This medical product system design improves children's experience using insulin pumps by proposing a dynamic closed-loop blood sugar control system. The wearable product integrates and simplifies the process of blood sugar monitoring and insulin injection in one device, complemented with a controller to display relevant data and customize operation allowing children to learn self-controlling their blood sugar level. In addition, the app design will enable parents to observe children's sugar control remotely, relieving their anxiety and providing medical knowledge for educational purposes.
