Experiencing a sugar, or glucose, crash while driving can be very dangerous for both the driver and others on the road. In order to minimize the danger of such a scenario, Medtronic Diabetes has developed a new M-POWERED car that constantly monitors the driver’s blood sugar levels. A glucose crash is when a diabetic person’s blood sugar levels plummet from numbers like 120 to 60 mg/dl within a matter of seconds. Unveiled at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) scientific session at Moscone Center in San Francisco on June 6-10, the Lincoln sedan is equipped with a system that “wirelessly incorporates a patient’s continuous glucose monitor with a dashboard” to ensure driving safety. According to the company’s press release, “The M-POWERED concept car would allow a person with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device to receive readings of their blood sugar through both audio and visual cues from the car’s dashboard.” References: medgadgetFiled In: |

M-Powered Concept Car was presented at the 68th Annual Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association. As of the moment, there is no update yet regarding the availability of the system. But the people behind the project are hopeful that by the time it gets out in the market, the car will have more useful elements to offer. |
