CoverD.

Our project is intended to improve insulin adherence to diabetic patients via a small machine called CoverD which will be able to measure blood glucose using non-invasive method, administer insulin, record and send data to the health care facilities for follow up of the patient.

Our solution will improve the life of diabetic patients around the World as the world is facing major challenge of non communicable diseases among them Diabetes.

We are solving the problem related to poor adherence to insulin in management of diabetes caused by time consuming while injecting or measuring insulin before injection, lack of injecting instructions and needle phobia related to frequent check ups made by the patient.

We are serving patients living with diabetes who are on insulin therapy and our solution will improve their drug adherence as it will be less painful and not stressful to use the small machine we will be giving them.

Our CoverD. machine will be able to measure patient blood glucose using non invasive method by combining ultrasonographic, electromagnetic and thermal principles; administer insulin in less painful way and record patient data for follow up by his or her doctor.

Our solution is innovative as it will help the patient to measure his or her blood glucose without using the standard glucometer which requires to use needle and strips which are expensive. Our machine will also at the same time administer insulin to the patient. 

Our machine will be software build based that will link it to the server in the hospital and also our blood glucose sensor will use the combination of ultrasonography, thermal and electromagnetic technology.

Our machine will address insulin adherence problem as it will reduce pain related to testing blood glucose and administering insulin and will reduce fear, cost and knowledge which contribute to poor adherence.

Our team is made of seven people.

Our team is made of five students in medicine and two students in IT.

Our key customers are patients living with diabetes and are currently on insulin therapy. It will improve life qualities of those patients by reducing the health care costs.

We will ask for partnership with governement through minister of IT and Health. Also some non governmental organisations.

Solve will provide with mentorship and link to different organizations that will help in funding for our solution.
