<p>This research explores how Pacific and contemporary cultures cohesively blend through 3D printing to create a new identity for Pacific people. The project seeks to further the development of concerning issues surrounding Identity and diabetes within Pacific communities. Foreign preconceptions about the Pacific are been challenged here to create a new identity about the Pacific from a Pacific perspective. The extraction of these Pacific motifs will be explored through a Design realm, 3D printing, which contribute to the development of a contemporary Pacific.  The project seeks to explore the effects of type 1 diabetes on adolescents. In particular, with the managing and storage of their diabetic equipment’s while outside of home care. Pressures of adolescent years is added when diabetes is present, which can cause physiological disadvantages. Bike riding will be the scenario of choice, where storage kits for bikes are 3D printed. Pacific patterning is encouraged to help with the 3D printing process, the familiarity of Pacific patterning is to inspire my Pacific people in becoming active with diabetes. Participants will be used in this research to gain feedback and further the design, giving them a sense of autonomy through unique storage kits, portraying their identity.  Inspiration is drawn from my heritage, which is explored through my contemporary environment (Design), to portray my identity as a Pacific designer. This is evident throughout my experimentation whereas the incorporation of Pacific patterning and themes influence the final design.</p>

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic illness that affects millions of people. People with type 1 diabetes regularly collect multidimensional data which they use to improve their well-being. Such data often includes blood glucose levels, insulin administration, diet, and physical activity. Monitoring and analysis tools for diabetes care often include information visualizations to help people make sense of this complex data. However, we have only an incomplete understanding of the visualization design approaches used or any justifications for the final design. To address this gap, we surveyed 21 diabetes data analysis tools which use visualization. From this, we derived a design space that consists of data, views, and strategies. We also provide design considerations for future researchers, tool designers, and developers.

BackgroundWe report a case of using 3D printing to create a bespoke eye cover for an 18-year-old man with left maxillary alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Further, the patient had proptosis causing chemosis and subsequent conjunctival abrasions. This had been managed by taping a large dressing around the eye for a number of weeks previously.MethodsA 3D scanner was used to capture the surface topography of the patients face. The data were imported into a CAD package and used as a guide to create a bespoke eye cover. The final design was 3D printed in a biocompatible material for use by the patient.ResultsThe scan, modelling, and printing of the bespoke cover was completed successfully in less than 72 hours.Conclusion3D printing offers a method to create bespoke solutions for patients in palliative care to meet rare and difficult clinical challenges.
