At the same time, this is a really cool hobby project that someone interested in a future developing medical devices could try to replicate as they are learning.

I sure hope not.

This is an interesting personal project, but it is far from how medical devices should be (and are) developed. Where is the risk analysis, for example? Or the FMEA? Was the software developed under ISO 62304? Etc.

There's a lot of activity that happens in a regulated industry that is completely missing here, which is why I see this as a poor example.

Absolutely! The Pi is very valuable for exactly that. It's just that dosing yourself is a very serious matter, not a hobby.
