Chinese scientists unveil integrated mini artificial pancreas for diabetes care

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Scientists in China have developed a novel, coin-sized wearable device that integrates both a glucose sensor and an insulin micropump. This all-in-one system aims to function as a mini artificial pancreas for diabetes management, offering a more patient-friendly approach than current multi-patch systems. The prototype, developed by researchers from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, has been detailed in the journal Microsystems & Nanoengineering and has undergone initial testing on mice.
