wearable pancreas


The video is kind of cheesy, but this is a WEARABLE ARTIFICIAL PANCREAS! Called Pancreum,

The Pancreum wearable artificial pancreas system – called Genesis - can manage and effectively regulate the glucose level with limited (or without) input from the user. The system has five components: The PDA (Personal Diabetes Analyzer), the CoreMD, the GlucoWedge continuous glucose monitor, the BetaWedge insulin pump and the AlphaWedge glucagon pump. In addition, an ultra intelligent algorithm that resides in the PDA provides safe and reliable adjustments to the insulin and glucagon delivery


The vision is to develop a system that is capable of automatically avoiding hypoglycemia, affordable, safe, environmentally friendly, flexible and unobtrusive.
