Engineering New Weapons in the Fight Against Juvenile Diabetes
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Researchers Play Key Role in Development of “Closed Loop” Artificial Pancreas Engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are combining automation techniques from oil refining and other diverse areas to help create a closed-loop artificial pancreas. The device will automatically monitor blood sugar levels and administer insulin to patients with Type 1 diabetes, and aims to remove much of the guesswork for those living with the chronic disease.
