Insulin Management System for Diabetic Patients

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to attempt a human centered design of a diabetes management system. Emphasis was put on the interface and the interaction between the user and the products, taking into account the varied social and psychological needs of the patient. The design focuses on simplifying tasks and improving communication with the doctor, for real time evaluation of the patient's needs. The aim of the paper is to promote an empathic and user centric approach to designing self-care medical systems, providing data security and rapid response systems for emergency situations, as well as, helping patients blend in to society rather than stand out.
