Debiotech and STMicroelectronics will be rolling out their new Disposable Insulin Jewel Pump which is supposed to be the most advanced use of microfluidic MEMS technology in diabetes treatment to date. The device which is currently awaiting FDA clearance can be mounted on a disposable skin patch to provide continuous insulin infusion. This should help immensely to improve the quality of life in diabetes patients as it will be smaller, thinner and lighter than insulin pumps that are currently available on the market.
