The new AID system is being developed to integrate the FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor of Abbott with CamDiab’s CamAPS FX mobile app, which connects with the mylife YpsoPump of Ypsomed, to offer a smart, automated approach for delivering insulin based on real-time glucose readings.
The FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor is claimed to be the world’s smallest and most precise continuous glucose monitoring sensor, offering readings minute by minute.
Designed to continuously screen the glucose levels of an individual, this new connected, smart wearable solution can automatically regulate and offer the correct quantity of insulin at the appropriate time, eliminating guesswork in insulin dosing.
Ypsomed CEO Simon Michel said: “When combined our mylife YpsoPump with the FreeStyle Libre 3 system and CamAPS FX advanced adaptive hybrid closed-loop app, we will be able to deliver an additional compact and lightweight AID system that is discreet and simple to use.”

Abbott diabetes care business senior vice-president Jared Watkin said: “Our goal is to make diabetes care as easy as possible, which is why Abbott continues to expand its team of insulin delivery partners, digital coaching and technology leaders.
