  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20230406103
    Abstract: A system includes a display and a processor coupled to the display. The processor determines a position of a vehicle relative to a road lane and causes the display to depict a set of position indicators to convey the position of the vehicle relative to the road lane. In one state, the set of position indicators include a plurality of empty shape outlines and at least one filled shape outline. The processor also determines a position of a hazard relative to the vehicle and causes the display to depict a set of hazard position indicators to convey the position of the hazard relative to the vehicle. In one state, the set of hazard position indicators include a plurality of empty shape outlines and at least one filled shape outline.
