Ideal Medtech | https://idealmedtech.com | Senior Systems Engineer | Senior Software Engineer | Asheville, NC | Full-time | ONSITE preferred, FULLY REMOTE with the right skill set (USA only)
Ideal Medtech is a clinical stage medical device startup looking to control every feasible physiological parameter in the hospital -- starting with glucose. This technology has the potential to save tens of thousands of lives a year, billions of healthcare dollars, and thousands of nursing hours.
We're looking to hire a senior engineer with experience developing medical devices in the US or European Union. You'd be working directly with me, the technical founder, owning product development and documentation required for three Class II 510(k) submissions (pumps, control software, and maybe helping a strategic as needed with sensors). Some (but not all) standards you should be familiar with: 60601, 62304, FHIR
You would be working directly with a team at a contract manufacturer (CM), and would be involved in high-level technical decision making, software development, and helping the CM with documentation.
As an early hire, you'd have the option to take equity as part of your payment.
If any of the following skills describe you, feel free to send me an email (see profile):
- Medical Device Cybersecurity
- Firmware Development
- Formal Verification
- Physiological Closed-Loop Control
- Knowledge-Based Systems
- Reinforcement Learning
Please include your CV, salary expectations, timeline for hiring, and any open-source code you're proud of and would want to talk about!

Roman Hovorka (last author on the paper) has been working on this problem at Cambridge for the better part of 20 years! His was one of the first to see hospital use (through a partnership with BBraun) and also to employ the more advanced MPC techniques from chemical engineering.
Finally a thing I'm qualified to talk about! This is my area of expertise. The term "artificial pancreas" is a historical artefact of the original systems from the 1980s, which called anything that controlled blood sugar effectively an "artificial pancreas". These systems do not cover any of the hepatic or hormonal functions of the pancreas, just the malfunctioning islet cell part.
That being said, commoditization of a fully closed loop insulin delivery system would be a godsend for the millions of people living with completely uncontrolled diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes accounts for between 30-40% of raw healthcare spend every year, and it's growing. Primary care like this will keep patients adhering to it out of the hospital and improve their lives immeasurably.
So no, I wouldn't compare this to an insulin pump alone. It's like comparing the latest self driving cars out of Waymo to the cruise control on a 1994 Corolla.
The results (66% TIR 70-180mg/dL) aren't incredible, but believe it or not are far better than most diabetics are able to get. For reference, a person without diabetes will typically have numbers in the 95% or higher range.
We're currently finishing a study in the hospital to improve on these results in a big way!
This would put companies like Audm out of business, but it seems like they already only employ one voice actor for most gigs (ya gotta respect how much she gets done though!). I wish there was more work for professional voice actors, audiobooks done by the likes of Roy Dotrice are an absolutely fantastic ride
> At the point in time when you slice the domains you might not know all the product requirements. Probably a feature will arise which forces you to tangle two services together - now you have one domain. But distributed. Urgs.
Are there any architectures which would allow you to monolithize services like this? Changing product requirements sometimes mean you've just arrived at a better abstraction, which may need you to combine services directly.
Type 2 in many ways is a disease that comes from struggling with diet and exercise. There are many medically valid reasons for that to be so, but it still is necessary to try and address them as much as you are able if you're struggling with Type 2. It may save your life.
Biggest finding is that adversaries can easily allocate many IPs on public clouds. From this, automated traffic analysis can find what we call latent configurations (e.g., subdomain takeover) and exploit these. For instance you could allocate cloud IPs to collect SNS messages with PII to phish people, or receive passwords or data intended for other sites.
A post like this without Twitter in the title isn't nearly as provocative, and would probably have died in /new. It's because of the authors decision to scope out a Twitter clone that we're having this discussion!
