  • Life within the Loop: Biosocial Expertise in Diabetes Care and Technology

How is diabetes care changing with the rise of algorithmic systems, open-source software, and patient-led innovation? And how do these changes reshape biosocial relations—between bodies, data, and technologies—in everyday healthcare?

The event brings together experts, medical and social sciences students and people living with diabetes to discuss how new digital tools reconfigure expertise, responsibility, and collaboration in diabetes care. In her keynote lecture, prof. Henriette Langstrup (University of Copenhagen) will draw on her research on the #wearenotwaiting community and open-source insulin delivery systems to explore what it takes to cultivate more generous human–algorithmic relations in healthcare.

The keynote will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Jana Urbanová (Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University), Miloš Kozák (AndroidAPS), and Sabina Vassileva (Institute of Sociology, Czech Academy of Sciences), moderated by Jan Gojda (Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University).

The event is supported by the Strategy AV21 research program AI: Artificial Intelligence for Science and Society.
