Libra sensor has revolutionised the way blood sugar is monitored by continuously monitoring blood sugar levels and sending readings directly to our phones-no finger pricks, no fiddly strips.
One major issue is the reliability of the alarms, as many users end up disabling them altogether because of their disruptive nature, especially while in a meeting or at the cinema.
The functionality of alarms depends heavily on the varying settings and hardware across different phone manufacturers, making it a challenging problem for the Libra team.
The Libra sensor lasts around 14 days, providing two notifications before the sensor runs out: one three days before and another an hour before, which often feels poorly timed.
A more practical approach would be a reminder timed for a moment of convenience, such as early in the morning before work or the night before.
The author has a vision for the Libra app to evolve from being a monitoring tool to a proactive assistant by not only tracking but actively supporting and empowering users in their daily lives.
This is critical for the users' safety, legality, and responsibility, highlighting how critical effective and timely notifications are for users.
