The new AID system is being developed to integrate the FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor of Abbott with CamDiab’s CamAPS FX mobile app, which connects with the mylife YpsoPump of Ypsomed, to offer a smart, automated approach for delivering insulin based on real-time glucose readings.
The FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor is claimed to be the world’s smallest and most precise continuous glucose monitoring sensor, offering readings minute by minute.
Designed to continuously screen the glucose levels of an individual, this new connected, smart wearable solution can automatically regulate and offer the correct quantity of insulin at the appropriate time, eliminating guesswork in insulin dosing.
