InsuFlo
Designing the interface of an insulin pump for diabetes.
Summary
During my internship at IISc, I worked with the InsuFlo team to design the interface of an insulin pump to improve its accessibility for people with diabetes. Due to the sensitive nature of medical device development, the details of my work are under NDA. Please reach out to me directly if you’d like to discuss my role and contributions.
My responsibilities spanned research, design, and testing of the device interface. I designed over 400 screens for the pump, built a scalable design system, and collaborated with a cross-functional team to ensure usability, safety, and accessibility.
Background
An insulin pump is a medical device that delivers controlled doses of insulin via a subcutaneous method. For patients, its safety, usability, and reliability are critical. Since the device directly affects health outcomes, its design must prioritize human-centered interaction.
We followed a User-in-the-Loop Engineering Design (UILED) methodology, incorporating continuous stakeholder involvement through interviews, surveys, and iterative testing. Patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals were engaged throughout the process to ensure the interface met therapeutic, safety, and user needs.
