A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20240033429A1) describes an innovative insulin delivery system in the form of a patch pump designed to be worn on the skin surface of a user. The system includes a housing with an adhesive patch for attachment, a reservoir for storing insulin, a cannula for subcutaneous insertion, a processor for insulin control and cannula insertion, a power supply, and a transmitter for wireless communication with a controller. The controller, equipped with an input unit, output unit, and user interface, communicates with the patch pump to manage insulin delivery and cannula insertion, allowing for personalized and efficient insulin administration.

Furthermore, the system incorporates features such as an insertion mechanism with a spring-driven needle, a mobile phone controller option, the ability to deliver insulin based on programmed profiles or bolus dosages, and integration with a glucose sensor for real-time monitoring. The patch pump also includes a self-sealing septum port, an audible alert system, and a leakage sensor for enhanced safety and convenience. With a cannula designed for up to four days of insulin delivery, this on-body patch pump offers a comprehensive and user-friendly solution for individuals requiring continuous insulin therapy. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated insulin delivery system that combines cutting-edge technology with user-centric design to improve the management of diabetes and enhance the quality of life for patients.
