OpenDiabetic

The hive does the work.
Your records stay home.

OpenDiabetic is donated compute that earns for the people it serves — a federated hive of rigs that does the heavy lifting so a diabetic's records never have to leave their own home. Free to the people. Funded by the compute. Every dollar on a public ledger.

The firewall — two halves, one wall

Diabetes is a 24/7 job. We built the tools to carry it — without ever taking your data. OpenDiabetic and LocalDiabetic have opposite invariants, and that opposition is the whole design.

🐝 OpenDiabetic — the hive

Donated & owned compute. Fine-tunes the open models, hosts them, earns income renting to research and business.

Records never enter the compute.

🤝 LocalDiabetic — the healers

A private vault in your own home. Reminders to your phone & watch, an on-box AI that organizes your records and preps your doctor visits.

Records never leave the box.

Not a policy. Enforced in code: every job carries phi_touched: false, a patient record is physically refused at the boundary, and the chain is tamper-evident.

Charity burns the dollar. We plant it.

Ordinary charity

$100 in → ~$15 reaches the need → the rest is gone → back to begging.

~$15given, once

The OpenDiabetic endowment

$100 buys a GPU → it earns on the marketplace → net recycles into free gives → the GPU keeps working, then recycles to next-gen.

~$300+given, and the asset lives on

Not a warehouse — a hive. Donors host their own rigs at home; we route the work. Vendors fulfill needs in-kind. Every gift, every dollar earned, every give and every job is a receipt anyone can recompute in their own browser at diabeticledger.com.

This isn't a deck. It's live today.

Running on real hardware right now — most of it on the founder's own box, for the founder, who is himself a Type 1 diabetic.

The Vault + the Nudge

A private records vault on a home NAS, pushing 24/7 reminders — meds, foot checks, appointments — to an iPhone over the member's own sovereign domain. Plus a family safety net.

The Hive + an edge worker

A node registry, a hash-chained compute ledger, and a Jetson edge box leasing jobs autonomously — the firewall refusing any record at the boundary.

On-box AI

An open model on the edge organizes the vault and preps real doctor-visit questions — without ever calling the cloud. PHI never leaves home.

Give people what they need — not what you have.

The compute earns; the net comes back to the people, free of charge, no strings.

Ways to give

Cash, compute, or a device — every form works, and every one is planted, not burned.

💵 Cash

We buy exactly what a member needs — or a rig that earns for years to fund more gives.

🖥️ Compute

Donate a GPU; it goes on the marketplace as a real worker and funds the give-engine.

⌚ A device

An Apple Watch, an iPhone, a NAS — shipped to a member who needs it this week.

🐝 Host a rig

Keep your GPU at home and let us route open work to it. The firewall keeps it safe.
