![]() ![]() Other topics include evaluation/validation research usage of such software, applying simulated blood glucose data for prototype training/validation, and other research uses of placing technical information on the Web. These range from learning about parameter interactions using simulated blood glucose data, to considerations of dietary assessments, developing new diabetes models, and performance monitoring of closed-loop insulin delivery devices. A wide variety of diabetes computing topics are addressed. Part 2 of this review highlights some more of the research projects that have made use of the AIDA diabetes simulation program to date. Also, in a number of cases research students who had sought advice about AIDA, and diabetes computing in general, provided copies of their research dissertations/theses upon the completion of their projects. ![]() As with Part 1 of the review (Diabetes Technol Ther 2003 5:425-438) relevant research work was identified in three main ways: (i) by personal (e-mail/written) communications from researchers, (ii) via the ISI Web of Science citation database to identify published articles which referred to AIDA-related papers, and (iii) via searches on the Internet. This review (the second of two parts) overviews research projects and ventures, undertaken for the most part by other research workers in the diabetes computing field, that have made use of the freeware AIDA program. Up to May 2003 well over 320,000 visits have been logged at the main AIDA Website-over 65,000 copies of the AIDA program have been downloaded free-of-charge. Since March/April 1996 it has been made freely available on the Internet as a noncommercial contribution to continuing diabetes education. AIDA is a computer program that permits the interactive simulation of insulin and glucose profiles for teaching, demonstration, and self-learning purposes. The purpose of this review is to describe research applications of the AIDA diabetes software simulator.
