When our group researched current CGMs, we concluded that with the application of new technologies we can heavily innovate the device to make it ergonomic, less bulky, and cost-efficient. With the application of new technologies and slight innovations to the current design, we will be able to feasibly produce a significantly better treatment for type two diabetes.

Our motivation and ideas spurred from what needed to be addressed in our design criteria. One way that we solved the issues with patient errors and making the device more user-friendly is to pre-calibrate the sensors in production. This helps to produce more reliable results as there will be less room for patient errors, cost-efficient as patients will not need to buy a glucometer kit to calibrate the CGM, and it will allow the patient to save time and energy.

Secondly, in order to increase the longevity of all parts of the device, we have decided upon a novice plant-derived mussel-mimic glue adhesive on the base of the transmitter as it is one of the main restrictors for longer wear. Additionally, we proposed to coat hydrogels around the sensor. The hydrogel will mimic the human skin and will, therefore, prevent the immune system from attacking the sensor. This will help make the treatment more customizable for the patient as they will have the choice to remove the CGM whenever and wherever. To provide more reliable data and to make the treatment easier to use, we have decided to develop apps to measure the material levels of chemicals. With the app, users can easily determine which color the sensor is at a point in time. This app will also lower costs as these chemicals can determine when a patient needs to clean their sensor instead of disposing of the sensor after a period of time.

The last criterion that we felt necessary was to decrease the size of the device. We have made the choice to incorporate wireless charging. This will decrease the size as the charging port will be eliminated, thus making the entire design sleek.

We hope that we have created a product that no one has ever imagined before. This product will truly help patients in many ways.
