  • Publication number: 20240041221
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and techniques for detecting presence of leaks and/or holes in bed systems. An example system can include a bed system having a mattress to support a user laying on the bed system, at least one sensor that can be configured to collect pressure data on the bed system, and a computer system having a processor and memory. The computer system can be configured to: receive the pressure data that is collected by the at least one sensor, provide, as input, the pressure data to a model to detect presence of a leak in the mattress of the bed system based at least in part on the pressure data, receive, as output from the model, data indicating the detected presence of a leak in the mattress, and return a message indicating the detected presence of a leak in the mattress.

  • Publication number: 20230338651
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to infusion devices and alerts. In some embodiments, the techniques may involve identifying an amount of future insulin deliveries to be delivered by an infusion device. The techniques may further involve determining a homeostasis metric by predicting a change in a current glucose measurement value based on accounting for metabolism of a current amount of active insulin and the amount of future insulin deliveries. The techniques may further involve generating an alert based at least in part on the homeostasis metric.

  • Publication number: 20220288313
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques related to regulation of insulin on board. In some examples, the techniques may involve obtaining a glucose measurement value generated from a sensing arrangement. The techniques may also involve determining that the glucose measurement value is a valid glucose measurement value. Furthermore, the techniques may involve maintaining a threshold amount of insulin on board (IOB) based on regulating insulin delivery. Maintaining the threshold amount of IOB may be performed responsive to the valid glucose measurement value being less than a threshold glucose value.

  • Patent number: 10525200
    Abstract: Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering fluid to a user involves obtaining a sequence of measurements indicative of a condition of the user that is influenced by the fluid and modifying one or more unusable measurements in the sequence using one or more other usable measurements in the sequence to obtain a modified sequence of measurements. The method continues by determining a predicted value for the condition of the user at a time in the future based at least in part on the modified sequence of measurements and operating the infusion device in a manner that is influenced by the predicted value.
