Evolution and Practical Applications

Abstract
Achievement of well-controlled blood glucose is essential for preventing complications in patients with type 1
diabetes. Since the inception of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, the aim has been to develop an
artificial pancreas, with the ability to use an automated algorithm to deliver one or more hormones in response
to blood glucose with the intent to keep blood sugar as close to a prespecified target as possible. Development
and rapid improvement of continuous glucose sensor technology has recently allowed swift progress toward a
fully closed-loop insulin delivery system. In 2017, Medtronic began marketing the 670G insulin pump with
Guardian 3 sensor. When in auto mode, this is a hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system that automatically
adjusts basal insulin delivery every 5 min based on sensor glucose to maintain blood glucose levels as close to a
specific target as possible. Patients receive prandial insulin by entering carbohydrate amount into the bolus
calculator. Early studies show improvement in HbA1c in both adults and adolescents with this technology.
Initial safety trials showed no occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis or hypoglycemia. The utility of this device is
limited by blood glucose targets of 120 and 150 mg/dL that are unacceptably high for some patients. Not-
withstanding recent advances, we are far from a system that is able to replicate islet function in the form of a
fully automated, multihormonal blood glucose control device.

Introduction
People with type 1 diabetes mellitus face a perpetualuphill battle in achieving optimal glycemic control. The
fine line between preventing hypoglycemia and avoiding
complications from hyperglycemia is challenging to navigate.
Our objective is to describe the history of continuous sub-
cutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and continuous glucose
monitor (CGM) and how these components allowed the de-
velopment of the first commercially available ‘‘artificial pan-
creas’’ (AP), although many would prefer the nomenclature of
‘‘closed-loop insulin delivery.’’ We then go on to describe
practicalities of the initial hybrid closed-loop (HCL) insulin
delivery system released by Medtronic.
Since the first use of CSII in the late 1970s, real-time
CGM in the early 2000s, and the eventual sensor-augmented
pump and ‘‘low-glucose suspend’’ after that, the obvious
next step was further integration between the two for a
closed-loop system, which ideally would require minimal
interaction from the patient. The accuracy of the sensors has

This document describes a proposed artificial intelligence (AI) application that uses reinforcement learning to predict optimized insulin dosages for type 1 diabetes patients.

The strategy was tested using a simulator and demonstrated regulation of basal and post-prandial insulin levels for single meal experiments.

Tuning of digital PID controller for blood glucose level of diabetic patientIRJET Journal
This document discusses the design of a digital PID controller to regulate the blood glucose level of diabetic patients. It first presents the mathematical model of blood glucose level as a transfer function. Then, it tunes the PID controller parameters using two methods: Ziegler-Nichols and Cohen-Coon. The Ziegler-Nichols method results in a faster rise time but more overshoot, while the Cohen-Coon method provides a response with less settling time, zero steady state error, and quicker output. Simulation results comparing the step responses and bode plots of each tuning method are presented, showing that the Cohen-Coon approach provides better control performance for regulating blood glucose levels.

Diabetics blood glucose control based on GA-FOPID techniquejournalBEEI
In this paper, an optimized Fractional Order Proportional, Integral, Derivative based Genetic Algorithm GA-FOPID optimization technique is proposed for glucose level normalization of diabetic patients. The insulin pump with diabetic patient system used in the simulation is the Bergman minimal model, which is used to simulate the overall system. The main purpose is to obtain the optimal controller parameters that regulate the system smoothly to the desired level using GA optimization to find the FOPID parameters. The next step is to obtain the FOPID controller parameters and the traditional PID controller parameters normally. Then, the simulation output results of using the proposed GA-FOPID controller was compared with that of using the normal FOPID and the traditional PID controllers. The comparison shows that all the three controllers can regulate the glucose level but the use of GA-FOPID controller was outperform the use of the other two controllers in terms of speed of normalization and the overshoot value.

Diabetes prediction based on discrete and continuous mean amplitude of glycem...journalBEEI
Chronic hyperglycemia and acute glucose fluctuations are the two main factors that trigger complications in diabetes mellitus (DM). Continuous and sustainable observation of these factors is significant to be done to reduce the potential of cardiovascular problems in the future by minimizing the occurrence of glycemic variability (GV). At present, observations on GV are based on the mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE), which is measured based on continuous blood glucose data from patients using particular devices. This study aims to calculate the value of MAGE based on discrete blood glucose observations from 43 volunteer patients to predict the diabetes status of patients. Experiments were carried out by calculating MAGE values from original discrete data and continuous data obtained using Spline Interpolation. This study utilizes the machine learning algorithm, especially k-Nearest Neighbor with dynamic time wrapping (DTW) to measure the distance between time series data. From the classification test, discrete data and continuous data from the interpolation results show precisely the same accuracy value that is equal to 92.85%. Furthermore, there are variations in the MAGE value for each patient where the diabetes class has the most significant difference, followed by the pre-diabetes class, and the typical class.

Le concept de digital twins appliqué à la médecine personnalisée | LIEGE CREA...LIEGE CREATIVE
Les technologies digitales et l’automation ont permis d’améliorer la productivité dans de nombreux domaines industriels, mais peu encore en médecine.
Le concept de digital twins s’est construit à l’intersection de l’industrie 4.0 et de l’internet des objets, et désigne une copie virtuelle d’un système capable d’interagir de manière bidirectionnelle et en temps réel avec le système physique.
En médecine, le digital twin est souvent utilisé comme un synonyme de modèles numériques personnalisés et n’ayant pas toujours le couplage en temps-réel avec le système physique. Le digital twin utilise les connaissances venant de la recherche biomédicale et peut se nourrir également des données cliniques. Il permet de donner une réponse à des questions thérapeutiques, allant de la découverte de nouvelles thérapies jusqu’à la prédiction de l’effet d’une intervention thérapeutique proposée.
Après une introduction du concept de digital twins, nous illustrerons son application à la médecine personnalisée à l’aide d’exemples en médecine régénérative et aux soins intensifs.
The document summarizes information about insulin pumps. Insulin pumps are external devices that mimic the pancreas by continuously measuring blood sugar levels and injecting insulin to maintain normal levels. Traditional pumps include the pump unit to control insulin delivery, a disposable insulin reservoir, and a disposable infusion set including a cannula and tubing. Insulin pumps offer benefits over multiple daily injections such as increased flexibility and more precise insulin delivery to reduce complications. However, disadvantages include risks of infection and malfunction leading to ketoacidosis as well as the high cost of pumps.
The document describes an implantable continuous glucose monitor consisting of a subcutaneous sensor and external monitor. The sensor uses fluorescent glucose sensing technology powered by RF from the monitor to continuously monitor glucose levels for up to 1 year. The monitor alerts the user to hypo- and hyperglycemic events in advance via an LCD screen and alarm. The device aims to provide a better solution for managing diabetes than existing intermittent fingerstick monitors by eliminating pain and providing continuous, real-time glucose data to help regulate insulin levels.
ueda2013 basal insulin versus premixed insulin-d.salahueda2015
This document discusses the use of basal insulin versus premixed insulin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It provides background on insulin analogues and their properties. For initiating insulin therapy in T2DM, guidelines recommend starting with basal insulin and titrating doses to reach blood glucose targets, rather than starting with premixed insulin. Premixed insulin combines basal and prandial insulin but does not mimic physiological insulin action and requires structured meal plans. The document concludes that a stepwise approach starting with basal insulin and progressing to basal-bolus regimens if needed provides the best approach for intensifying insulin therapy in T2DM.

Le concept de digital twins appliqué à la médecine personnalisée | LIEGE CREA...LIEGE CREATIVE
Les technologies digitales et l’automation ont permis d’améliorer la productivité dans de nombreux domaines industriels, mais peu encore en médecine.
Le concept de digital twins s’est construit à l’intersection de l’industrie 4.0 et de l’internet des objets, et désigne une copie virtuelle d’un système capable d’interagir de manière bidirectionnelle et en temps réel avec le système physique.
En médecine, le digital twin est souvent utilisé comme un synonyme de modèles numériques personnalisés et n’ayant pas toujours le couplage en temps-réel avec le système physique. Le digital twin utilise les connaissances venant de la recherche biomédicale et peut se nourrir également des données cliniques. Il permet de donner une réponse à des questions thérapeutiques, allant de la découverte de nouvelles thérapies jusqu’à la prédiction de l’effet d’une intervention thérapeutique proposée.
Après une introduction du concept de digital twins, nous illustrerons son application à la médecine personnalisée à l’aide d’exemples en médecine régénérative et aux soins intensifs.
The document summarizes information about insulin pumps. Insulin pumps are external devices that mimic the pancreas by continuously measuring blood sugar levels and injecting insulin to maintain normal levels. Traditional pumps include the pump unit to control insulin delivery, a disposable insulin reservoir, and a disposable infusion set including a cannula and tubing. Insulin pumps offer benefits over multiple daily injections such as increased flexibility and more precise insulin delivery to reduce complications. However, disadvantages include risks of infection and malfunction leading to ketoacidosis as well as the high cost of pumps.
The document describes an implantable continuous glucose monitor consisting of a subcutaneous sensor and external monitor. The sensor uses fluorescent glucose sensing technology powered by RF from the monitor to continuously monitor glucose levels for up to 1 year. The monitor alerts the user to hypo- and hyperglycemic events in advance via an LCD screen and alarm. The device aims to provide a better solution for managing diabetes than existing intermittent fingerstick monitors by eliminating pain and providing continuous, real-time glucose data to help regulate insulin levels.
ueda2013 basal insulin versus premixed insulin-d.salahueda2015
This document discusses the use of basal insulin versus premixed insulin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It provides background on insulin analogues and their properties. For initiating insulin therapy in T2DM, guidelines recommend starting with basal insulin and titrating doses to reach blood glucose targets, rather than starting with premixed insulin. Premixed insulin combines basal and prandial insulin but does not mimic physiological insulin action and requires structured meal plans. The document concludes that a stepwise approach starting with basal insulin and progressing to basal-bolus regimens if needed provides the best approach for intensifying insulin therapy in T2DM.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

4. 1.1. Background
Diabetes is a serious, chronic disease that occurs either because of insulin deficiency or
when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in eleven people lives with
this disease, indicating 422 million people in the world.[1, 2, 3].
Ethiopia recorded the highest numbers of people with diabetes in Africa with an
estimated 2.6 million diabetic patients [4].
4
5. There are two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease .
They can be treated by exogenous administration of insulin.
Type 2 diabetes occurs as a result of your cells become resistant to the action of insulin.
With type 2 diabetes, insulin is not always necessary.
5
6. The characteristic of type 1 diabetic is a permanent picture of hyperglycemia,
and reliance on exogenous insulin for survival.
insulin is daily administered by two methods which are conventional and intensive
insulin therapy.
Intensive insulin treatment can be given by multiple daily injections or by
continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion.
6
7. the Insulin doses must be finely tuned. Otherwise:
Insulin under dosing can drive to hyperglycemia (BG > 180 mg/dl) and
over dosing of insulin can cause hypoglycemia (BG < 70 mg/dl)
World spending with the disease reaches $327 billion and in 2018 only, around $51
billion was spent with the disease type 1 diabetes accounts for 5 to 10% of all diabetes
cases.
insulin pumps have a high cost of acquisition for developing countries
like Ethiopia since all available models are imported.

8. 1.3.1 General Objective
Our main objective is to design and build a prototype of insulin
pump which can keep a blood glucose as close to normal as possible.

9. 1.3.2 Specific Objective
To attain the accuracy of insulin pump prototype within the range of
commercial ones,
To achieve the precision of the insulin pump within the range of
commercial ones,
To develop predictive based algorithm with automatic dosing of basal
delivery, and.
To build a low-cost insulin pump with commercially available hardware
setup.

10. Our project’s aim is to deliver a technology for insulin delivery
systems which helps as treatment for type 1 patient mainly.
10
11. we focused on building a system which comprised of an infusion pump
and user interface.
11
12. This study will benefit the low-income community who can not
purchase an insulin pump.
This technology has also the potential to decrease the burden of
diabetes management on the patients themselves.
In addition, this project will give additional insight for future
studies.

An analysis of MiniMed 640G real-world data (data uploaded on
Carelink from January 2015 to January 2016), showed that
“suspend before low” which uses prediction-based suspension was used on
83% of user days,
“suspend on low” which uses threshold-based suspension was used on 11%
of user-days, while in the remaining
6% of user-days, neither “suspend before low” or “suspend on low” were
activated.

17. Buckingham and coauthor [22] developed their prediction-based
suspension method using a single Kalman filter prediction
algorithm with a prediction horizon of 70 min.
this study involved the artificial induction of near-hypoglycemia by
increased basal insulin delivery, the algorithm with pump shutoff
prevented hypoglycemia 73% of the nights.

18. A work by Spaic et al. [27] goes further by using the prediction-based
suspension algorithm developed by Buckingham et al. [22] combined
with an automatic insulin-dosing component, forming the Predictive
Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia Minimization system for overnight
control which demonstrated increased time in range, lower mean
glucose level, and reduced hyperglycemia without increased
hypoglycemia compared with “suspend before low” features alone.

22. Basal-bolus insulin dosing is widely used method of care for persons with
diabetes.
The insulin pump usually feeds insulin to the body in two formats. The first one
is bolus dose and the second one is basal dose.
bolus dose which pumped to cover food eaten or to correct a high blood glucose
level.
basal dose which pumped continuously at an adjustable basal rate to deliver
insulin needed between meals and at night
22
23. 23
The insulin pump usually feeds insulin to the body in two formats,
known as bolus dose and basal dose.
23
24. A. Calculation of total daily insulin requirement for 24 hours
Method 1
Total Daily Dose (TDD) for insulin infusion = 0.75 X total daily insulin dose
prior to starting the insulin pump. Equation 3.1
Method 2
Total Daily Dose (TDD) for insulin infusion = 0.5 X weight (kg) Equation 3.2
Method 3
Total Daily Dose (TDD) for insulin infusion = (Method 1 +Method)/2
Equation 3.3
24
25. B. Calculation of carbohydrate to insulin ratio
The carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio (CIR) is the number of grams of
carbohydrate that are covered by 1 unit of insulin
CIR= 450 / TDD Equation 3.4
25
26. C. Calculation of correction factor
Correction factor (insulin sensitivity factor) is the amount of blood glucose is
lowered by the injection of 1 unit of insulin.
Patients sensitivity for 1 unit of insulin.
This is depend of the type of insulin they uses
Insulin Sensitivity Factor = 1700 / TDD >>> for rapid acting insulin
Equation 3.5
Insulin Sensitivity Factor = 1500 / TDD >>> for short acting insulin
Equation 3.6
26
27. If the post meal blood sugar is above the targeted blood sugar range
for 2 to 3 days then consider decreasing the CIR by 15 percent.
If the post meal blood sugar is less than the targeted blood sugar
range for 2 to 3 days then consider increasing the CIR by 15
percent
27
28. D. Calculation of Correction Dose
If the premeal blood sugar is out of the targeted range, the meal related insulin
dose may need to be adjusted accordingly
Correction dose = (Current blood sugar -Target blood sugar) / CF
28
29. Basal insulin is the supply of insulin that is needed to maintain good blood sugar
control without taking into account eating any food.
The basal insulin accounts for about 40 to 50% of the daily insulin requirement.
Total Basal Insulin Requirement = 1/2 * Total Daily Dose (TDD) Equation 3.8
Hourly basal rate = 1/24 * Total Basal Insulin Equation 3.9
29
30. Adjustment of Basal Rate
The overnight basal rate is adjusted by checking the blood sugar at 12 AM, 3 AM and 7AM.
If the glucose level rises more than 30 mg/dL between readings, the basal rate should be increased
by 15 percent.
If the glucose level decreases by more than 30 mg/dL (or falls below target) between readings,
treat the low blood sugar and decrease the basal rate by 10 to 20 percent .
To adjust other daytime basal rates the patient is instructed to not to eat between meals and not to
correct post-meal high blood sugars. The two-hour post-meal blood sugar is then compared to the
next pre-meal blood glucose.
If the blood glucose decreases more than 60 mg /dL or falls below blood glucose target
decrease basal rate by 15 percent.
If the blood glucose decreases less than 30 mg/dL or stays the same , or rises : increase the
basal rate by 15 percent [3].
30
31. A ‘bolus dose’ is the term used for an additional insulin dose that can be given at
any time, usually to either match carbohydrate intake or to correct a high blood
glucose level.
Dose of Insulin for meal = (CHO/ CIR) + (Gc -Gt) / CF Equation 3.10
CHO (g) is the estimated amount of carbohydrates in the meal
carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio (CIR)
Gc is the current blood glucose level
Gt is the target blood glucose level.
correction factor (CF)
31
32. The insulin pump prototype has a syringe infusion mechanism, whose flow
control is volumetric and micro-controlled by an electronic system.
In the following step, the mechanical transmission converts the rotational
movement of the stepper motor into linear displacement of the syringe plunger
32
36. Stepper motor
We select Stepper motor because, accuracy and precision are our two main
objectives we need to fulfill at the end of the project.
The stepper motor is a motor that move in slow precise and discrete steps.
They excel other motor in application where precise positioning needed which is the
case in our project.
The other reason it is easily accessible.
36
37. Syringe pump
Low cost is a very important requirement in this project.
During the insulin pump based T1D treatment, patients need to change insulin
reservoir every two days on average.
The adopted syringe is the model Luecheck syringe 3mL.
Such solution seems adequate because this syringe adopts the same diameter of
the standard syringe 10 mL, which keeps it short enough for pump’s case design
and demands low torque to push the plunger.

43. We built an app for the user to have optional way to interface and access the
insulin pump.
We have used an MIT app inventor for the development of app. App inventor
let you develop applications for android phones using a web browser and either
a connected phone or emulator.
43
44. We focused on the main hazard situation which was “insulin overdose”
that can lead the user to death.
The sources to identify the hazards involving insulin infusion pump
was Yi Zhang et al. literature.
44
48. Currently, the gold standard for insulin pump assessment precision is based on the
IEC 60601‐2‐2421 standard, which uses the so‐called time‐stamped micro
gravimetric method.
For this analysis, we adapted the methodology proposed by Coskun et al.,7 and
evaluated the traveled distance (cm) of the syringe plunger, during infusion.

51. 𝐷𝑖 = (𝐷𝑖𝑚 ∗ 𝐷𝑟𝑚)/𝐷𝑟𝑝 Equation 3.26
The experimental error was determined as well as the percentage of the samples
within ±5, ±10, ±15,
and ±20% deviation. The precision of the low-cost CSII prototype was statistically
analyzed by
one-way ANOVA, using MATLAB 2020a.
51
52. To analyze the accuracy of the low-cost CSII prototype based on syringe plunger
displacement,we determined the target distance related to 5.0 IU infusion using a syringe
(Descarpack 3 mL) and a calibrated calipere determined the accuracy of data from a score
of samples within a precision deviation limit (± 5, ± 10, ± 15 and ±20%).
Precision thresholds were defined as the percentage deviation from the target dose
volume.

57. The measure Dt resulted in 1.03mm, and the measure Dm is the sample displacement
average, given by 1.0711mm for method 1 and 1.1056mm method 2. The error was
determined according to the equation below.

61. Previous studies have documented that the T1D treatment with insulin pump
reduces the HA1C, the number of hospitalizations, and the hypoglycemia events.
As we stated on our objective in the development of prototype, we emphasized
on how low-cost insulin pump can be built starting from the selection of
materials in parallel with keeping the performance of the pump relative to
commercial ones
61
62. It has been promoted as being a safety feature against hypoglycemia, especially
during sleep or in patients who have hypoglycemia unawareness, as less time is
spent in the hypoglycemic glucose range.
In addition to this whenever there is imminent risk of hyperglycemia it notifies the
user to use the correction dose.
62
63. Although the low-cost insulin pump prototype presented in this thesis is under
development, the evaluation of the device based on value is similar to those described in
the literature for commercial insulin infusion pumps, ranging from ± 2 to ± 5%
It is worth mentioning that there are no mandatory accuracy requirements or acceptance
criteria for insulin pumps; however, under the assumption that a mean total deviation from
the target of 5% is acceptable.
63
64. Jahn et al.,[55] Freckmann et al.,[57] and Borot et al.[58] evaluated
durable pumps and patch pumps using an adaptation of IEC 60601-2-24 protocol.
According to the results of these studies,
20.9, 46.6 and 77.8% of obtained values were within the ± 5%.
39.5, 71.2 and 94.4% of obtained values were within the ± 10%.
54.0, 81.2 and 94.4% of obtained values were within the ± 15%.
64
66. let’s look at a patient with a correction factor of 1:100, that is, all things being equal;
1 unit of insulin would lower their blood glucose concentration by 100 mg/dl.
An injection 0.1units of insulin should lower the blood glucose by 10 mg/dl.
Continuing this line of reasoning, an injection of 0.05 units should lower the blood
glucose of this insulin sensitive patient by 5 mg/dl.
Say the pump delivered 0.06 units instead. This would result in lowering their blood
glucose by 6mg/dl or an overall difference of 1 mg/dl.
That’s why we made our focus on prototyping an accurate model for insulin pump.
66
67. In conclusion, results show that the developed miniaturized mechanical system
presented functionality, precision, and accuracy when coupled to the electronic
system, and responded well to repeatability tests based on the results obtained
by using displacement of syringe plunger methods.
67
68. The next version of the prototype can be developed by implementing safety
control for fluid injection, stepper motor, system pressure, cartridge volume,
occlusion flux, and others
The other recommendation is our prototype does not have an algorithm which
can estimate the calorie of meals. But with further studies on machine learning
an algorithm can be developed.
