The Road to the Artificial Pancreas

CSEF · 2016 Electronics & Electromagnetics

Overview

Objectives/Goals In this project, I want to make an Artificial Pancreas that can be used for any patient with Type 1 Diabetes. Instead of using actual insulin and glucose I will test the artificial pancreas with vinegar which represents high glucose levels and baking soda which represents insulin. Results The three amounts of vinegar used in this project are 200, 230, and 250 ml. Average amount of time it took to neutralize all of them after 10 trials each was 4:31, 5:12, 5:39 minutes respectively and always started the neutralization instantly. None of the three caused any problems the artificial pacreas Conclusions/Discussion This confirms that this type of an artificial pancreas can work on many people as long as there is an undesired amount of glucose (vinegar). This also means that the device will be quick and will give the right amount of insulin or baking soda in a short amount of time whenever is needed. All the device needs is an undesired amount of glucose to turn on.
