    A Silent Burden: Designing Better CGM Alerts with Sweet Dreams

    The Radian Podcast shares practical conversations with clinicians, founders, and operators re-architecting care. In this episode, Marwan Elwaraki, Co-founder and iOS developer of Sweet Dreams, joins host Maxwell Murray to share how a family-centric companion app can reduce alert overload without replacing first-party safety alerts. They discuss building an “invisible app” experience using Apple surfaces (Lock Screen, Live Activities/Dynamic Island, Apple Watch, CarPlay) so glucose is ambiently visible at a glance, plus touches like snooze from the lock screen, profile-based alerting (sleep/work/school), and lightweight caregiver pings/acknowledgements. The conversation ties to Radian’s CGM UX study (A Silent Burden), covering real-world signals of reduced burden (fewer app opens, lower alert thresholds), gaps like customizable haptics and watch-first data flows, and why open, developer-friendly data access would unlock safer, quieter care. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Links 🔗 https://www.weareradian.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/weareradian/ https://www.weareradian.com/cgm-study-alerts ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Huge thanks to Caleb Johnson at Speech Craft Audio for the production of this episode. https://www.speechcraftaudio.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/speech-craft-audio/
