Optimizing User Experience in Insulin Pump Therapy by Applying The Attributes of Fitness and Wellness Monitoring Systems

Abstract Details

2015, MDES, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Design.
Patients with diabetes can benefit from insulin pump therapy, when they can easily set up the basal and bolus to keep their blood glucose in a normal range. Insulin pump therapy simulates a normal functioning pancreas. After studying two insulin pump systems: Medtronic Minimed Insulin Pump System and OmniPod Insulin Pump System, it is obvious that both pumps are difficult to carry and monitor, ignoring the patients’ user experience. On the other hand, fitness and wellness monitoring devices, similar to the insulin pump monitor, can be worn on the body to continuously track the patient’s health. These fitness and wellness devices are popular and designed to be not only aesthetically pleasing but also have an interactive interface to help the patient monitor his health. In order to find out the attributes of fitness and wellness monitoring systems, some wearable device design principles are found from reviewing two fitness band systems: Jawbone and Fitbit. By combining the principles and studies, the insights and fitness band system model are built. Simplify the two insulin pump systems into two system models and apply the fitness band system model into insulin pump system to generate an optimized insulin pump system model. According to this new insulin pump model, the wristband and smartphone interface are designed. And this phone interface is used for user test to find the feedback from patients.
