If you were designing a pump, what features would it have?

[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 979236, member: 30007"] Given the range of pumps available, and the different features of all of them, I thought it would be an interesting thought experiment to see what were features that people wanted to see in pumps. Feel free to add as long a list as you want! For me, the following features would make a good pump, with standard features implemented in the most appropriate component. There are arguments for either the remote, the pump or a smart phone app: [B]Standard Pump Features [/B] Full remote control Multiple Basal Rates Standard, Extended, Multiwave and Super Bolus modes TBR in 5% intervals Minimum increments 0.01u Open bluetooth protocol CGM integration for Smartguard like application Upgradeable CPU ROM to allow for BiAP future-proofing Basal Rate maintenance on pump Smartphone integration All data uploadable to a standard platform not a manufacturer proprietary platform [B]Tubed Pump customisations [/B] 300u reservoir Luer Lock connector (nothing proprietary thanks) [B]Patch Pump customisations [/B] 150u reservoir Angled or perpendicular cannula [B]Remote control[/B] Full pump control system (not just bolusing) Smartphone performance level CGM integration Blood test meter Data reports including BG trends, variance, etc and overlays with carb and bolus values Fundamentally, it should be a system that can communicate with either of the pump hardware options using a standardised remote/software package. I'm sure it's not an exhaustive list as I think there must be some things I've missed. At the moment, all of these items are not available from a single manufacturer, which is slightly frustrating.
