Open Source Cortisol Analytics (new project)
So there are a ton of companies working on different types of cortisol sensors. I signed up for a case study with one of the companies in California (not yet admitted) and I'm currently working on an open source project that will function as the data layer between a cortisol sensor and an intravenous cortisol delivery system.
The future plan for this technology (it doesn't exist yet, hence the alternative science tag) is for Addison's patients to have a Continuous Subcutaneous Hydrocortisone Infusion (CSHI), similar to how diabetes patients with an insulin pump today. This python library that I'm building is meant to help calculate and coordinate the micro dose of cortisol that Addison patients need during stress events to stay more even and have fewer cortisol spikes, thus improving out quality of life.
If anyone out there is into IT or wants to help contribute without any experience, my DMs are open. This project is still in its infancy. Here is the link to the GitHub repository.
