In this
study, an electronic insulin pen was designed for diabetic patients dependent
on insulin use in order to prevent wrong timing and wrong dosage caused from
old age, vision or mental illness. During design, the patients’ necessities
such as easy-to-use, have been considered. The insulin pen that can be used
electronically for routine dose injections, and that is called as Bilensülin,
was designed to be able to used manually in the emergency. It is aimed that the
patient can set the dose easily by using the fairly simple menu of the device.
Additionally, the device was designed as reusable by changing the insulin
cartridge. Because the tube chamber was designed to be suitable for all types
of insulin, it can be used by changing cartridge without using different pen.
Dose accuracy was tested by performing insulin dose measurements on a sensitive
balance, and dose of Bilensulin was compared with the three types of insulin
pens.The patent has been applied for this designed electronic insulin pen. The
mechanism of change of cartridge has been put into the foreground in terms of
ease of use and constituted the sub-structure of the patent application. Currently, the studies on the device are
continuing.
