  • Publication number: 20230347046
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for monitoring characteristics of a fluid being delivered from a fluid medication delivery device to an infusion site associated with a user. Model creation and development comprises, for each of one or more associated fluid delivery operations, collecting data streams from various sensors, assigning a fluid delivery state to the fluid delivery operation, and determining fluid delivery characteristics based on waveforms representing the time series data streams, and generating retrievable models correlating determined fluid delivery characteristics with the assigned fluid delivery state. Model implementation includes collecting time series data streams corresponding to a current fluid delivery operation, identifying models based on a selected fluid delivery state and determined fluid delivery characteristics from the data streams, and determining a correction factor to account for a difference between observed and predicted fluid delivery values.

  • Publication number: 20230067652
    Abstract: A sensor system capable of detecting tissue counter pressure from patients that utilize infusion pumps to administer their medication is provided. Embodiments include a retrofitted piece that is placed between the user's infusion set and pump, as well as a “smart” infusion set configured for measuring characteristics of a fluid traveling therethrough. Hardware is provided that couples with the sensor to store, analyze, and compare data to distinguish between normal and non-normal injection/infusion profiles. An alert system notifies the user of a malfunction within the pump, within the infusion set, or at the injection/infusion site.
