Find Me On

TL;DR I'm a researcher professor working at the University of Manchester in the Department of Computer Science. I've been working in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D/T1DM) technology since 2018, specifically focusing on glucose and carbohydrate dosing (I'm leaving insulin dosing to the large corporations) and in-silico simulation as applied to the real world. The technology focuses an behavioural (digital) phenotyping assuming that we are habitual (or at least repetitive) and that there is a transitive relationship between blood glucose and behaviour.

All of my work is focused an trying to move research to technology in peoples hands as fast as possible which is why I have the Melontech startup for research prototypes, and an independent side project.

Before my work in T1DM I spent 25 years in accessibility research specifically around profound blindness and the World Wide Web, with some forays into Parkinson's Disease, Healthcare, and Visual Attention.

You can find out more about my Type 1 Diabetes and Web Accessibility work, including my Friday Night Experiments, or more about me, and what I biases I have.

-In Autumn 2018 my Granddaughter (then 16 months old) became a person with Type 1 Diabetes (T1DM). Why this autoimmune condition occurs is not really clearly understood at present. At that time I could see how my work could be useful in T1DM and so I pivoted away from my <pastwork and focused my entire research portfolio (except accessibility) to T1DM, recruiting 8 Doctoral Candidates (including an NHS clinician and NHS Dietitian), creating a multi-disciplinary team across the NHS, Diabetes UK, FBMH, and the Manchester Diabetes Institute; setting up a pipeline for this research by building a start-up in stage 3 with UoMInnovationFactory securing early funding for our initial pilots; and expanding grant income, via a Wellcome Trust Access to Expertise, with NIHR and MRC applicants slated for the end of this year and the beginning of next.
