The DiabetesMine™ Patient Voices Contest!

DiabetesMine is proud to announce a new program this year in our continued efforts to “push the envelope” on diabetes innovation.

We’re asking YOU, the empowered PWDs (people with diabetes) to tell us about your most pressing design needs.

All you have to do is create a 2-3 minute video testimonial about the biggest challenges you face in your diabetes care, and how you would present those concerns to experts.

** We’re looking for 10 good e-Patients… **

who can tell it like it is:

Explain the biggest challenges in life with diabetes

Describe what’s good and bad about current diabetes tools

Dream big about what the future could bring

Inspire designers & vendors to best serve PWDs and their caregivers

The DiabetesMine team will select 10 of the top entrants to win an “e-Patient Scholarship” to attend our 2012 DiabetesMine Innovation Summit at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA, on Nov. 16, 2012.

Our winners will act as “delegates” for the patient community, expressing our needs and desires to the Powers That Be: Pharma R&D and marketing executives, human interaction designers, entrepreneurs, physicians, regulatory experts, investors, health gaming developers, technology gurus and experts in mobile health platforms.

Each of our 10 winners will also receive an iBGStar Blood Glucose Monitoring System, the first meter to directly connect to an iPhone* or iPod touch*! This exciting new product has just been introduced to the market as of May 1, 2012.

Video entries will be accepted from May 1, 2012, until June 12, 2012.

Awards will be announced on June 27, 2012. Over the summer, we’d like to work with our winners and feature each of them individually on DiabetesMine.com.

All you have to do is give it some thought, and make a short video of yourself discussing patient needs.
