  • Publication number: 20260172935
    Abstract: The present disclosure regards an electronic device for insulin delivery management. The electronic device includes an antenna and a processor. The processor is configured to operate in a first communication mode and then operate in a second communication mode responsive to determining that one or more communication criteria are satisfied. The first communication mode involves communicating via the antenna with first and second peripheral devices according to respective first and duty cycles. And the second communication mode involves communicating via the antenna with the first and second peripheral devices according to respective first and second adjusted duty cycles. The first and second duty cycles are different from the first and second adjusted duty cycles, respectively.

  • Patent number: 12496395
    Abstract: In an infusion pump system that includes a pump that may have a user interface for pump programming, one or more smartphones or other remote control devices that interface with the infusion pump, and/or an automated insulin delivery algorithm, there is a potential conflict between commands such as boluses being programmed on multiple devices and/or calculated by the AID algorithm at the same time. In order to avoid low glucose levels that could result from delivering multiple boluses from these various sources when only one bolus is needed, systems and methods disclosed herein provide a bolus permissions and prioritization scheme that prioritizes boluses programmed with the infusion pump and one or more remote control devices and calculated by a closed loop delivery algorithm.
