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
