The present research proposes a device capable of delivering precise doses of insulin in a syringe and maintaining proper control of glucose levels through an insulin therapy algorithm. This will prevent inadequate administration of the hormone, reducing cases of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. In the current market, proposals for precise dosing have been found, such as the insulin injection pen, which is used by rotating the dose selector to obtain the required unit. The problem with this device is its fragility. On the other hand, there is the insulin pump, which is easy to use through software and allows the delivery of small amounts of insulin. However, it is an invasive device and has a high cost. The proposed device consists mainly of an electromechanical system and image processing. It also has a user-friendly interface that allows the user to enter the required data. Additionally, it offers the option of using an insulin therapy algorithm to assist in treatment initiation. Furthermore, the developed product includes a closed-loop flow that verifies the dosed volume provided by the electromechanical system. The equipment was validated by comparing the dosing level generated by the electromechanical system processing with the level obtained through manual methods using instruments and mathematical calculations. The maximum error rate reached in dosing volume was 0.01 ml.
