Bluetooth LE insulin management system helps patients monitor diabetic therapy

Korea-based medical device company EOFlow has selected Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52832 Bluetooth 5.2/Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) general-purpose multiprotocol System-on-Chip (SoC) to provide the wireless connectivity for its ‘EOPatch’ insulin management system. The solution is designed to help diabetic patients improve their quality of life by allowing them to monitor and manage their diabetes therapy. 

EOPatch is a 49.5 by 39 by 14.5mm, 29.4g (excluding insulin), IPX8 waterproof (1m for 24 hours), tubeless, wearable, and disposable insulin pump integrating a Nordic nRF52832 SoC. The unit continuously delivers insulin under the skin via a soft canula, helping control blood glucose levels in diabetic patients who need basal insulin and periodic injections of bolus insulin. The reservoir holds up to 200 U (2ml) of insulin, with at least 80 U of insulin needed to activate the patch. In addition, the EOPatch insulin management system comprises a controller that connects to the iOS and Android compatible ‘EOBridge’ Cloud-based diabetes data management program via the ‘EOCloud’ server.
