This product is a reusable electric pen type insulin injector for home use, which allows diabetes patients to self-inject insulin at their desired dosage. Additionally, this product, through integration with a dedicated application, collects the patient's glucose-related data and provides personalized blood glucose management services based on that information. This is aimed at providing a healthier and more prosperous life for Type 1 diabetes patients who need continuous diabetes management and Type 2 diabetes patients who have developed diabetes later in life.
What is an Insulin Pen?
An insulin pen is a device that allows diabetes patients to inject insulin directly at the location and time of their choosing, unlike a pump that continuously administers basal insulin, performing a function similar to our pancreas. Furthermore, unlike a pump, an insulin pen is built into the pen itself, eliminating the inconvenience of carrying consumables such as infusion sets or syringes.
NOTE
Electric smart insulin pens assist diabetes patients in better managing insulin injections by allowing them to use the pen in conjunction with a smartphone app. These pens calculate and track the user's dosage, providing helpful alerts and reports. Such data is provided in the form of a reusable cartridge pre-filled with insulin, as an alternative to insulin vials or disposable pens, or as an additional feature to the current insulin pen.
