Abstract: A computer-implemented therapy management system is operated to collect patient data associated with medical device users. Treatment of the users is managed by healthcare professionals (HCPs), which include a customer HCP and a plurality of non-customer HCPs. The system receives a first set of attributes for a first individual patient or a first group of patients under care of the customer HCP, and a second set of attributes for a second individual patient or a second group of patients. The system identifies a first set of patient records associated with the customer HCP that satisfy the received first attributes, and a second set of patient records that satisfy the received second attributes, and compares patient outcomes from the first set of records against patient outcomes from the second set of records. A comparative therapy report is generated and communicated to a client device associated with the customer HCP.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques related to event-oriented predictions of glycemic responses. In some embodiments, the techniques may involve accessing a prediction model that correlates a person's glycemic responses to events and the person's physiological parameters during the events. The techniques may also involve obtaining a glucose level measurement of the person during an event. Additionally, the techniques may involve determining, based on the glucose level measurement, a physiological parameter of the person during the event. Furthermore, the techniques may involve predicting the person's glycemic response to the event based on applying the prediction model to the physiological parameter.
