摘要：
Provided is a flexible and conformal wearable, self-contained medical device (200). The medical device comprises an integral housing formed by a flexible upper portion (202) and a flexible lower portion (204) joined along their perimeters. The medical device is also provided in a plurality of shapes and configurations for increasing the flexibility and conformability of the housing. The components contained within the housing, such as a drug reservoir (106), printed circuit board (216), and power supply (118) are preferably constructed from flexible materials and are formed, connected and positioned according to the configuration of the housing in a manner for enhancing flexibility of the housing. A thermal bubble micropump (114) is provided for controlling flow of a drug from the flexible reservoir (106), that utilizes a thermal resistor provided locally to a thermal expansion fluid that causes a surrounding membrane to expand and displace a volume of drug to be provided to the user.
