Abstract
The system uses an open-source MEAN software development stack as well as Bootstrap components, supporting fast prototyping and multi-platform deployment. We follow agile software development methods and User Experience (UX) engineering which increase the quality of user-friendly interactive systems. Iterative and frequent lab-tests involving four type 1 diabetes patients were conducted in early design phases to detect and fix usability issues. Patients were asked to perform a set of tasks and to answer questions about their UX with the system. Late design phases included recorded remote user testing with ten patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Results The resulting system (https://goo. gl/8hF5cY) offers two interfaces. The patient's view includes a customizable dashboard; it provides a variety of tools aiming at the empowerment of diabetic patients. Among others, widgets allow to efficiently …
