I hope the various device and software manufacturers currently in the diabetes market — and others outside of it — take note of the creativity in the community.

First, I really loved the entries. I’m excited to see Logs for Life later this summer. It seems like a thoughtfully designed site from the screenshots.

Second, Amy, I think you did a fantastic job with this contest and it will only grow from here. I really look forward to seeing next year’s competition. My only suggestion is to announce it at the beginning of 2009 and allow a full five months for submissions. This would give you more time to promote it and the entrants more time to develop their proposals.

Good stuff all around!

Congrats to all the entrants, and to the winners! Most praiseworthy of all is Amy’s initiative in launching this initiative.

I hope the various device and software manufacturers currently in the diabetes market — and others outside of it — take note of the creativity in the community. Perhaps the folks at IDEO would like to launch a “crowdsourced” website for diabetes innovation, as a side project? Maybe a venture capital firm — like the one that’s investing $100M in iPhone applications — would be interested in some corporate philanthropy mixed with investment possibilities and sponsor the site as a year-round virtual think tank.

The first step in making new technology to serve human needs is to dream it. Thanks again, Amy, for helping everyone see the dreams.
