doc.: IEEE Submission May 2008 Sung Dong Lee, InfopiaSlide 3 Increasing number of people with diabetes To improve therapy and hypoglycemia awareness; –Continuous glucose monitoring can reduce hemoglobin A1C levels when compared with fingersticks alone, which in turn can reduce the risk of longterm health complications. To improve the REAL-life decisions through new insights on the impact of daily activities on the glucose control. Needs of Continuous Glucose Monitoring

doc.: IEEE Submission May 2008 Sung Dong Lee, InfopiaSlide 4 Enzymatic Glucose Sensor The glucose passing through the membrane is oxidized by the enzyme glucose oxidase. Reduced glucose oxidase can then be oxidized. Hydrogen peroxide is oxidized into water and generates current which can be measured at the electrode surface(working electrode).

doc.: IEEE Submission May 2008 Sung Dong Lee, InfopiaSlide 6 The sensor is placed on the back of upper arm or abdomen, and is held there with a special adhesive. –A tiny filament 5mm long (as thin as several strands of hair) goes just under the skin. The transmitter attached with the sensor sends glucose readings to the wireless receiver. The receiver stores all glucose readings, and it gives an accurate changes of the glucose. Data record –288 glucose readings per day (a readings / 5 min) – for up to 60 days Working procedure

The insulin pump transmits data wirelessly to a dongle connected to a computer. Data from sensor and insulin pump can be utilized by Diabetes' therapy management software solutions. Insulin pump (Medtronic)

doc.: IEEE Submission May 2008 Sung Dong Lee, InfopiaSlide 9 Issues In medical / healthcare applications –Single coordinator or integrated controller with the functions : platform, display, point-to-multipoint control, and so on. –An on-body controller may communicate with implant sensors. –What about an on-body controller with implant medical devices including actuators. Problems –We need point-to-multipoint control. Medical devices under regulatory : Point-to-point control How to solve ? –How to grantee the integrated controller ? System reliability may be related to safety.
