Daniel Fine noticed an extremely pertinent problem that hit him very close to home. When he was 11, he watched as his 7-year-old brother Jake was diagnosed with diabetes. His heart broke as he watched his brother struggle cope with the disease at a young age, constantly having to estimate nutritional information and calculate proper insulin dosages. Fine noticed that the proper insulin dosages were often miscalculated, which could have dire consequences. Initially, he created a non-profit organization called “Team Brotherly Love” to “save lives and find a cure.” The non-profit flourished and has raised nearly 1.9 million dollars.
After watching his brother struggle for years with estimation and calculation, Fine noticed a friend take too much insulin at a restaurant after miscalculating the amount of calories in his food. To combat the issues his brother shared with millions of people around the world, Fine created Dosed to eliminate estimating and human math out of the equation to minimize the risk of human error. This mobile solution offers a completely new angle on dealing with and living with diabetes.
Fine offers a fresh new take on a problem that has plagued humans for a long, long time. His idea not only helps his brother, but millions of other people that face a similar struggle. His idea proves to be innovative and helpful. Hopefully, his solution will continue to provide help for diabetics in years to come.
It is great that Fine was able to take something so personal to his life and create something that can help those who live life with diabetes. An impressive trait of entrepreneurs that Fine possess was that he didn’t stop after making a nonprofit that gained millions, he continued to look for ways to help diabetics.
This is a great idea that has helped millions of people. I have faced similar situations that Fine faced with my dad who also has diabetes. It is amazing that he found a solution to making a terrible disease more manageable.
I think that it is really inspirational that Fine was able to solve a problem that hit him within his own family. I did not know that the calculation process for the amount of insulin a patient is supposed to take is that complex. I wander how he was able to create something that was able to solve this problem so easily.
Daniel’s story is a great example of creative and innovative thinking that provided an awesome application for many people. His ideas will be so helpful to so many people and that is what entrepreneurship is all about; solving problems in unique ways. His innovative thinking is very inspiring and excites me to pursue my own innovations.
The intersection of his personal story and a universal issue seen here and the solution he came up with is incredible. It is true that the miscalculation of dosage can lead to huge issues. I think it is incredible that he created something that meets such a need, but something that is also available to the masses. This could change the face of diabetes and coping with the disease.
I like that Fine created a business that focused on helping others. Team Brotherly Love was formed out of this venture and has raised $1.9 Million for diabetes research. It’s also crazy that Fine did this all before age 24!
