardware specifications and the complete, corresponding source code (CCS). FOSS isn't immune to bugs — even dangerous ones > We also will probably never know whether this issue was in hardware or software That being said > Specifically, the bug caused the device to falsely report an extremely low glucose level Aren't people cross-checking this with how they're feeling? People on low glucose won't be feeling normal. If you really had an abnormally low reading maybe double check with a strip meter and calibrate with how you feel Medical devices are hard. There are hundreds of variables causing variations in measurement > As a public policy and public health matter, the public deserves to know the technical details (software and hardware) of both the functioning device and the failed device Yes. 100% this (I'm all for OSS for reading calibrated data and processing it the way you prefer of course)
