PRISMA is a project funded by the European Commission in the Horizon 2021 framework, under the EIC Transition to Open program. Within the EU-funded PRISMA project, a multidisciplinary team will develop a revolutionary thin-film micropump realized with novel ceria-based oxides actuating materials in the frame of the FET- OPEN BioWings project, which can be used as an innovative pumping system in wearable insulin delivery devices for the treatment of diabetes. The long term goal is to allow the realisation of multi-drug delivery systems, making real the much-lauded multi-hormone treatment.

A NEW PUMP
Aim of the project
The main objective of this project is to validate the pump and its manufacturing process in a real operating environment, proving to system integrators that all specifications are consistently met to pave the way for the post-project system integration and clinical validation, through the following operational objectives:
Pump modelling and simulation
Set-up of the pump fabrication tools for large scale manufacturing
Fabrication of the pump and integration
Integration and validation in real operating conditions
Workpackages & Milestones
Starting in July 2022 and for the following 36 months, 4 partners will work together to turn this technology into a game changing product. Discover the overall roadmap to deliver a micro-mechanical pump for next generation insulin delivery system:
