  • Publication number: 20240148971
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may provide an on-body medicament delivery system that provides basal delivery of a medicament to a type 2 diabetes patient and that automatically performs medicament titration for the patient. The medicament delivery system performs medicament titration based on glucose level readings for the patient. These glucose levels may be provided wirelessly from a glucose sensor, such as a continuous glucose monitor, or may be entered manually by the patient into a management device, such as a smartphone running an application that provides a user interface for the patient to enter the glucose level readings. The medicament delivery system adjusts the basal medicament delivery rate/dose based on the glucose level readings for the patient. The adjustments may be performed by a programmatic mechanism, such as by computer programming instructions executing on a processor.

  • Publication number: 20240100253
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques, devices and systems that provide adjustments to parameter settings of an insulin delivery algorithm based on inputs from a number of generic sensor devices. A majority of the generic sensor devices provide sensor readings that are unused as inputs to a drug deliver algorithm. The generic sensor devices may be operable to detect characteristics, such as changes in a state of a user. A processor may evaluate a sensor reading provided by a particular sensor with respect to a sensor baseline reading for the particular sensor. Using the result of the evaluation, the processor may calculate an adjustment to a parameter setting or settings of a medication delivery algorithm. A dosage of medication may be modified based on the adjustment of the parameter setting or settings.

  • Patent number: 11935637
    Abstract: Disclosed are a device, a computer-readable medium, and techniques that provide an onboarding process and an adaptivity process for a drug delivery device. A processor executing an onboarding process determines whether a history of delivered insulin to a user meets certain sufficiency requirements. The onboarding process enables a processor to cause the drug delivery device to administer doses of insulin to a user according to an initial total daily insulin dose calculation that is determined based on the sufficiency of the insulin delivery history. The initial total daily insulin may be adapted according to the adaptivity process as new insulin delivery is collected. The insulin delivery history, when sufficient, may be used to set total daily insulin dosages that enable automated insulin delivery upon replacement of a drug delivery device. The adaptivity process may be implemented to modify an initial insulin delivery doses to provide adapted insulin delivery doses.

  • Publication number: 20240088963
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a method and an apparatus for determining radio channel multipath information and a related device. A server obtains reference signal received powers of a plurality of downlink beams, and determines a path angle and path strength of a propagation path from an antenna in a power angular spectrum cell indicated by each power angular spectrum cell identity to a grid indicated by each grid identity, based on an association relationship between the reference signal received powers of the plurality of downlink beams and the following: a grid identity, a serving cell identity, and a power angular spectrum cell. The server can determine the radio channel multipath information based on the reference signal received powers of the plurality of downlink beams, instead of depending on map and engineering parameter information. This helps improve accuracy of the radio channel multipath information.

  • Patent number: 11911596
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques to establish initial settings for an automatic insulin delivery device. An adjusted total daily insulin (TDI) factor usable to calculate a TDI dosage may be determined. The adjusted TDI factor may be a TDI per unit of a physical characteristic of the user (e.g., weight) times a reduction factor. The adjusted TDI factor may be compared to a maximum algorithm delivery threshold. Based on the comparison result, the application or algorithm may set a TDI dosage and output a control signal. Blood glucose measurement values may be collected from a sensor over a period of time. A level of glycated hemoglobin of the blood may be determined based on the obtained blood glucose measurement values. In response to the level of glycated hemoglobin, the set TDI dosage may be modified. A subsequent control signal including the modified TDI dosage may be output to actuate delivery of insulin.

  • Patent number: 11904140
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments provide medicament delivery devices that use cost functions in their control systems to determine medicament dosages. The cost function may have a medicament cost component and a performance cost component. The exemplary embodiments may use cost functions having medicament cost components that scale asymmetrically for different ranges of inputs (i.e., different candidate medicament dosages). The variance in scaling for different input ranges provides added flexibility to tailor the medicament cost component to the user and thus provide better management of medicament delivery to the user and better conformance to a performance target. The exemplary embodiments may use a cost function that has a medicament cost component (such as an insulin cost component) of zero for candidate dosages for a range of candidate dosages (e.g., below a reference dosage).

  • Patent number: 11883632
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system, methods and computer-readable medium products that provide safety constraints for an insulin-delivery management program. Various examples provide safety constraints for a control algorithm-based drug delivery system that provides automatic delivery of a drug based on sensor input. Glucose measurement values may be received at regular time intervals from a sensor. A processor may predict future glucose values based on prior glucose measurement values. The safety constraints assist in safe operation of the drug delivery system during various operational scenarios. In some examples, predicted future glucose values may be used to implement safety constraints that mitigate under-delivery or over-delivery of the drug while not overly burdening the user of the drug delivery system and without sacrificing performance of the drug delivery system. Other safety constraints are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240009392
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may determine anticipated basal insulin delivery action to a user from an insulin delivery device over a future time window. Indications of the anticipated basal insulin delivery action over the future time window may be output to the user. The exemplary embodiments may determine the anticipated basal insulin delivery action over the future time window based on a rate of change (ROC) of glucose level of the user by the insulin delivery device, a most recent (“current”) glucose level for the user and insulin on board (IOB) for the user. The exemplary embodiments may also determine whether the user is likely to experience a undesired high glucose level (e.g., hyperglycemia) and/or an undesired low glucose level (e.g., hypoglycemia) during the future time window. The exemplary embodiments may output recommendations based on the projected glucose levels of the user over the future time window.

  • Publication number: 20230372613
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments may employ a glucose prediction model (GPM) that is tailored to a user to account for insulin sensitivity or insulin insensitivity. The exemplary embodiments may predict future glucose levels based on past glucose levels for the user. Specifically, the GPM in exemplary embodiments may predict the future glucose level of the user as a weighted sum of most recent glucose level readings from the user. The exemplary embodiments may employ linear regression analysis to determine the values of the weights. These weights customize the GPM of the user based on the user's most recent glucose level history. Due to the customization, the GPM may more accurately predict future glucose levels of the user. As a result, the AID may exhibit better glucose level control for the user. The GPM of the exemplary embodiments may be updated on an ongoing basis.
