Explore AID System Demos & Simulations

Several automated insulin delivery (AID) manufacturers offer free digital demos that let clinicians and people with diabetes explore selected screens and workflows without connecting to a working insulin pump. Use this resource to find available demos and to understand what they can, and cannot, help you evaluate.

AID = automated insulin delivery · CGM = continuous glucose monitoring. These are interface demonstrations, not simulations of how an algorithm behaves in real life.

What a demo can and cannot tell you

Manufacturer demos vary in how closely they mirror the current commercial product. Some illustrate an interface without reproducing every feature, and at least one manufacturer states its demo is not identical to the shipping app. Use them for what they show well, and confirm everything else against the current user guide and manufacturer-approved training.

A demo may help someone explore	A demo usually cannot show
Menu organization and terminology	How the algorithm responds in real life
The steps shown for selected tasks	How often alerts or connection problems may occur during everyday use
How meals or boluses are entered	Physical wearability, insertion, or infusion-set experience
Whether the screens and menus appear easy for the person to navigate	Whether the system works with the person's phone or accessibility needs
Questions to bring to a shared decision-making visit	Whether the system is clinically appropriate for that person
Differences in how systems are navigated	How much training and ongoing support the person may need, and insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs

Available manufacturer demos

Links open each manufacturer's official demo, simulator, or virtual pump portal. Each is labeled by its maker for demonstration only. Systems are listed alphabetically. Inclusion does not indicate that danatech recommends one system over another.

How to use these demos. Use them to preview screens with a person who is considering an AID system, identify questions or concerns, and compare how selected tasks are completed. Before choosing or starting a system, confirm clinical appropriateness, phone and sensor compatibility, coverage, supply requirements, and training needs.

iLet® Bionic Pancreas

Beta Bionics

Browser-based demo (no separate download) of the iLet interface and its meal-announcement workflow. Users do not enter carbohydrate grams, but they must judge whether the meal contains about their usual amount of carbohydrate, more, or less.

Platform: web-based, phone or computer

iLet Simulator

MiniMed™ 780G

MiniMed

A browser-based demonstration of selected MiniMed 780G pump screens and SmartGuard features (MiniMed's automated insulin-adjustment technology). The demo does not reproduce every function and is not a substitute for training. MiniMed notes it may also be used for virtual training after a system is purchased.

Platform: web-based

780G Virtual Pump Demo

MiniMed™ Flex Simulator App

MiniMed

A downloadable app that previews the app-controlled MiniMed Flex system, which received FDA clearance in March 2026. Because Flex is screenless and managed entirely from a phone, this app is how users explore its interface.

Platform: iOS / Android app (requires an Apple or Google account to download)

MiniMed Simulator (iOS) MiniMed Simulator (Android)

Omnipod® 5

Insulet Corporation

An interactive overview of selected Omnipod 5 screens and functions, including setup, bolus entry, and SmartAdjust technology (Insulet's automated insulin-delivery feature). Insulet notes that simulator functions are limited and do not fully depict the system's capabilities.

Platform: iOS / Android app (requires an Apple or Google account to download)

Omnipod 5 Simulator (iOS) Omnipod 5 Simulator (Android)

Tandem t:slim X2™ & Mobi

Tandem Diabetes Care

Two demos: the t:simulator app (Tandem's demo of the t:slim X2's on-pump touchscreen, which shows its Control-IQ+ automation), and a browser-based demo of the Mobi pump, which is controlled from a phone app rather than an on-pump screen. Available demonstrations and represented software may vary; Tandem notes the Mobi demo is not identical to the shipping app and should not be relied on for instruction in using the pump.

Platform: virtual demo portal + app

t:slim X2 & Mobi virtual demos Mobi simulator

twiist™

Sequel Med Tech

A web-based interactive demo (with an optional orientation video) that previews selected twiist app screens and workflows. The twiist system itself supports carbohydrate entry and insulin delivery from compatible Apple Watch models.

Platform: web-based demo

Scope of use. These demos may help users explore interface design and selected device workflows, but they should not be used to make insulin-dosing or other treatment decisions. They do not reproduce the full experience of wearing, operating, or responding to an AID system, and they do not replace the current user guide or manufacturer-required training.

These manufacturer-operated demos are provided for educational reference. They do not deliver insulin, reproduce every system function, or replace the current user guide and required product training. Links and demo features may change; verify current availability before sharing a demo with a person.
