GlucoBox System LPM - EPFL have been able to tackle a typical engineer problem from the beginning to the end. Finally, we ended up with a functional concept in a relatively short period of time. We hope that our project will be carried on and as a result, lead to the final product. In this scope, some improvements are essential for a key success: • Mechanical aspect; re-design the enclosure so that is can meet medical regulations. This part will also be profitable to improve external look. • Electrical; as for mechanical aspect, medical conformity is essential. One of the main part here concerns the wireless link. New IC must be prospected in order to respect medical regulations. • PC software; portal to common OS, like MAC OSX or Linux. • Global study: to reduce cost of development, a broader study should be performed. Currently, costs of components of GlucoBox control device are relatively high, around 300 CHF (details in D). New technologies, fabrication processes and assembly techniques must be adequately chosen to achieve lower costs, thus making the system affordable to diabetic patients.
