Our client wants us to develop an alternative method of drug delivery. The product should utilize micro-fluidics to deliver a constant flow rate between ten and fifty micro liters per hour with minimal error or fluctuation for no less than eight consecutive hours. The design requirements are to build a , small, disposable, light, and inexpensive pump that is comfortable and unnoticeable when worn.
