  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20190321553
    Abstract: A medical device system and related method of automatically adjusting parameters of an insulin delivery controller of an insulin infusion device are disclosed. The methodology obtains therapy-related data associated with operation of the insulin infusion device for a number of days in the past, including sensor glucose data associated with glucose levels of the user, and meal data associated with identified meals. The obtained therapy-related data is processed to generate a suitable pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model of the user, wherein the PK/PD model fits at least some of the sensor glucose data obtained for the user. The PK/PD model can be used to calculate at least one adjusted parameter of the insulin delivery controller, based on additional therapy-related data associated with further operation of the insulin infusion device. The insulin delivery controller can be instructed or controlled to adjust its settings in accordance with the model-calculated parameters.

  • Publication number: 20190321551
    Abstract: Disclosed here is a computer-based device and related methodology that manages use of a dual-mode insulin infusion device. The infusion device operates in a manual insulin delivery mode or an automated closed-loop insulin delivery mode. The methodology receives closed-loop pump data for a user of the infusion device, the closed-loop pump data including data indicating basal insulin delivered by the infusion device during operation in the automated closed-loop insulin delivery mode for at least one defined period of time. The methodology analyzes the closed-loop pump data to generate updated basal rate data for the user, and generates, from the updated basal rate data, a recommendation to adjust a manual-mode basal rate setting of the infusion device. In certain scenarios, the infusion device is controlled such that the manual-mode basal rate setting is adjusted in accordance with the recommendation.
