Realtime Healthcare: Applications for Real Life Needs - Diabetes Case Study

Type 1 Diabetes is a challenging, life-threatening disease. If you have it, life is fraught with constant monitoring, hundreds of daily decisions to make and the challenge of reconciling short-term health with long-term impacts. Doing this as a parent, with a young child with Type 1 Diabetes, has its own set of similar challenges, with the addition of being pained by the thought of your own child suffering. What does this have to do with PubNub? Well, one of our very own Product Managers is using our platform as a critical component of a real-time solution for helping his family manage this disease. Come learn about how real-time - from messaging to push to history to charting to chat to functions - can be brought to bear to help solve such a personal but mission-critical problem. Jeremy Pollock, Principal Product Manager of the PubNub core platform, will be discussing how he was able to quickly develop a lightweight, easy to maintain and run but powerful solution using PubNub and other open-source, Do-It-Yourself solutions.
