insulin pump with a built-in MP3 player?
I read an interesting article about a strange diabetes-tech patent from Bigfoot Biomedical: "Portable Infusion Pump and Media Player", filed in 2012 and approved in 2016.

In short: the idea was exactly what it sounds like - an insulin pump that could also play music. The patent describes a compact device that would deliver medication and provide entertainment. It included concepts like a hard drive, headphone jack, and music playback interface. Old, but interesting
