Artificial intelligence serving patients. HAS Argiésansa 4-year-old child, Côme, received a little magical box. An insulin pump, which allows him to regulate his diabetes like tens of thousands of other diabetics like him. Except that his works thanks to AI, which records his body’s reactions, and improves his program every day thanks to this information. This technology, still very rare in Francechanges the daily life of the little boy and his parents.
All his illness on a screen
Como has two devices on him at all times. A sensoron the arm, which measures your sugar level. A small pumpon the belt, who injects him with insulin. For a diabetic type 1 (the most restrictive), this equipment is usual. The new thing is that everything goes through a smartphonein the hands of his father Vincent. “Having complete management of your diabetes on a single screen means less mental burden”testifies the dad. “Everything is managed entirely by phone, so there is almost no more manipulation at the pump, everything is managed by AI”. Under the supervision of parents, obviously, Vincent being diabetic himself, like his two sons.

Only the mother, Jéromine, is spared by the diseasebut she also notes the interest of this technology : “he has much less hyperglycemia, much less hypoglycemia [ndlr : l’excès ou le manque de sucre dans l’organisme]and we know that over time there will be fewer and fewer of them. Not all of them will be prevented, but he will be able to live a little more normally, and we will be a little less worried because we know that the AI manages on a daily basis.”
Knowledge to acquire and share
The advantage of having three diabetics in the family, it is that the big brother can test the device that his little brother, Albin, will perhaps use later. “He will be able to benefit from it immediately by skipping all the stages that we have already experienced with our first son”declares Vincent. In fact, it is necessary to formation long enough to use this tool, set it up in conjunction with the hospitaland re-approve every two years.
As it is not always easy to s’informer on these devices, the small family shares its dailysometimes out of step with the hospital standard, on the social networks Tik Tok et Instagram. “Very regularly, every week, we have messages from mothers or fathers who are in the hospital and who have just discovered their children’s diabetes”says Vincent, “they tell us “I’m looking at your page, thank you, I feel less alone”.”
