Micro-Fluid Flow Sensor

Micro-fluid flow sensor

Problem

Solution

My role in this project is to explore all the possible methods of measuring micro-fluid flow and to develop several testing apparatuses that use the methods. I have developed a testing procedure to analyze the prototype's sensing capabilities.

We are trying to implement an attachable micro-fluid flow sensor to the insulin pump to give users real-time feedback from their insulin dose.

Type 1 Diabetes is a disease that affects the production of insulin in patients. Those who use insulin pumps cannot accurately measure how much insulin is actually entering their bodies. This leads to complications such as hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia which is a lack or excess of insulin.
