<p>[Princeton</a> University - Undergrad wins $100,000 to expand iPhone app for diabetics](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S25/10/88K09/index.xml?section=featured]Princeton”>http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S25/10/88K09/index.xml?section=featured)</p>
<p>"After watching diabetic friends and family members struggle to keep track of their food consumption, blood sugar and insulin intake, Matthew Connor knew there had to be a better way.</p>
<p>Then it dawned on him: Most people nowadays carry mobile phones.</p>
<p>And more and more those phones are tiny computers that can store information and connect to the Internet.</p>
<p>With that in mind, Connor ['11], a rising Princeton junior majoring in operations research and financial engineering, worked with his brother Michael, a 2007 graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, to develop an iPhone application to help diabetics manage their disease.</p>
<p>Now, Connor has been awarded a $100,000 grant to expand their initial application into a Web-based tool to help diabetics stay healthy, and make it easier for doctors to monitor diabetic patients and for researchers to study treatments for the disease. . . . (continued)</p>
