Mohamed researches diabetes due to a family history of suffering from the disease.[12] His father, mother and brother are diabetics and his concern for the growing number of diabetics worldwide prompted his invention. He developed a remote monitoring and control system for diabetes symptoms.[5] He set about creating an artificial pancreas[clarification needed] and a remote system to monitor the stability of glucose levels in diabetics.
