Reimagining Diabetes Management with Apollo
Apollo is a consolidated, all-in-one wearable medical device that combines a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) with a needle-free, automated insulin pump. Designed specifically for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)—a chronic autoimmune condition that destroys insulin-producing beta cells—Apollo addresses the daily burden of glucose monitoring and insulin administration through a unified and patient-friendly solution.
Current diabetes management tools are fragmented: patients often wear a separate CGM and insulin pump, both requiring frequent manual inputs and invasive needle applications. These systems introduce discomfort, lag in insulin response time, and increased cognitive load—especially in pediatric patients.
Apollo simplifies this experience by integrating continuous glucose sensing with real-time insulin delivery through a high-pressure, rotating micro-jet system that eliminates the need for traditional needles and cannulas. The device automatically adjusts insulin levels based on CGM data and rotates injection sites to minimize skin trauma. Its design significantly reduces the number of decisions patients must make daily, enabling safer, more consistent glucose control and improving overall quality of life.
The Problem
Type 1 Diabetes is a lifelong autoimmune condition in which the body attacks insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Individuals with T1D must constantly monitor their blood glucose levels and manually calculate insulin doses throughout the day. Many rely on finger-prick meters, CGMs, and insulin pumps—each requiring separate application, management, and often painful needle insertions.
This complexity can lead to poor compliance, higher risk of hypoglycemic events, and increased emotional burden—especially among young children and their caregivers. The separation between data monitoring (CGM) and insulin delivery (pump), combined with traditional needle-based injection systems, continues to present a physical and emotional barrier to effective diabetes management.
Our Design
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
About Us!
Apollo – A Smarter, Safer Insulin Pump for Kids
Apollo is a compact, all-in-one wearable device created to make life easier for families managing Type 1 Diabetes. Designed with children in mind, Apollo combines two essential components—a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) and an automated insulin pump—into one streamlined, intelligent system. It monitors blood sugar levels in real time and delivers insulin automatically when needed, reducing the burden of constant monitoring and decision-making.
At the heart of Apollo is a Raspberry Pi 4, which serves as the device’s central processor. It continuously reads glucose data and follows built-in safety protocols to determine when and how much insulin should be delivered. If a child’s blood sugar drops too low, the system pauses insulin delivery and notifies the user. A manual bolus button also lets users request an extra dose of insulin when it’s safe to do so.
What sets Apollo apart is its needle-free insulin delivery system. Instead of relying on a traditional needle and plastic cannula, it uses high-pressure microjet technology to deliver insulin just beneath the skin—painlessly and without the fear many children associate with needles. A rotating injection site mechanism ensures insulin is distributed to different areas, promoting healthy absorption and reducing skin complications over time.
Apollo’s data syncs to a mobile dashboard that allows parents and clinicians to track trends. With customizable outer shells—including Marvel and Star Wars themes—Apollo brings both function and comfort to diabetes care.
At its core, Apollo is about empowering families—with safety, simplicity, and imagination.
