Abstract:
Disclosed herein are techniques related to glucose estimation without continuous glucose monitoring. In some embodiments, the techniques may involve receiving input data associated with a user. The input data may comprise discrete blood glucose measurement data associated with the user, activity data associated with the user, contextual data associated with the user, or a combination thereof. The techniques may also involve using an estimation model and the input data associated with the user to generate one or more estimated blood glucose values associated with the user.
Abstract:
Infusion devices and related medical devices, patient data management systems, and methods are provided for monitoring a physiological condition of a patient. An exemplary method of querying a database involves receiving an input query from a client device, identifying a logical layer of a plurality of different logical layers of the database for searching based at least in part on the input query, generating a query statement for searching the identified logical layer of the plurality of different logical layers of the database based at least in part on the input query, querying the identified logical layer of the database using the query statement to obtain result data, and providing a search result influenced by the result data.
Abstract:
Infusion devices, systems and related methods of autonomously delivering fluid to a patient are disclosed. One method involves monitoring a current operational context during autonomous operation of the infusion device to deliver fluid to a patient in accordance with an operating mode using an initial value for a control parameter, and in response to identifying an adjusted value for the control parameter associated with the current operational context, autonomously operating the infusion device to deliver the fluid to the patient in accordance with the operating mode using the adjusted value for the control parameter in lieu of the initial value and thereafter reverting the control parameter to the initial value.
Abstract:
A method for estimating glucose values of a user and an insulin infusion and management system are provided. The insulin infusion and management system can include an insulin infusion device configured to deliver insulin to a user; a blood glucose meter; a source of user activity data; and a processor-based computing device that supports data communication with the insulin infusion device. A processor device of the computing device can perform a method for estimating glucose values of a user. In accordance with the method, a first set of inputs can be received and processed via an estimation model for a user to generate a set of estimated glucose values that track actual glucose values.
Abstract:
Medical devices and related patient management systems and event detection methods are provided. An exemplary method of detecting events pertaining to operation of a medical device, such as an infusion device, involves obtaining measurements indicative of a condition in a body of a patient, determining statistics for an analysis interval based on the measurements, and determining an event probability associated with the analysis interval based on historical event data associated with the patient. An event detection model associated with the patient is obtained and applied to the statistics and the event probability to identify occurrence of the event using the event detection model, and in response, an indication of the event associated with the analysis interval is provided, for example, by tagging or marking data in a database, displaying graphical indicia of the event, or the like.
Abstract:
Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering fluid to a user involves obtaining one or more uncalibrated measurements indicative of the physiological condition, obtaining one or more reference measurements of the physiological condition, determining a raw calibration factor based on a relationship between the one or more uncalibrated measurements and the one or more reference measurements corresponding to the respective uncalibrated measurements of the one or more uncalibrated measurements, and determining an adjusted calibration factor based at least in part on an expected calibration factor and the raw calibration factor, wherein operation of the infusion device to deliver the fluid is influenced by the adjusted calibration factor.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and related method of managing use of a diabetes management device are presented here. An embodiment of the method obtains input data for a user of the diabetes management device, and compares the input data against historical event/outcome combinations maintained for the user. Each of the event/outcome combinations includes insight event data indicative of a glycemic event and a glycemic outcome corresponding to the insight event data. The method determines, based on the comparing, a correlation between the input data and a glycemic outcome. The method continues by generating a glycemic insight message for delivery to the user, wherein the glycemic insight message includes information regarding a relationship between at least some of the input data and the glycemic outcome.
