DreaMed AI Helps Florida Woman Manage Type-1 Diabetes
Ashlynn Mills, a type-1 diabetes patient from Florida, was able to leverage a virtual clinic to manage her condition during the pandemic.
This global health crisis has brought a challenging time to the world when almost every move is limited, including hospital visits and check-ups.
Unfortunately, there is no endocrinologist within miles of Mills' town, and the clinic where she gets checked is two-and-a-half-hours away from home.
As a healthcare worker herself, she started to be involved in telemedicine when the COVID-19 began spreading.
Mills said most of the adult endocrinologists seem trapped "in the stone ages a little bit." She added, if her endocrinologist stops offering her telemedicine, she'd love for DreaMed to be the replacement for her current doctor. It would be nice, and she continued, "To do telemedicine and do not have to drive" for hours to be checked by a professional.
