Application/Key learning points: The Lyfebulb-Novo Nordisk Innovation Summit recognises and empowers international patient entrepreneurs with big ideas that shape the future of diabetes management. Amin Zayani, the Dutch founder and CEO of MedAngel, was the recipient of the 2017 Lyfebulb-Novo Nordisk Innovation Award. MedAngel’s first product is a Bluetooth-enabled, temperature-monitoring solution, which helps patients make sure they are storing temperature-sensitive medications, such as insulin, under the proper conditions. The company aims to educate patients about issues related to storing medications in their domestic refrigerators, and to empower individuals with affordable, accurate, and easy-to-use tools to reduce stress and increase medication safety. The Find Your Ditto mobile platform connects local people who have the same chronic condition (i.e. their “ditto”). Conditions include depression, diabetes, addictions, cancer, and heart disease, and the platform provides on-demand, in-person peer support to help patients cope.
