Design and Development of a Simulating Prototype Cost Effective Insulin Management System

Mohsen Ahmadi, Neda Hajizadeh

Abstract :

Diabetes is a major worldwide health concern. Insulin pump is used to mimic the human pancreas by delivering short–acting insulin at varying rates as a Basal dose to control glucose levels continuously. It can also deliver Bolus doses to control glucose levels around meal times or to correct high blood glucose level. Current insulin pumps are still expensive and not available to most diabetes patients in many countries. The aim of this work is to design, develop and construct a robust and inexpensive simulating prototype insulin management system. The technologies used in the construction of insulin pumps are sophisticated and include delicate electromechanical components as well as artificial intelligence. The device will have full capability to maintain various functions at all times including that of insulin delivery program and a whole host of other features that will make the management of diabetes a lot easier. The knowhow can be used in the manufacture of systems with great dosing accuracy, ease of use and lifestyle flexibility for diabetes patients at a very low cost.
