Despite advancements in the development of the artificial pancreas, barriers in the form of proprietary data and communication protocols of diabetes devices have made the integration of these components challenging. The Artificial Pancreas Standards and Technical Platform Project is an initiative funded by the JDRF Canadian Clinical Trial Network with the goal of developing device communication standards for the interoperability of diabetes devices. Stakeholders from academia, industry, regulatory agencies, and medical and patient communities have been engaged in advancing this effort. In this article, we describe this initiative along with the process involved in working with the standards organizations and stakeholders that are key to ensuring effective standards are developed and adopted. Discussion from a special session of the 12th Annual Diabetes Technology Meeting is also provided.
尽管人工胰腺的开发取得了进展,但糖尿病设备的专有数据和通信协议形式的障碍使得这些组件的集成具有挑战性。人工胰腺标准和技术平台项目是一项由JDRF加拿大临床试验网络资助的倡议,其目标是为糖尿病设备的互操作性制定设备通信标准。来自学术界、行业、监管机构以及医疗和患者社区的利益相关者参与了推进这项工作。在本文中,我们描述了这项倡议以及与标准组织和利益相关者合作的过程,这些对于确保制定和采用有效的标准至关重要。还提供了第12届年度糖尿病技术会议特别会议的讨论内容。
