About the Artificial Pancreas Project
JDRF's Artificial Pancreas Project stands on the cusp of a breakthrough that represents the first step toward dramatically improving the lives of millions of people with type 1 diabetes: an artificial pancreas, an automated system to disperse insulin based on real-time changes in blood sugar levels.
JDRF's Artificial Pancreas Project brings together JDRF, founded 40 years ago by parents of children with type 1 and today the global leader in setting the agenda for diabetes research worldwide, and academic and business partners to aggressively work to speed the development and approval of automated systems for people with type 1 diabetes.
