Problem
Current methods of insulin delivery for diabetes management can be cumbersome, costly, and may lead to issues with patient compliance. Traditional insulin pumps can be bulky and inconvenient, while other methods may lack the precision needed for optimal glycemic control.
Solution
Torramics is developing a disposable insulin patch that leverages nanoPump technology to provide precise insulin delivery in a compact form factor. The patch is smaller than three stacked half-dollars and is designed to be easily integrated into the user's lifestyle, promoting better adherence to insulin therapy. Enabled by a nanofluidic system and a nanoCompressor, the patch holds three days' worth of insulin and aims to simplify diabetes management by automating insulin delivery. This innovative approach seeks to minimize the burden of diabetes, allowing patients to maintain stable glucose levels without the constant need for manual adjustments or bulky devices. The device incorporates rapid occlusion detection to ensure accurate dosing and prevent missed insulin delivery.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals with insulin-dependent diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2) who require precise and convenient insulin delivery methods.
