Menarini Kids, Technological Education for Children with Diabetes

A.menarini Diagnostics In collaboration with the AI2 Institute of the Valencia University University of Valencia, they have organized for next Saturday, October 15 in Valencia, the Menarini Kids an attractive educational day in diabetes for children and parents, in which the basis of activitiesIt will be technology.

The day will take place on Saturday morning for about 50 families and will be divided into 4 very interactive and personalized workshops, in which children will be the protagonists, will have a great time and learn to reinforce knowledge about diabetes with their parents.

Andy a robot with diabetes

The first workshop of Menarini Kids will have as the protagonist a humanoid robot.Andy, who has been baptized by its programmers, is the first robot with diabetes in Spain.Inside it has incorporated a simulator that informs its virtual blood glymia in real time.

Andy will share with the children an activity in which he will explain what are the consequences of playing sports for diabetes control.Specifically, two main concepts will be transmitted.One, when exercising between meals, you have to measure half an hour before, and if the glucose is below 150 mg/dl you have to take a small food supply.And two, that if you exercise shortly after eating, you have to be foreseen and less insulin.

Technological simulators of the pancreas

Another of the activities that can be enjoyed at the Menarini Kids has to do with the simulators.The engineers of the AI2 Institute of the UPV, responsible for the development of the Spanish artificial pancreas, have developed a computer, interactive game whose objective is to teach how the body regulates glucose, which is the mission of each organ and how a person should do itWith diabetes, focusing on the calculation of insulin dose for a meal.

count carbohydrates with virtual reality

In the Menarini Kids virtual reality will be used to teach children to count carbohydrates.Through an application for mobile devices developed entirely by engineers of the Valencia Politècnica University, children can project their tablets on an empty dish, and in them a series of foods will appear with their glycemic load and the amount of carbohydrates they contain.The application is focused on a meal as important as children's breakfast and is conceived as a game in which the ultimate goal is to learn to compose a healthy breakfast, according to the needs of a child with diabetes.

social diabetes and mobile app

The fourth workshop of the Menarini Kids will have as its main axis the mobile applications and more specifically how the integration between the social app and glucometers works.Information that can be consulted in real time from several mobile devices connected to that cloud.The Victor Bautista workshop, creator of Social Diabetes, will serve to solve all those doubts that the application can generate to the attendees.

The first edition of the Menarini Kids will conclude with a motivational workshop for the audience by astronaut Josu Feijoo and a series of unique coexistence activities.Undoubtedly, an educational, fun and technological day that we will follow very closely.
