Modeling, Simulation and Characterization of Pressurized Reservoir Insulin Pump
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Saidi, Mohammad Said (Supervisor) ; Sani, Mahdi (Supervisor)
Abstract
Insulin pump treatment is considered the most physiological way to imitate the healthy body's insulin profile in patients with diabetes. They provide a precisely controlled rate of insulin delivery to diabetic patients who would normally need multiple daily injections to regulate blood glucose levels. The firmware allows numerous modifications to the bolus dose and basal rate to enable patients to manage insulin levels in response to events such as eating, sleeping, and exercise.
In this Study, we have first investigated different models of insulin pumps on the market and chose the Spring ZoneTM insulin pump model for our study due to its innovative technology. This pump employs a...

Abstract
Oral administration is a pillar of the pharmaceutical industry and yet it remains challenging to administer hydrophilic therapeutics by the oral route. Smart and controlled oral drug delivery could bypass the physiological barriers that limit the oral delivery of these therapeutics. Micro- and nanoscale technologies, with an unprecedented ability to create, control, and measure micro- or nanoenvironments, have found tremendous applications in biology and medicine. In particular, significant advances have been made in using these technologies for oral drug delivery. In this review, we briefly describe biological barriers to oral drug delivery and micro and nanoscale fabrication technologies....
