Leichteres Leben für Diabetiker   Nicole Schmiedel from Braunschweig University of Arts, Germany, has designed an insulin pump as a trendy-looking wristwatch. The insulin pump is electrically autonomous thanks to the use of piezo-electric technology originally developed for European satellites. In space applications they are used for micro-positioning and vibration damping of optics embedded on satellites, such as those incorporated in the MIDAS instrument onboard ESA’s Rosetta comet chaser.   German design student Nicole Schmiedel from Braunschweig University of Arts in Germany has created a trendy-looking wristwatch containing an innovative ultra-light insulin pump to help people with type 1 diabetes. The insulin pump is electrically autonomous thanks to the use of piezo-electric technology originally developed for European satellites. COR: Innovative Medizintechnik     To help people with type 1 diabetes the German design student Nicole Schmiedel has designed a novel insulin pump named COR as a trendy looking wristwatch. In the same line she also designed a lancet to contain test strips. Piezoelektrischer Wandler für Weltraumtechnik liefert Energie     Rosetta swung by Mars on 25 February 2007. 100 Milliwatt genügen     The innovative ultra-light insulin pump designed by Nicole Schmiedel as a wristwatch produces its own electricity thanks to the use of piezo-electric technology originally developed for European satellites.
