The insulin pump was created through early efforts to achieve continuous insulin delivery.
Early Development of Continuous Insulin Delivery
The idea of continuous insulin delivery started to gain traction in the United States during the early 1960s.
- Arnold Kadish's Contribution: Arnold Kadish designed the first closed-loop insulin pump device. This pioneering device was intended to work by providing continuous insulin to the body together with automatic blood glucose sensing (19, 20).
In summary, the insulin pump's creation began with Arnold Kadish's innovative concept and device aimed at continuous insulin delivery and glucose monitoring.
