Project

Automated glucose control at home for people with chronic disease (CLOSE 2019)

CLOSE enhances the use of an artificial pancreas (AP), an innovation that assists severely ill people with type 2 diabetes. By providing strong digital connections to medical professionals, new analytical tools and training, CLOSE supports chronic patients in living at home, and promises patients and their families a better quality of life.The artificial pancreas (AP) approaches a “technical cure” of diabetes as it measures glucose levels and uses an algorithm to determine the right amount of insulin to infuse in the patient. CLOSE seeks to improve the chronic care made possible by the AP. Conceived during the set-up of EIT Health, CLOSE employs decades of expertise in global diabetes markets and closed-loop technology, combined with a patient-centered attitude, to inform the co-creative process.
