The Artificial Pancreas: Current Situation and Future Directions

The Artificial Pancreas presents research on the top issues related to the artificial pancreas (AP) and its application to diabetes. AP is a newer form of treatment to inject insulin accurately and efficiently, thereby significantly improving the patient's quality of life. By connecting a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion using a control algorithm, AP delivers and regulates the most accurate amount of insulin to maintain normal glycemic values. Featuring chapters written by the world's leaders in AP research, this book provides readers with the latest studies and results to assist and improve the lives of patients living with diabetes. Provides the state-of-the art research on the Artificial Pancreas in areas including mathematical models, Hi-Fi simulation of patients with T1DM, control algorithms, control-oriented models, sensor and actuator technologies, and clinical trialsFeatures research and results from top academic experimental groups from universities such as Harvard (USA), University of Cambridge (UK), University of Montpellier (France), and Buenos Aires Institute of Technology (Argentina)Discusses clinical trials of AP from around the world, including the United States, the EU, Latin America, and Israel INDICE: 1.
