Abstract: Disclosed are techniques, products, and an automatic medication delivery system that includes a drug delivery system configured to implement a diabetes treatment management plan. The drug delivery system of the automatic medication delivery system includes a drug delivery device having a processor, a memory storing programming code executable by the processor, a drug container configured to contain a liquid drug, a pump drive mechanism configured to expel the liquid drug from the drug delivery device, and an auxiliary device interface coupled to the processor and configured with a data connection. The drug delivery system also includes a sensor module configured to couple to the auxiliary device interface of the drug delivery device, the sensor module including one or more sensors. The one or more sensors may be configured to detect movement or a physical attribute of a person wearing the drug delivery device and sensor.

Abstract: Examples of fluid delivery drive system and/or pump system that creates a vacuum in a fluid line for drawing and expelling fluid are provided. The vacuum may be created by separating two components that are positioned within the sealed fluid line. Once the two components are separated and the fluid is contained within the volume created between the separated components, the two components may be shuttled within the sealed volume. The movement of the two components can seal off an inlet to the fluid line and then open a pathway to an outlet from the fluid line while ensuring the created volume between the two components is maintained constant. The two components can then be moved back together to expel the fluid from the created volume through the outlet for delivery, for example, to a patient. Other examples are disclosed and described.

Abstract: Disclosed are examples of a device, a system, methods and computer-readable medium products operable to implement functionality to determine and respond to a purpose of a meal. An algorithm or application may receive data that may include data related to a meal purpose from data sources and determine whether any of the data received from the plurality of data sources was received from a direct data source or an indirect data source. The data may be evaluated to determine a purpose of the meal. Based on the results of the evaluation, instructions may be generated to provide an appropriate response based on the determined purpose of the meal. The generated instructions to provide the appropriate response based on the determined purpose of the meal may be output.

Abstract: A wearable drug delivery device for monitoring unintended over-delivery and/or under-delivery of a stored liquid drug are provided. An absolute pressure sensor can be positioned within the fluid path of the drug delivery device. The absolute pressor sensor can detect both ambient pressure (e.g., absolute or atmospheric pressure) and relative pressure (gage or pumping pressure). Based on the detected pressures, the effects of external ambient pressure on air with the fluid path can be determined during both intended drug delivery events and unintended drug delivery events. In turn, under-delivery and/or over-delivery of the liquid drug can be determined. Based on the severity of the determined under-delivery or over-delivery of the liquid drug, alarms indicating different urgencies can be provided to the user.

Abstract: A fluid flow regulator of a fluid delivery system that can adjust a flow rate of a liquid drug dispensed from a liquid drug container to a user is provided. The fluid flow regulator can be coupled to an end of the liquid drug container. The fluid flow regulator can include a compliance plate and a flow channel selector plate having a fluid flow channel. The flow channel selector plate can be rotated relative to the compliance plate and the liquid drug container to expose a selected portion of the fluid flow channel to openings in the compliance plate that are in fluid communication with the liquid drug stored in the liquid drug container. The selected portion of the fluid flow channel can correspond to a corresponding flow resistance of the liquid drug through the fluid flow channel, thereby regulating the flow of the liquid drug to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments providing an expandable, flexible reservoir for use in a wearable drug delivery device. The reservoir comprises a flexible enclosure made with plastic film which incorporates pleats forming the side walls thereof to increase the volume efficiency and to avoid a “pillowing” effect when the reservoir is filled. The pleats may be formed at non-right angles with respect to each other such as to form a curved side walls for the reservoir. In variations of the invention, various methods are disclosed for maintaining a vacuum with the reservoir during its shelf life.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to techniques, processes, devices or systems for pump devices. In one approach, a wearable drug delivery device, may include a reservoir configured to store a fluid, the reservoir comprising a housing including an outer wall defining an interior chamber, and a drive mechanism for driving the fluid from the reservoir. The drive mechanism may include a plunger received in the interior chamber of the reservoir, a leadscrew extending from the plunger, and a clutch mechanism threadably engaged with the leadscrew, wherein the clutch mechanism is configured to allow the leadscrew to pass through the clutch mechanism when disengaged and is configured to grip the leadscrew when engaged such that the clutch mechanism rotates to advance the leadscrew and the plunger into the reservoir.

Abstract: Drive systems for a drug delivery device are provided. The drive systems can be positioned within a container that stores a liquid drug to be delivered to a user. The drive systems can be coupled to a plunger positioned within the container. The drive systems can be incrementally advanced to drive the plunger further into the container, thereby expelling a portion of the stored liquid drug from the container for delivery to the user. The container can be any type of container including a pre-filled, standardized drug cartridge. The drive systems and container can be components of a wearable drug delivery device.
