  • Publication number: 20240071593
    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.

  • Patent number: 5606700
    Abstract: A system for allowing a first computer program in a first language to cooperatively process with a second object oriented computer program in another language is described. A generic send message function is interposed between the first and second computer programs to control the exchange of messages. In order to achieve this the generic send message function has access to a description of the classes in the second computer program. Having access to such a description allows the generic send message function to efficiently transfer messages between the different computer programs, and also provides the ability for the creation of new objects of classes spanning environmental boundaries.
