  • Publication number: 20210213200
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210106755
    Abstract: A glucose control system employs adaptation of a glucose target (set-point) control variable in controlling delivery of insulin to a subject to maintain euglycemia. The glucose target adapts based on trends in actual glucose level (e.g., measured blood glucose in the subject), and/or computed doses of a counter-regulatory agent such as glucagon. An adaptation region with upper and lower bounds for the glucose target may be imposed. Generally the disclosed techniques can provide for robust and safe glucose level control. Adaptation may be based on computed doses of a counter-regulatory agent whether or not such agent is actually delivered to the subject, and may be used for example to adjust operation in a bihormonal system during periods in which the counter-regulatory agent is not available for delivery.

  • Patent number: 10973979
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210093777
    Abstract: A multi-medicament infusion system (10) for preventing the mischanneling of medicaments may include an infusion pump (12), medicament reservoirs (16A,16B), a multi-channel lumen (18), and an infusion set (20). The medicament reservoirs may be sized and shaped differently such that the medicament reservoirs can only be inserted into the infusion pump in a unique configuration. The multi-channel lumen may include connectors that mate to corresponding connectors on the infusion pump and the infusion set only in a unique configuration. Because the various parts of the multi-infusion system may only be connected in the unique configuration, the expected medicaments may be administered appropriately and channeled to the correct infusion sites.

  • Publication number: 20210093781
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein relate to cancelling a modification of medicament delivery initiated by a user. A display of a therapy control element can be generated on an interface, such as a touchscreen. The therapy control element permits a user to modify a control parameter used in a control algorithm for generating a dose control signal for delivering medicament to a subject. Responsive to receiving the modification, the control parameter may be modified at a first time from a first setting to a second setting based on an indication of the modification to the therapy control element. Responsive to receiving a restore gesture on the touchscreen at a second time, the control parameter may be restored back to the first setting. This restore gesture may be a swipe gesture performed by a user.
