Abstract
The automated insulin delivery (AID) device known as an artificial pancreas (AP) contains a closed-loop feedback controller that enables glucose management for those with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The AP system is comprised of two elements: devices and software. Devices include insulin delivery devices and glucose sensors, while software includes the user interface and the control algorithm. Decision support systems (DSS) also support treatment decisions for those with diabetes mellitus if the user does not use a closed-loop system. This chapter is divided into three sections, beginning with a description of controller components, design objectives, the challenges and the limitations of AID devices. This discussion is followed by recent advances in closed-loop clinical trials, common control algorithms, and clinical challenges. Finally, general expectations for future developments within AID engineering and clinical translation are outlined.
