<p>An infusion apparatus (1) for regulating blood sugar levels of a patient, the apparatus (1) comprising a controller (2), a sensor system (7) and an infusion system (8). Both the sensor system (7) and the infusion system (8) is at least in data communication with the controller (2). The sensor system (7) comprises a sensor (3) and a sensor interface (4). The sensor system (7) is operable to regularly measure the blood sugar level of a patient and provide a sensor signal to the controller (2) in response to the measured blood sugar level. The controller (2) then calculates the required infusion rate, in response to the received sensor signal, and provides a control signal to the infusion system (8). The infusion system (8) comprises a pump (5) and a pump interface (6) and is operable, in response to the control signal, to deliver medication for regulating blood sugar levels at the calculated infusion rate. This process continuously repeats to form a feedback loop, the loop executing in a manner such that the patient is medicated at predetermined intervals.</p> |
