Artificial pancreas revolutionizes treatment of type 1 diabetes

A cutting-edge technological device has been developed by a scientific team in the UK, called the "artificial pancreas," to optimize the treatment of people with type 1 diabetes. The artificial pancreas incorporates modern algorithms and interacts with each user individually, automating the process of measuring and taking insulin.

Roman Hovorka, professor of metabolic technology in the Department of Paediatrics at Cambridge University, who is leading the development of the artificial pancreas, is aiming to find solutions to the existing needs of the population and to simplify the lives of people with type 1 diabetes. Speaking to Kathimerini, the renowned professor explains the features of the artificial pancreas, which consists of a closed-type device of automated control and tuning of blood glucose, as well as its individual components which are controlled and regulated...
