Your project is very technical and useful. Consider exploring quantified self-aspects, materials, and designs related to health, self-care, and beauty. Explore the idea of having a main electronic part with various strap designs. Think about the future of SugaWave—will it be a collaborative platform, open-source hardware, or a commercial product? |
Less text per slide. Look at the DIY glycometer and try following some tutorials next week. |

The project is very important! Could stress be minimized by using color indicators? For example, green for good levels, orange for borderline levels—so users can move forward without stressing over details. |
Consider redesigning the device to be more portable. Try incorporating 3D-printed parametric parts—perhaps a new shell? Also, if you can access an app that reads glucose data, you could transform it into something more tangible. Google Play Diabetes Monitoring App |

The story behind your project is well-presented! For the final presentation, consider adding photos or videos to help the audience empathize with people who must prick their skin for glucose monitoring. The AI concept and prototype are well-executed—try integrating them into a cool wearable device. Keep going! 🚀😊 |

Making the device as small as a ring is a great challenge. Does it really need to be that small? Since Fabricademy focuses on textiles, consider a fashionable wearable instead—a scarf, bracelet, or bangle—to make it more realistic to achieve. A bracelet or bangle would also allow more space for electronics and battery. |
Audrey suggested materials like metal or wood—they could form part of the device. Material Inspiration: Wooden Bangles on Pinterest | Patterned Wooden Bangle | Wooden Bracelet Design |

Your project has a lot of potential! Consider expanding on how users interact with it daily. A seamless experience could encourage adoption. Could haptic feedback or other sensory cues be integrated? |
Investigate how wearables in the quantified self-movement enhance user experience. Consider smart materials for dynamic visual feedback. |

Think about user ergonomics. A device that is too bulky may discourage long-term wear. Striking a balance between function and form is key. Could modularity be an option? |
Check out modular wearables like Fitbit and Apple Watch bands for inspiration. |
