Publication number: 20240358919Abstract: Systems comprising: an analyte sensor for providing an analyte signal representative of an analyte level; a controller in data communication with the analyte sensor and programmed to provide a recommended medication dose based on the analyte level and a medication type, the controller comprising a user interface for inputting the medication type; and a model-based safety mechanism integrated with the controller for evaluating the recommended medication dose. Wherein the model-based safety mechanism overrides the recommended medication dose and provides a safety medication dose when the model-based safety mechanism detects a risk of insulin deprivation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: Erwin S.

Publication number: 20240350727Abstract: A medical device includes an antenna external to a case, package, or encapsulant for the electronic systems of the medical device. In one embodiment, a diabetes infusion pump is enclosed within a metal case, the pump including a processor and a communication module for wireless communications. An antenna is disposed in the delivery tubing of the pump outside the case with an antenna feed interconnecting the external antenna with the internal communication module. In another aspect, a thin film antenna is formed on the outer surf ace of the case in which a physiological parameter sensor, such as a glucose sensor, is enclosed. Multiple antennas may be used for communications on different frequencies.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: October 24, 2024Inventors: Nathan C. Crouther, Marc B.

Publication number: 20240225559Abstract: A system and method provides a glucose report for determining glycemic risk based on an ambulatory glucose profile of glucose data over a time period, a glucose control assessment based on median and variability of glucose, and indicators of high glucose variability. Time of day periods are shown at which glucose levels can be seen. A median glucose goal and a low glucose line provide coupled with glucose variability provide a view into effects that raising or lowering the median goal would have. Likelihood of low glucose, median glucose compared to goal, and variability of glucose below median provide probabilities based on glucose data. Patterns can be seen and provide guidance for treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2024Publication date: July 11, 2024Inventors: Erwin Satrya BUDIMAN, Kenneth J. DONIGER, Timothy C. DUNN, Nathan C. CROUTHER, Glenn BERMAN, Howard A. WOLPERT

Publication number: 20240122552Abstract: Generally, methods of analyte monitoring management, and articles of manufacturing related thereto, are provided. The methods include receiving analyte measurement data and analyzing the analyte measurement data for health related parameters. Recommendations are determined for creating or modifying a treatment program based on the analysis, and provided within a user-interface that enables a user to create or modify the treatment program. Further, generally, methods of for managing analyte measurement data, and articles of manufacturing related thereto, are provided. The methods include receiving analyte measurement data that represent data collected over a time period, and analyzing the analyte measurement data for analyte episodes within that time period. Threshold based episodes and/or rate-of-change based episodes may be determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Nathan C. Crouther, Timothy C. Dunn
