In case the patient decides to take the recommended dose, the glucometer containing an NFC based chip and antenna is passed near the insulin pump also having an NFC based chip and antenna and then the recommended dosage data is passed to the insulin pump and the patient receives the drug via a subcutaneous catheter.
With this device the patient develops confidence and control over the treatment and benefit of patient-in-the-loop is derived from NFC. This could certainly develop as an alternative for current devices where glucometers are being used and then appropriate doses are administered via syringes or insulin pumps are used which constantly monitor glucose level and insulin is automatically delivered and what we call is the closed loop feature.
