Tidepool – open source diabetes software makes diabetes software more accessible, but also their employee handbooks and kanban boards

tidepool

Tidepool’s diabetes management software is an open source platform, free for both clinicians and people impacted by diabetes. And, because the company is a non-profit, it also operates according to the transparency rules that govern 501(c)(3) organizations.

Tidepool has developed an ecosystem of products that integrate diabetes data from over 60 different insulin pumps, blood glucose meters, and continuous glucose monitors into a single, intuitive user interface. People with diabetes, their care teams, and clinicians can view and analyse data, then discuss potential treatment adjustments.

Tidepool’s employee handbook is available for others to use or even copy as a start for their own operations. Likewise, its kanban boards used to manage project tasks are publicly available. If someone in the diabetes or development community wanted to see what was happening in an upcoming sprint, they could dig in and follow a task from assessment and development, to review and testing, all the way through to approval and deployment.
