Episode 9 | How can data science improve the lives of people with diabetes? In her master’s thesis, Yasmine Mohamed explored whether everyday smartwatches can reliably detect hypoglycemia – and the results were surprisingly promising.
Supported by her supervisor, José Mancera, she pushed the project far beyond the boundaries of a typical thesis: from ethics approval and data collection to publication in a scientific journal.
00:11 – Motivation: Why Yasmine chose diabetes and her personal drive
05:26 – The Idea: Smartwatches as an alternative to medical-grade devices
08:15 – Challenges: Ethics approval, funding, and the long wait for data
12:09 – Breakthrough: First data, first insights, and the “Eureka moment”
15:21 – The Supervisor’s View: How José is guiding, not leading
19:18 – Results & Outlook: Smartwatches detecting hypoglycemia – and Yasmine’s next steps in research
