  • Publication number: 20210260289
    Abstract: Machine learning in an artificial pancreas is described. An artificial pancreas system may include a wearable glucose monitoring device, an insulin delivery system, and a computing device. Broadly speaking, the wearable glucose monitoring device provides glucose measurements of a person continuously. The artificial pancreas algorithm, which may be implemented at the computing device, determines doses of insulin to deliver to the person based on a variety of aspects for the purpose of maintaining the person's glucose within a target range, as indicated by those glucose measurements. The insulin delivery system then delivers those determined doses to the person. As the artificial pancreas algorithm determines insulin doses for the person over time and effectiveness of the insulin doses to maintain the person's glucose level in the target range is observed, an underlying model of the artificial pancreas algorithm may be updated to better determine insulin doses.

  • Publication number: 20200316296
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.
