  • Patent number: 11583631
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling operation of a medical device that regulates delivery of a fluid medication to a user. The method receives meter-generated values that are indicative of a physiological characteristic of the user, and are produced in response to operation of an analyte meter device. The method obtains sensor-generated values that are indicative of the physiological characteristic of the user, and are produced in response to operation of a continuous analyte sensor device, different than the analyte meter device. The medical device is operated in different modes when: a valid meter-generated value is available; a valid meter-generated value is unavailable and a current sensor-generated value satisfies first quality criteria; or a valid meter-generated value is unavailable and the current sensor-generated value satisfies second quality criteria but does not satisfy the first quality criteria.

  • Publication number: 20210178066
    Abstract: A method of operating a system having a fluid pump mechanism and a related controller involves: operating the system in a first mode to automatically deliver the medication in accordance with a therapy control algorithm; and receiving stress-identifying data generated at least in part from gesture data for the user. The gesture data is provided by a gesture-based physical behavior detection system. The method determines, from the stress-identifying data, that the user is under stress while the medication delivery system is operating in the first mode. In response to detecting stress, the system is operated in a second mode to automatically deliver the medication to the user in accordance with a stress-correlated therapy control algorithm. The second mode compensates for user stress as determined from the stress-identifying data.

  • Patent number: 10496797
    Abstract: A method of controlling an insulin infusion device is presented here. The method can be implemented in a suitably configured electronic device, on an electronic storage medium, or the like. In accordance with certain embodiments, the method evaluates the operational integrity of a glucose sensor that measures sensor glucose values for a user of the insulin infusion device, and calculates a sensor integrity metric based on the evaluation. The calculated sensor integrity metric is used to adjust the aggressiveness of a closed-loop therapy algorithm that is used to control a closed-loop operating mode of the insulin infusion device. The insulin infusion device is operated in the closed-loop operating mode in accordance with the adjusted therapy setting.

  • Patent number: 10478554
    Abstract: A device for delivering fluid to a user includes a housing, a drive motor assembly in the housing, a force sensor, and an electronics module. The drive motor assembly regulates delivery of fluid by actuating a piston of a fluid reservoir, and the force sensor generates output levels in response to force imparted thereto during, for example, fluid delivery operations. The electronics module processes the output levels of the force sensor to assess the operating health of the force sensor, to check for occlusions in the fluid delivery path, and to monitor the seating status of the fluid reservoir.
