Bigfoot Biomedical’s Diabetes Management System Going on Trial
 Bigfoot Biomedical is a company working on introducing an “artificial pancreas” for Type 1 diabetics who are on insulin therapy. The company has developed its own algorithms that control the delivery of insulin by a pump based on readings from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). **w these algorithms are about to be tested in a clinical Trial thanks to an FDA Investigational Device Exemption and enrollment of initial patients.Bigfoot’s “smartloop” automated insulin delivery System relies on Dexcom’s G5 CGM, a product that last week*received a positive vote from an FDA panel to be used as a replacement for traditional finger prick-based blood glucose testing. The smartloop receives readings from the G5 every five minutes and, though the company isn’t saying it, probably also takes manually inputted data from patients via a smartphone regarding diet and exercise. This is used to regularly adjust when to deliver a dose of insulin in order to keep the patient within a healthy glucose range.

Moving with unprecedented speed in medical device development, over the past 20 months they’ve assembled a team of 40 people and are driving toward commercialization of a cutting edge approach to improving the lives of people with T1D.Link:*Bigfoot Biomedical’s homepage… Via: Bigfoot Biomedical… This post Bigfoot Biomedical’s Diabetes Management System Going on Trial appeared first on Medgadget.
