Our project involved a conceptualization of an inventive idea that still does not exist in the market, the Glucosystem IV, and a corresponding simulation of the idea by inputting blood glucose, insulin, age, weight, gender, and diabetic severity values to create a dummy patient. Having successfully simulated this idea using existing hardware, we have proved that our envisioned device, the Glucosystem IV, is in fact feasible.
Our excitement in Glucosystem IV stems from the fact that it combines two of the latest technological developments – a continuous blood glucose monitoring system as epitomized by the Glucoset™, a computerized algorithmic-based IV insulin infusion system as epitomized by the Glucommander IV™. In addition to combining these technologies into one medical device, our envisioned Glucosystem IV adds cloud connectivity linking the data from the medical device to Parse cloud, and the ability for patients and medical personnel to access such data from the cloud, communicate with one another, and control the medical device remotely. Thus, our technology will help doctors and nurses save the burdensome time that goes into such routine tasks such as calculating a patient’s blood glucose levels, installing intravenous pipes, and having to inject insulin at certain times according to complicated protocols.
