Episode 212 with Uwe Diegel
LifeInABox is the world’s smallest refrigerator, designed for the safe transport of fragile medications such as insulin or growth hormones. There are in France 1,5 million people that are “prisoners” of their medication, because their medication must be maintained at a temperature between 2 and 8°C at all times. To these people, LifeInA gives the freedom to travel anywhere, anytime, with the peace of mind of knowing that their life-saving medication is kept at exactly the right temperature.
Connected to a Smartphone application, available in iOS and Android, LifeInABox is an essential tool for the better management of medication schedules, as well as the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes. The LifeInA app not only follows the temperature of the medications in real time, but also sends to the user reminders for his medication schedule so that he can better manage his condition.
Uwe Diegel (born 1965 in New Zealand), was a concert pianist until the age of 26. Following an accident that partially restricted movement in in right arm, he started a new career in medical diagnostics, quickly developing a particular interest in chronic diseases such as hypertension, asthma and diabetes. His intense scientific curiosity has led him not only to develop new technologies in these fields, but also to interest himself to field of medical manufacturing, industrial design and problems faced by Asian manufacturing concerns.
Uwe lives in Paris, France, where he runs HealthWorks Global, MedActiv International and LifeInA and does fundamental research in medical diagnostics. He is today considered to be a foremost expert in the field of blood pressure management, diabetes, asthma and in the manufacturing of medical diagnostics devices.

His drive and passion for innovative technology have driven major changes in perception about healthcare. He has driven the manufacturing of medical devices to new horizons by forcing new practices in manufacturing and innovation. An internationally recognized expert in the management of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, he is continuously looking for better solutions to improve outcomes for patients. He has for the last few years spearheaded the dissemination and acceptance of connected health as a tool for providing better solutions for patients.
