Authors' objectives: To examine the evidence on using closed loop systems and the artificial pancreas for the management of type 1 diabetes.

Authors' results and conclusions: Minuteful Kidney has the potential to save costs for the NHS but only if the abnormal tests are properly followed up and people go on to have the necessary further tests and treatments.
Authors' recommendations: Minuteful Kidney has the potential to save costs for the NHS but only if the abnormal tests are properly followed up and people go on to have the necessary further tests and treatments.
