  • Patent number: 11158413
    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.

  • Patent number: 11147919
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210228805
    Abstract: Medical devices and related systems and operating methods are provided. A method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering fluid influencing a physiological condition to a patient involves obtaining an event indication, such as a meal indication, determining an initial bolus amount based on the event indication, and determining predicted values for the physiological condition of the patient during a time window into the future based at least in part on the initial bolus amount. When the predicted values violate a threshold during the time window, the control system identifies an adjusted bolus amount that results in the predicted values for the physiological condition satisfying the threshold during the time window from within a search space defined by the initial bolus amount and operates an actuation arrangement of the infusion device to deliver the adjusted bolus amount of the fluid to the patient.

  • Publication number: 20210093783
    Abstract: A method of controlling an insulin infusion device involves controlling the device to operate in an automatic basal insulin delivery mode, obtaining a blood glucose measurement for the user, and initiating a correction bolus procedure when: the measurement exceeds a correction bolus threshold value; and a maximum basal insulin infusion rate is reached during the automatic basal insulin delivery mode. The correction bolus procedure calculates an initial correction bolus amount, and scales the initial amount to obtain a final correction bolus amount, such that a predicted future blood glucose level resulting from simulated delivery of the final correction bolus amount exceeds a low blood glucose threshold level. The final amount is delivered to the user during operation in the automatic basal insulin delivery mode.
