Lublin- A Micro-Liter Drug Delivery Infusion Pump

Abstract

Diabetes Type 1 community is growing in Pakistan and also in the whole world. People with this condition (diabetes type-1) require insulin (a hormone that helps regulate glucose levels in blood) to be injected externally because their pancreas fails to produce it. In modern world, diabetic community, primarily type 1, has adopted Automatic Insulin Injection System (AIIS) to inject insulin inside the body, but in Pakistan and the other third world countries, people still rely on uncomfortable syringe injections, as AIIS are not easily accessible in Pakistan and too expensive for an ordinary person. Therefore, we aim to develop an AIIS comprising wearable insulin injection system for precise delivery of insulin dosage and a hand-held device that will act as a controller for the wearable system. Our system would be able to interface with o the shelf glucose sensors. The readings from glucose sensor would be sent to hand-held device and user would be able to decide insulin requirements and send directions to wearable pump to provide required dosage. This precise and well-organized delivery will reduce complications i.e. Hyperglycemia (high blood Glucose) and improve lifestyle of diabetic community
