Five Great UT Ideas
Chemical engineering professor Adam Heller’s glucose monitoring technology that led to the Freestyle Navigator™ system of Abbott Diabetes Care was recently featured on the UT Austin homepage as a great UT invention worth knowing about.
Heller’s work was highlighted alongside four other Longhorn inventions including a 3-D printing machine, a revolutionary lithium-ion rechargeable battery, a safer Oxycontin painkiller and an Augmented Processing Table to allow archivists and curators to better share and process digital materials.
This story is part of the university’s “Eyes on Innovation” series, which explores UT’s world-changing ideas, fascinating discoveries and new ways of doing things.
