FAQS

What makes Nascence different?

Nascence is focused on adaptive, autonomous insulin delivery designed for real-world living. Our approach prioritises ease of use, predictive support, and reduced daily burden while maintaining user confidence and control.

Are Nascence's products commercially available?

Nascence Biomed is currently progressing through clinical development and commercialisation pathways, with ongoing work focused on regulatory approval and broader accessibility.

What is automated insulin delivery?

Automated insulin delivery (AID), another name for the technology used in an ‘artificial pancreas system’ (APS), integrates an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor with an algorithm to automatically adjust insulin delivery in real time.

What about Autonomous Auotmated Insulin Delivery?

Autonomous Automated Insulin Delivery (AAID) is level of AID that achieves the outcomes of AID without the declaration of food or the need for manual bolusing.

What is DIY AID?

A do-it-yourself artificial automated insulin system. These have been created by people affected by type one diabetes and made available, via open-source software and online support groups.

What is OpenAPS?

The first DIY AID System to have been developed. It has been written by people affected by diabetes with the aim of improving safety, glycaemic control and quality of life. See https://openaps.org

Is the technology clinically tested?

Yes. Nascence technology is built on multiple clinical studies conducted across New Zealand and Australia, including collaborations with leading diabetes research institutions.

What is sensor-augmented pump therapy? (SAPT)

Sensor-augmented pump therapy is the use of a continuous glucose monitor alongside an insulin pump for managing type one diabetes. It is the current standard of care that outcomes from automated insulin delivery trials are most commonly compared to. The main difference is that in SAPT there is no algorithm driving adjustments of insulin delivery; the person with type 1 diabetes does all insulin dosing adjustments manually.

Where can I learn more about AID?

This book is a fantastic resource to introduce you to commercial and do-it-yourself artificial pancreas system options.
