The first universal and price-neutral insulin pen

The challenge for many people with diabetes (PwD) is that they dont get the right dose of insulin at the right time. This can potentially give long term health issues, and even shorten their lifetime. Today, this is an everyday challenge for more than 13 million people that still inject insulin with a 100 years old outdated technology (syringes and needles) and cannot afford branded insulin and modern pens. GO-Pen ApS developed the 1st affordable, safe, and sustainable insulin injection system that fits the unmet health needs in the worlds most resource constrained population. The UNIPEN system innovation relies on the possibility of refilling a disposable cartridge with any kind of insulin available, resulting in a cost-competitive device to syringes solution improving the accuracy. Now, with the support of the EIC-A funding, we intend to refine the design of the UNIPEN device, demonstrate its design and clinical usability, and fine-tune the scale-up production.
