  • Patent number: 11957876
    Abstract: An automated blood glucose control system is configured to generate a backup therapy protocol comprising insulin therapy instructions derived from autonomously determined doses of insulin. The system generates a dose control signal using a control algorithm configured to autonomously determine doses of insulin to be infused into a subject for the purpose of controlling blood glucose of the subject based at least in part on a glucose level signal received from a glucose sensor. The system can track insulin therapy administered to the subject over a tracking period, including storing an indication of the autonomously determined doses of insulin delivered to the subject as basal insulin, as correction boluses of insulin, or as mealtime boluses of insulin. The system can generate a backup injection therapy protocol or a backup pump therapy protocol with insulin therapy instructions based at least in part on the insulin therapy administered to the subject over the tracking period.

  • Patent number: 11803367
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring the status of an ambulatory medical device and the health condition of a subject that receives therapy from the ambulatory medical device. The ambulatory medical device can have a touchscreen display user interface to receive input signals from a user and display alarm conditions associated with the status of an ambulatory medical device or health condition of a subject. The disclosed methods and systems can determine whether status information received from a monitoring system interface satisfies an alarm condition for the ambulatory medicament device or for the subject. If the status information satisfies an alarm condition, the touchscreen user interface can display one or more alarm status indicators corresponding to the alarm condition. The user can activate a therapy change interface on the touchscreen display and modify a control parameter of the ambulatory medical device that controls the therapy delivery to the subject.

  • Patent number: 11766518
    Abstract: A blood glucose control system is configured to modify therapy provided to a subject. The system can cause first therapy to be delivered by the blood glucose control system to a subject during a first therapy period. The first therapy can be delivered based at least in part on a first value of a control parameter used by a control algorithm to generate a dose control signal. The system can determine a first effect corresponding at least in part to the first therapy and autonomously generate a second value of the control parameter. The system can cause second therapy to be delivered by the blood glucose control system to the subject during a second therapy period, wherein the second therapy is delivered based at least in part on the second value of the control parameter.

  • Patent number: 11744947
    Abstract: A blood glucose control system is configured to modify therapy provide to a subject and determine whether the modified therapy results in a statistically significant improvement in glycemic control. The system obtains glycemic control information resulting from delivery of first therapy using a first value of a control parameter and determines a first effect corresponding to the first therapy. The control parameter is set to a second value that differs from the first value. The system obtains glycemic control information resulting from the delivery of the second therapy using the second value of the control parameter and determines a second effect corresponding to the second therapy. The system can perform a comparative assessment and determine whether the second value for the control parameter results in a statistically significant improvement in glycemic control for the subject.
