Abstract: Briefly, a kinkless infusion set has a setting control that engages a curved or helical cannula to simultaneously rotate the helical cannula as the helical cannula is moved toward a patients skin and then under the patient's skin to position the curved or helical cannula to a desired depth and position. In one example, the helical cannula is set between 3 mm and 5 mm under the patient's skin. Also, the curved or helical cannula may have side ports to allow medicine to be presented over a larger area for more effective therapeutic treatment. In some constructions the patient rotates the setting control, and in other cases the patient may push, pull or translate the setting control.

Abstract: A method for metabolic monitoring includes a processor receiving data associated with an individual from a metabolic sensor, the data comprising at least two of glucose data, ketone data and lactate data. The processor receives food intake information and physical activity information associated with the individual. The processor calculates a global metric and determines an individualized metric by correlating the food intake and the physical activity information to the global metric. The processor recommends a behavior modification based on the individualized metric.

Abstract: In implementations of adaptive systems for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), a computing device implements an adaptive system to receive glucose data describing user glucose values measured by a sensor of a CGM system, the sensor is inserted at an insertion site. The adaptive system accesses orientation data describing forces measured by an accelerometer of the CGM system, and the adaptive system identifies a location of the insertion site based on the orientation data. Modified glucose data is generated by modifying the user glucose values based on the location of the insertion site. The adaptive system generates an indication of the modified glucose data for display in a user interface of a display device.

Abstract: An infusion set has an insertion device that inserts a cannula and introducer needle fully into a patient, and then fully removes the introducer needle with one user motion. In some examples the insertion device does not permit partial insertion or incomplete introducer element removal.

Abstract: Briefly, an extended use infusion set is provided that substantially extends the therapeutic life of an infusion set, thereby increasing patient comfort, decreasing costs, and providing for increased efficacy for infused medicines and therapeutics. Generally, the extended use infusion set uses an insertion mechanism to position a cannula or needle at an initial depth and location for subcutaneous infusion of medication. At a later time, when the therapeutic effect of the medication has decreased below a threshold, the patient uses a reset mechanism to reposition the needle or cannula to a new depth and location. In this way, the therapeutic effect of the medication is reestablished, enabling the infusion set to be used effectively for a longer period of time. The infusion set also contemplates setting and resetting a biosensor.

Abstract: A painless infusion set has an affixed portion and may have a disposable or reusable insertion device portion. The infusion set or its inserter may have methods or mechanisms to utilize gas, liquid, gel, or solid within phase or through phase change with user-controlled variably slow insertion to reduce pain. In one example, a canister of a pain reducing material is in the insertion device. The pain reducing material can be dispensed onto the skin before, during, or after insertion of the needle or cannula to reduce pain.

Abstract: A method for metabolic monitoring includes a processor receiving glucose data associated with an individual from a metabolic sensor and food intake information associated with the individual. The processor calculates a plurality of global metrics. Each global metric is based on a glucose variability, a glucose load, and a post-prandial peak. The glucose variability is calculated from the glucose data associated with the individual. The processor determines an individualized metric by correlating the food intake information associated with the individual to the plurality of global metrics, and recommends a behavior modification based on the individualized metric.

Abstract: The present embodiments harness a wide variety of capabilities of modern smartphones, and combine these capabilities with information from a continuous glucose monitor to provide diabetics and related people with more information than the continuous glucose monitor can provide by itself. The increased information provides the diabetic with an increased likelihood of good diabetes management for better health.

Abstract: Methods and systems for encouraging interactions with a glucose monitoring system include incrementing a score and/or providing a reward based on a variety of different interactions with the glucose monitoring system. The interactions which improve the score may include initiating or changing displays, downloading data, setting operational parameters and other interactions that are independent of a user's glucose measurements. Encouraging these interactions can enhance success in maintaining healthy glucose concentrations.
