Patent number: 11883632Abstract: Disclosed are a system, methods and computer-readable medium products that provide safety constraints for an insulin-delivery management program. Various examples provide safety constraints for a control algorithm-based drug delivery system that provides automatic delivery of a drug based on sensor input. Glucose measurement values may be received at regular time intervals from a sensor. A processor may predict future glucose values based on prior glucose measurement values. The safety constraints assist in safe operation of the drug delivery system during various operational scenarios. In some examples, predicted future glucose values may be used to implement safety constraints that mitigate under-delivery or over-delivery of the drug while not overly burdening the user of the drug delivery system and without sacrificing performance of the drug delivery system. Other safety constraints are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2023Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: INSULET CORPORATIONInventors: Jason O'Connor, Joon Bok Lee, Trang Ly, Yibin Zheng, Thomas Arnold Peyser, Jennifer Lena Schneider
