Abstract

This paper explores the emerging field of human-embedded medical technology and its accompanying need for innovative User Interface (UI) design. Specifically, the paper argues that, in the medium term, augmented reality (AR) will convey user information most effectively to diabetes patients with embedded control systems for an artificial pancreas. The paper explores what types of cross-disciplinary information User Experience (UX) designers will need in order to design effective interfaces for diabetes patients with self-regulating artificial pancreas systems.
