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.

An input of at least one generalized parameter corresponding to a user may be used to set one or more of the number of specific parameters of the automated insulin delivery algorithm based on the inputted at least one generalized parameter. Physiological condition data related to the user may be collected. The automated insulin delivery algorithm may determine a dosage of insulin to be delivered based on the collected physiological condition. Signals may be output to cause a liquid drug to be delivered to the user based on an output of the automated insulin delivery algorithm related to the determined dosage of insulin.

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.

The disclosed techniques enable a drug delivery system to delivery adjusted drug dosages and/or drug delivery cost function aggressiveness factors modified based on clusters or patterns of patient drug dosages and/or response event probabilities. For example, a controller for operating a drug delivery device may operate to determine a plurality of dosage clusters for a patient based on drug dosage patient information, determine an adjustment profile for each of the dosage clusters, determine a current cluster for a dosage cycle, determine an adjusted dosage for the dosage cycle by applying the adjustment profile to a default dosage, and provide a signal to the drug delivery device to deliver the adjusted dosage to the patient for the dosage cycle. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: The insulin to carbohydrate ratio (ICR) and the correction factor for a user of a medicament delivery device may be automatically adjusted. The automatic adjustments may tailor the values to the user's actual insulin needs. Various factors may be examined to determine how to adjust the ICR and the correction factor. The identified factors are weighed with the processor to decide whether to increase or decrease the insulin to carbohydrate ratio or the correction factor. The insulin to carbohydrate ratio or the correction factor for the user are adjusted based on the weights of the identified factors. In addition or in the alternative, automatic adjustments of user-requested insulin boluses may be made to requested dosages and timing of deliveries of the insulin boluses. In some instances, the exemplary embodiments may deliver a percentage of the insulin bolus dosage initially and deliver the remaining percentage after a delay to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia for the user.

Based on a result of the assessment of the factors, the processor may determine whether the user is approaching the potential impending hypoglycemic event for the user. In response to a determination that the user is approaching the potential impending hypoglycemic event for the user, a number of rescue carbohydrates to suggest for consumption by the user may be determined.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein relate to a closed loop artificial pancreas system. The artificial pancreas system seeks to automatically and continuously control the blood glucose level of a user by emulating the endocrine functionality of a healthy pancreas. The artificial pancreas system uses a closed loop control system with a cost function. The penalty function helps to bound the infusion rate of insulin to attempt to avoid hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. However, unlike conventional systems that use a generic or baseline parameter for a user's insulin needs in a cost function, the exemplary embodiments may use a customized parameter in the cost function that reflects the individualized insulin needs of the user. The use of the customized parameter causes the cost function to result in insulin dosages over time better suited to the individualized insulin needs of the user. This helps to better avoid hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.

Abstract: The switchover between an expiring on-body medicament delivery device and a replacement on-body medicament is made to eliminate or significantly decrease the time where an on-body medicament delivery device is operational to deliver medicament to a user. The replacement on-body medicament device is attached to the user and prepped for operation while the expiring on-body medicament delivery device is still operational. The switchover between on-body sensors also may be improved. Methods for calibrating a replacement on-body sensor while the expiring on-body sensor is still operative are provided. The calibrating may be performed quickly so that there is no gap in operation between expiration of the expiring on-body sensor and full operation of the replacement on-body sensor.
