Professor Muhammad Hussain from Purdue University is leading a team of electrical and computer engineers working on developing a wearable device capable of rapid epinephrine administration.
The device integrates advanced sensors, AI-driven decision-making and automated drug delivery with the goal of ensuring rapid epinephrine administration. The researchers are also focused on the device’s manufacturability, security and integration for scalability.
Hussain said the research aims to shrink the potentially dangerous gap between the start of an anaphylactic event and the administration of epinephrine to treat it.
