Closed-Loop Therapy
Our Medtrum Nano and DANA-i insulin pumps are designed for secure and reliable remote control from a users smartphone. This makes them an ideal choice for closed-loop therapy, where insulin delivery is automated by an algorithm using CGM data in real-time to reduce instances of hypoglycemia and increase time in range.
Android APS
Android APS is a community driven effort to produce an effective and safe Artifical Pancreas System with an algorithm that runs on an Android smartphone. The project currently supports Medtrum Nano and DANA-i insulin pumps. The algorithm behind Android APS is highly effective and safe, as demonstrated by results of a randomised control trial (RCT) published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2022. Android APS is not a commercial project and the code is available freely online. However, users must build the smartphone app for themselves. Android APS has a significant following in New Zealand and some support groups can be found online, such as the Nightscout New Zealand Community on Facebook.
