New AI Tools Improve Diabetes Management and Intersection Safety
TechNet's June 2025 update highlights how IBM and Roche are using AI to predict blood sugar trends, while Obvio deploys AI-powered cameras to catch dangerous drivers at hazardous intersections.
TechNet's June 2025 "AI in Action" report highlights how artificial intelligence is actively solving real-world challenges across multiple sectors. The update focuses on two primary examples where AI is currently improving everyday health decisions and increasing public safety on the roads.
IBM and Roche unveil the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app, which utilizes AI to forecast blood sugar trends up to two hours in advance. The application works alongside a continuous glucose monitor to provide predictive alerts for hypoglycemic events and overnight risks, empowering diabetes patients to proactively adjust their meals, insulin, and physical activity.
Meanwhile, California-based startup Obvio deploys AI-driven, solar-powered cameras at hazardous intersections to identify and deter dangerous driving behaviors. The system detects severe infractions like speeding, illegal turns, crosswalk violations, and distracted driving, demonstrating another practical way AI technology is actively keeping communities safe.
