Abstract Background: Understanding the extent and causes of suboptimal insulin dosing is key for the coordinated diabetes management. Integrating the benefits of monitoring, education, and clinical support can facilitate self-care among people with diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study presents the technical aspects and performance tests on Tempo Pen, a new connection-enabled insulin pen available for Humalog (insulin lispro), Basaglar/Abasaglar (insulin glargine), and Lyumjev (ultra-rapid lispro) U100 formulations. Tempo Pen, as part of the connected care system, work with the Tempo Smart ButtonTM (pending CE mark), which captures insulin dosing information and transmits it to mobile applications to display. The Tempo device (Tempo Pen + Tempo Smart ButtonTM) can track the date, time of day, insulin dose, and type of insulin accurately. Results: The pen met the ISO 11608-1:2014 requirements for dose accuracy at all doses and conditions tested, and all results were within the ISO specification limits. Tempo Smart ButtonTM has been found to be compatible with Tempo Pen, and met the acceptance criteria and target k-values for glide force, dose accuracy, and attachment/detachment force testing. It demonstrated >95% dose recording accuracy with 95% confidence, and also met requirements for data transfer after every injection. Battery life of Tempo Smart ButtonTM was found to be at least one year. Conclusions: Tempo device is the first connected system with a smart disposable pen. It accurately captures real-time insulin dosing information which can help patients and healthcare professionals address suboptimal insulin management to reach the desired glycemic goal.

BACKGROUND: Few studies have investigated the variations in body composition and performance in Japanese collegiate American-football players. OBJECTIVE: To clarify what characterizes competitors at the highest levels – in the top division or on the starting lineup – we compared players’ body compositions and performance test results. METHODS: This study included 172 players. Each player’s body composition and performance (one-repetition maximum bench press, one-repetition maximum back squat, and vertical jump height) were measured; power was estimated from vertical jump height and body weight. Players were compared according to status (starter vs. non-starter), position (skill vs. linemen), and division (1 vs. 2). Regression analysis was performed to determine characteristics for being a starter. RESULTS: Players in higher divisions and who were starters were stronger and had more power, greater body size, and better performance test results. Players in skill positions were relatively stronger than those in linemen positions. Vertical jump height was a significant predictor of being a starter in Division 1. CONCLUSION: Power and vertical jump may be a deciding factor for playing as a starter or in a higher division.

The use of express lanes (ELs) in freeway traffic management has seen increasing popularity throughout the United States, particularly in Florida. These lanes aim at making the most efficient transportation system management and operations tool to provide a more reliable trip. An important component of ELs is the channelizing devices used to delineate the separation between the ELs and the general-purpose lane. With the upcoming changes to the FHWA Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, this study provided an opportunity to recommend changes affecting safety and efficiency on a nationwide level. It was important to understand the impacts on driver perception and performance in response to the color of the EL delineators. It was also valuable to understand the differences between demographics in responding to delineator colors under different driving conditions. The driving simulator was used to test the responses of several demographic groups to changes in marker color and driving conditions. Furthermore, participants were tested for several factors relevant to driving performance including visual and subjective responses to the changes in colors and driving conditions. Impacts on driver perception were observed via eye-tracking technology with changes to time of day, visibility, traffic density, roadway surface type, and, crucially, color of the delineating devices. The analyses concluded that white was the optimal and most significant color for notice of delineators across the majority of subjective and performance measures, followed by yellow, with black being the least desirable.
