all the poking and injecting

Why does great design matter so much in the lives of
people with diabetes?
I prick myself 6 times a day, and pain free would be a lot
easier for me to manage my diabetes

Why does great design matter so much in the lives of
people with diabetes?
blood testing , dealing with needles, carrying around piles
of equipment and cumbersome record keeping this is
just some of the work people with diabetes deal with every
single day

Why does great design matter so much in the lives of

Too invasive, too clunky

Why does great design matter so much in the lives of

integrating the function of multiple devices into one so
that we dont have to carry around so many pieces of
gear

we need a significant improvement on our ability to
manage our disease

ultimately that helps the patient big time

Rather than rely on archaic methods of
monitoring glucose levels and
administering insulin,
the In Balance Homeostatic System
works to alleviate some of the burdens
in the lives of diabetics using
available and currenttechnology.

In Balance
Quality of life is the primary focus ofIn Balance.
With advancements in biotechnology, nanotechnology,
micro-arch
itecture and electropharma, t
heres
absolutely no reason why diabetics shouldnt have a
better quality of life.

Sub-dermal glucose monitor
Researchers have already developed Radio Frequency ID
chips (RFIDs) the size of a rice grain, and super thin
shrink-wrap brain implants made from silk.

Sub-dermal glucose monitor
Taking inspiration from this, In
Balance would use a sub-
dermal glucose monitor to
manage diabetes.
-

Sub-dermal glucose monitor
The tiny RF-monitor could be
implanted anywhere in the
body and would
continuously monitor
glucose levels.
-

Sub-dermal glucose monitorUsing radio frequency, the
sub-dermal glucose monitor
would wirelessly send data
to smart phones and
personal computers.

18/41
Sub-dermal glucose monitorThis not only eliminates having
to prick your fingers many
times a day to check
glucose levels, but also aids
in record keeping, since thestats could then be
organized and displayed in
an app.

Sub-dermal glucose monitor
Family members and loved
ones could also have access
to the info so that everyone
in your support team isinvolved and aware.

Sub-dermal glucose monitor
This benefits children and
adults because its always
easier to manage diabeteswhen you have people in
your corner.

Sub-dermal glucose monitor
If your glucose levels should
spike at any point of the day
or night, you, and those in
your circle, could be alerted
immediately.

Sub-dermal glucose monitorFurthermore, if they should
spike while you are sleeping,
everyone including an
emergency medical
response team could bealerted.

Basal ImplantInstead of administering basal
insulin through pumps, In
Balance would use a sub-
dermal implant rod, the size
of a matchstick, similar to
what is currently used to
administer other kinds of
hormones.

Basal Implant
Your doctor could easily inject
the insulin rod once every
six months to a year,
depending on your needs.

Basal Implant
The rods eliminate having to carry around and be
attached to clunky devices, while still providing long-
term continuous base level insulin as the body slowlyabsorbs them.

Sublingual Insulin Tablets
Instead of correction shots, In
Balance would use fast
acting sublingual insulin
tablets for pre-prandial or
post-prandial doses.
-

In Balance
The RF-sub-dermal glucose monitor, the insulin implant rod
and the sub-lingual insulin tablets, free diabetics from
chores of blood testing, dealing with needles,cumbersome record keeping and carrying around piles of
equipment.

rinted Pancreas
Advancements in regenerative medicine and micro-
architecture have allowed scientists to develop 3D Bio-
printers.
-

Printed Pancreas
Using inkjet technology, and the patients own stem cells, In
Balance would apply these to print a new pancreas.

Printed Pancreas
Since the cells used would be your own, rejection is no
longer a problem as with other transplants.

All the while, the sub-dermal
monitor can reassure that your
new pancreas is workingproperly.

No longer science fiction, all the
components of the In Balance
