Status of creation of hardware-software complex of automatic control of the insulin delivery

Abstract

The article discusses issues related to the prospects for the implementation of the idea of creating a hardware-software complex for automated regulation of insulin delivery. Today, there are drugs that allow people to live relatively comfortably even with the most severe types of diabetes. The main difficulty of insulin therapy is that it is necessary to constantly (at any time, day or night) to carry out the procedure of control and regulation of the introduction of the drug into the patient's body. Unfortunately, not all patients are able to perform it properly. The ideal solution could be a system that performs all these actions automatically, without the participation of the patient. Therefore, the implementation of the idea of creating a hardware and software system for automatic regulation of insulin delivery using the program-adaptive control scheme is relevant. The article forms the general requirements for an approach capable of providing safe medical care for people with type 1 diabetes. The requirements to which the hardware-software complexes of automatic regulation of insulin delivery must correspond are formulated, their block diagram is presented.
