Ethics Case Study 1:

How can they improve diabetes care and outcomes for all. See the background for a full description of the discussion question. Discussion Question #1: From the outset, the research team was explicitly concerned about inequality in type 2 diabetes care and outcomes. Their aim was not just to improve to improve diabetes treatment in general, but to do so for all. How can they best achieve this? Might different users sometimes require different treatment protocols? Does the research team have a responsibility to single out users who are not receiving the full benefit of Charlies interventions for special attention and/or treatment?

Charlie is platform application which utilizes artificial intelligence technologies to make diabetic care easier, more holistic and more accessible. Taking advantage of smartwatches biosensors to test blood glucose through the skin, the apps algorithms calculate the optimal level and type of insulin for each user. Individuals still administer their own insulin injections, but Charlie makes the process more efficient and effective.
