For all the active diabetes sufferers, Ellaluna Taylor has designed the Flex insulin pump system that acts as a “unique prosthetic skin” that is worn naturally under clothing as a discreet glucose management solution. Packaged with a PDA-like glucose eReader for interfacing with the device, the device makes use of soft battery technology and the MEMS Nano Pump for increased dosage accuracy and reliability. Now if only you could pair this with the Glucose Tattoo, you’d be the coolest kid on the block… with diabetes.

usually, we cannot reallize how painful patient are suffering from medication. That’s so suitable solution for them.
Btw, can we really go into the coolest boy world?:)
The idea is very old… Can’t remember who made the first one of flexible syringe.
Super
good
Awesome presentation. Love the product. Packaging and graphic layout is really impressive! Design on!
its like a leach
Feature to add: Micro electric generator. Any movement between the two stick pads is translated into battery power. Ergo no replacing the batteries.
Real Problem to solve:
How do you prevent infection at the injection site. Perhaps the suplus power (above) could power a light or a bacteria/virus destroyer.
Nice job, realistic technologies, lots of little problems to be solved but all in all a good job.
Very interesting, it is still a bit bulky for all our slim fitting teeshirts though and I highly doubt I would want one attached to my arm. I love the thought of a self charging battery:)
I currently use something very similar to this idea called the OmniPod. It’s basically a little matchbox-sized receptacle that holds 2-3 days of insulin and can be attached anywhere on the body.
Insulin dosages and blood sugar readings are handled with a device similar to an old school BlackBerry, which communicates with the receptacle wirelessly. Pretty cool stuff.
like the idea, put this looks big and bulky, and long not sure how comfortable this would be
Where you could buy this incredible device that is important.
Leech concept is amazing.
Designers RULE THE WORLD.
different shape and more streamline would work better…current problem w/ Omnipod is it hits on stuff and comes off! need low profile device. Great concept…especially flexibility
Hopefully kids won't respond by going:
"Oh Cool, what is that. What in the world is diabetes? Hey Johnny, let me try it on.."
share, share, share.

Hopefully kids WILL respond so you can tell what’s diabetes is all about and children know how to handle when there diabatic friend is suffering a hypo!
I have a lot of questions for this. I am a type I diabetic for 22 years and I have been using the Medtronic mini med for about 7 years now. With this one is it water proof. How easy does it come off. How expensive is it and does insurance cover it.
Can you send me more info please .. Do it come with a continuous glucose sensor? Where can I get one?
Does anybody knows how can I get one? It would be awesome for me. Thanks in advance.
