  • Publication number: 20220336100
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques involve identifying a current state of a user interface of a medical device based at least in part on a portion of the medical device captured by an imaging device. The techniques also involve generating guidance information pertaining to the current state of the user interface. The techniques further involve presenting a guidance overlay including the guidance information pertaining to the current state of the user interface.

  • Patent number: 11367526
    Abstract: Medical devices and related augmented reality systems and methods are provided. A method of providing guidance to a patient using an electronic device having an imaging device associated therewith involves analyzing one or more images captured by the imaging device to identify image content indicative of a potential activity for the patient, determining, by a control system associated with the electronic device, one or more attributes for the potential activity, determining, by the control system, a predicted physiological response by the patient to the potential activity based at least in part on the one or more attributes, and providing, on a display associated with the electronic device, an augmented reality graphical user interface including a graphical indication influenced by the predicted physiological response.

  • Patent number: 11367528
    Abstract: Medical devices and related augmented reality systems and methods are provided. A method of operating an infusion device involves analyzing one or more images captured by an imaging device to identify image content indicative of an activity capable of influencing the physiological condition of the patient and in response to identifying the activity based at least in part on the one or more images, automatically adjusting delivery of the fluid to the patient based at least in part on the activity. An expected nutritional characteristic for a meal is determined based at least in part on the image content, and a delivery adjustment for delivering the fluid is determined based on the expected nutritional characteristic. A graphical indication of the delivery adjustment may also be provided using augmented reality.
