  • Publication number: 20210146046
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adjusting long acting insulin medicament dosages for a subject. A plurality of timestamped glucose measurements of the subject is obtained. A titration glucose level (246) is computed as a measure of central tendency (244, 268, 274) of a titration subset of small glucose measurements (240, 269, 273) identified within the timestamped glucose measurements, wherein the measure of central tendency represents a measure of small glucose measurements for the primary time window. A long acting insulin medicament dosage (216) is adjusted or maintained based upon the obtained titration glucose level (246).

  • Publication number: 20210142877
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring adherence to an insulin medicament dosage regimen for a subject. A data set comprising a plurality of metabolic events the subject engaged in within a period of time is obtained. Each respective metabolic event comprises a timestamp of the event and a characterization that is one of insulin regimen adherent and insulin regimen nonadherent. A plurality of primary adherence values is calculated, each respective adherence value representing a corresponding time window in a plurality of time windows within the period of time. Each time window is of a same first fixed duration. Each respective adherence value is computed by dividing a number of insulin regimen adherent events by a total number of events that have timestamps in the time window corresponding to the respective adherence value. The adherence values across the period of time are communicated thereby monitoring adherence to the insulin regimen.

  • Publication number: 20210124028
    Abstract: A monitoring device performs a method of detecting a need for maintenance of an exercise machine comprising a time-of-flight, ToF, sensor. The method comprises obtaining a measurement signal from the ToF sensor at a predefined operating condition of the exercise machine. Based on the measurement signal, the method determines a measured distance between the ToF sensor and a reflective element in the exercise machine. The measured distance has been found to be responsive to accumulation of deposits on the ToF sensor and is thus evaluated by the method to detect a need for cleaning. The method thereby enables preventive maintenance.

  • Publication number: 20200305788
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adjusting a standing insulin medicament dosage regimen for a subject. Fasting events are Device for adjusting a standing insulin regimen identified using autonomous timestamped glucose measurements of the subject in a first data set. A second data set, from one or more insulin pens used to apply the standing regimen, comprises records, each record comprising a timestamped event specifying an amount of injected insulin medicament. Each fasting event is characterized as adherent or nonadherent. A fasting event is adherent when the second data set includes one or more records that temporally and quantitatively establish adherence with the standing regimen during the fasting event. Conversely, a fasting event is nonadherent when the second data set fails to temporally and quantitatively establish adherence with the standing regimen.
