The DCB – An Internationally Recognised Centre for Diabetes Technology
The DCB has made significant achievements in meeting the 5-year goals. The holocratic structure, in which the individual teams are responsible for their own work and projects and are given the corresponding freedom, has helped a great deal.
The ongoing support from the board of directors and from Willy Michel as the benefactor has allowed the DCB to further advance their development.
The DCB is now collaborating with around 100 start-ups from more than 30 countries. This number demonstrates that the Diabetes Center Berne has gained recognition beyond national borders and is being perceived internationally as a centre for diabetes technology.
Prof. Dr. Lilian Witthauer and her team in the field of Smart Sensing and Prof. Dr. José Garcia and his team in the field of Closed-Loop Systems have successfully established themselves and are working on specific projects to sustainably improve the lives of people with diabetes.
“The close collaboration with our associated research groups allows the DCB to actively promote and support the translation of research projects into user-oriented and market-oriented solutions.”
– Derek Brandt, CEO
