Those who have diabetes are accustomed to the use of needles for insulin injection, but the conceptual 'NONNOS' smart insulin watch has been developed as an alternative that could transform the user experience.
The smartwatch wearable works on the basis of thermophoresis by releasing insulin that is absorbed through the skin rather than requiring a needle-based injection that can be painful and stressful for individuals. The wearable also eliminates the occurrence of allergic reactions that can come about when high concentrations of insulin are introduced into the body through a shot.
The conceptual 'NONNOS' smart insulin watch has been designed by nno-Partners and TINIKO, and sports a subtle design aesthetic that makes it ideal for everyday wear without looking too clinical or complex.
