Abstract:
Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. A method of operating an infusion device involves obtaining an input qualitative event attribute, such as a meal size, obtaining a quantitative event attribute associated with the qualitative event attribute that is representative of a subset of historical events for a patient associated with the qualitative event attribute, such as a representative carbohydrate amount for the qualitative meal size, and thereafter determine a dosage of fluid based at least in part on the quantitative event attribute and operate the infusion device to deliver the dosage of the fluid to the patient.
Abstract:
Technologies are provided for identifying fasting and postprandial periods based on detected events and using the same to train a mathematical model. Events during a period can be detected via an event detection system. Each detected event can include a specific activity that is indicative of a physical behavior of the user. Training data and the detected events can be processed to determine timing of fasting periods, timing of postprandial periods, and timing of other periods. Training data from the fasting periods and other training data from the postprandial periods can be identified. The mathematical model of the user can be trained to identify fasting parameters of a physiological blood glucose response of the user during the fasting periods, and fasting parameters of a physiological blood glucose response of the user (differently) during postprandial periods.

Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of providing site rotation feedback pertaining to a sensing arrangement providing sensed measurements of a physiological condition in a body of a user involves obtaining one or more reference measurements of the physiological condition in the body of the user, determining a lag associated with the sensing arrangement based on a relationship between the one or more reference measurements and one or more of the sensed measurements, identifying a current site location on the body of the user associated with the sensing arrangement from among a plurality of site locations based on the lag, determining one or more performance metrics associated with the current site location, and providing sensor site feedback in a manner that is influenced by the one or more performance metrics.
Abstract:
A method of operating an insulin infusion device involves: operating the infusion device in an automatic mode to automatically control delivery of insulin to a user, in accordance with a first target glucose setpoint value; receiving user status data that indicates sleeping status of the user, the user status data generated by a sleep detection system; and determining, from the user status data, that the user is sleeping while the insulin infusion device is operating in the automatic mode. In response to the determining, the method transitions from the first target glucose setpoint value to a second (different) target glucose setpoint value for use during the automatic mode, the transitioning occurring without user input. The method continues to operate the infusion device in the automatic mode to automatically control delivery of insulin to the user, in accordance with the second target glucose setpoint value.
Abstract:
A system includes a medical device that regulates delivery of medication to a user, a sleep detection system configured to generate user status data that indicates sleeping status of the user, and configured to communicate the user status data, and at least one controller that controls alerts associated with operation of the medical device. The at least one controller receives the user status data generated by the sleep detection system, determines, from the user status data, that the user is sleeping, activates a sleep mode alerting scheme of the medical device when it determines that the user is sleeping, and, after activating the sleep mode alerting scheme, controls generation and outputting of alerts associated with operation of the medical device in accordance with the sleep mode alerting scheme.
Abstract:
An insulin infusion device includes a processor architecture, and a memory element that stores executable instructions to perform a method of controlling delivery of insulin to a user. The method operates the device in a closed-loop mode to deliver insulin, obtains patient-specific parameters for a current time sample, and estimates a plasma insulin value and a blood glucose value for the user based on at least some of the patient-specific parameters. The estimating is also based on a previously estimated plasma insulin value obtained for a previous time sample, and a previously estimated blood glucose value obtained for the previous time sample. A predicted sensor glucose value is generated for the current time sample, and the closed-loop mode or a safe basal mode is selected for controlling operation of the insulin infusion device in accordance with the selected mode.

Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device involves obtaining one or more measurement values of a physiological condition in the body of a user during an initial monitoring period and determining a fasting reference value for a metric based on the one or more measurement values. After the initial monitoring period, the method continues by obtaining an updated measurement value during a fasting period, determining a current value for the metric based at least in part on the updated measurement value, and generating a notification in response to a deviation between the current value and the fasting reference value exceeding a threshold indicative of insertion site loss or other loss of effectiveness.

Abstract:
Techniques related to temporary setpoint values are disclosed. The techniques may involve causing operation of a fluid delivery device in a closed-loop mode for automatically delivering fluid based on a difference between a first setpoint value and an analyte concentration value during operation of the fluid delivery device in the closed-loop mode. Additionally, the techniques may involve obtaining a second setpoint value. The second setpoint value may be a temporary setpoint value to be used for a period of time to regulate fluid delivery, and the second setpoint value may be greater than the first setpoint value. The techniques may further involve causing operation of the fluid delivery device for automatically reducing fluid delivery for the period of time based on the second setpoint value.
