Intelligent Wearable Insulin Pump System for Personalized Diabetes Management
Legal Citation
Summary of the Inventive Concept
An innovative wearable insulin pump system incorporating AI-powered dosing algorithms, real-time glucose monitoring, and personalized insulin delivery profiles, enabling optimal glucose control and improved quality of life for diabetes patients.
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent addressed the need for wearable insulin pumps, but limitations in dosing accuracy, user interface, and predictive capabilities remain. This new inventive concept tackles these limitations by integrating advanced technologies to provide a more effective, user-centric, and adaptive insulin delivery system.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The intelligent wearable insulin pump system comprises a transcutaneous patch pump with an integrated AI-powered dosing algorithm, a real-time glucose monitoring sensor, and a user interface for personalized insulin delivery profiles. The system adapts to the user's lifestyle and provides predictive insulin dosing recommendations. The patch pump features a micro-needle array for minimally invasive drug delivery, a piezoelectric actuator for precise dosing control, and a wireless communication module for real-time data transmission to a remote monitoring system. The system analyzes user data on meal intake, physical activity, and glucose levels using deep learning algorithms to identify patterns and correlations, generating personalized insulin dosing recommendations for optimal glucose control.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The new inventive concept introduces AI-powered dosing algorithms, real-time glucose monitoring, and personalized insulin delivery profiles, which are not present in the original patent. The integration of these advanced technologies enables a paradigm shift in wearable insulin pump systems, providing a more effective, user-centric, and adaptive insulin delivery system.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments could include variations in the AI-powered dosing algorithm, such as using different machine learning models or incorporating additional data sources. Other variations could include different types of sensors, such as continuous glucose monitoring or blood glucose meters, or alternative user interfaces, such as voice-controlled or augmented reality-based systems.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The intelligent wearable insulin pump system has significant commercial potential in the diabetes management market, with potential applications in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings. The system could be marketed to healthcare providers, patients, and caregivers, offering improved glucose control, enhanced patient outcomes, and reduced healthcare costs.
