Creating an Artificial Pancreas (semester?), IPRO 308: Creating an Artificial Pancreas IPRO 308 Final Report F07_redacted Babicz, Amanda Goldstein, Linda Kochanek, Malgorzata Mathews, Rohan Mesquitta, Walatta Narasimhan, Devnaradev Patel, Bhavin Rahnavard, Amir Reddy, Kirthi Riaz, Maryum Saung, E-faan Thomas, David Morley, Michael Emmanuel Opara Ray DeBoth Artificial Pancreas Glucose Measuring Emission Spectroscopy Impedence Spectroscopy 1. Advance extraction technique in order to extract a greater amount of interstitial fluid than achieved before. 2. Modify extraction technique to lessen time needed to extract required amount of interstitial fluid. 3. Research and design a technique of administering insulin into the body without needle injection. 4. Determine optimal wavelength to analyze glucose concentrations with emission spectroscopy. 5. Determine whether the glucose measuring techniques investigated function with an acceptable degree of accuracy over possible physiologic interstitial glucose levels. 6. Determine the highest voltage level while performing impedance spectroscopy that will not harm the skin. 7. Weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the different glucose measuring techniques investigated and select the most advantageous one. 8. Design a prototype small enough to be worn on the body Deliverables for IPRO 308: Creating an Artificial Pancreas for the Fall 2007 semester 2007-12 2007-12 Project deliverable application/pdf islandora:12205 http://hdl.handle.net/10560/1673 IPRO / Interprofessional Projects Program Illinois Institute of Technology en In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/page/InC/1.0/ Open Access
