Abstract: Disclosed are examples for a system for drug delivery and components thereof. The system may include an on-body pump device and a secondary unit. The on-body pump device may include a reservoir and a fluid pathway. The reservoir may be configured to hold a liquid drug. The secondary unit may be removably coupled to the on-body pump device. The secondary unit may be configured to receive a prefilled cartridge containing a liquid drug, expel the liquid drug from the prefilled cartridge, and deliver the liquid drug to the reservoir of the on-body pump device via the fluid pathway. Examples of variations to the secondary unit are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments of a pump mechanism comprising a rigid structure having an open end and a closed end, a plunger disposed in the open end of the rigid structure, and a flexible, fluid-proof sheet of material attached to an inner wall of the rigid structure and bonded to the head of the plunger such as to form a fluid barrier between the interior of the rigid structure and the plunger. Movement of the plunger toward the closed end of the rigid structure causes a rolling corner to be formed between the head of the plunger and the rigid structure and a fluid contained within the pump chamber to be forced out of the pump chamber via a fluid port defined in the closed end of the rigid structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically delivering medication to a user. A sensor coupled to a user can collect information regarding the user. A controller can use the collected information to determine an amount of medication to provide the user. The controller can instruct a drug delivery device to dispense the medication to the user. The drug delivery device can be a wearable insulin pump that is directly coupled to the user. The controller can be part of or implemented in a cellphone. A user can be required to provide a confirmation input to allow a determined amount of insulin to be provided to the user based on detected glucose levels of the user. The sensor, controller, and drug delivery device can communicate wirelessly.

Abstract: A low-force, non-displacement, micro/miniature valve and/or pump assembly is provided. A tube component having a first side port coupled to an inlet portion and a second side port coupled to an outlet portion can be selectively moved to alternatively couple the side ports to a first or second piston pump chamber. First and second pistons can be actuated after positioning the tube component to either draw in fluid or push out fluid from either the first or second piston pump chambers during each actuation of the pistons. The fluid can be drawn in from a reservoir and can be expelled to a patient for providing a dose of the fluid to the patient.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and processes for an optical monitoring system for monitoring the dispensing of fluid from a fluid delivery device For example, a fluid delivery device may include a reservoir storing a fluid, a pump fluidically coupled to the reservoir, the pump comprising a drive mechanism to force the fluid from the reservoir, and an optical monitoring system. The optical monitoring system may include at least one light source operative to emit light incident on at least one element of the drive mechanism, and at least one sensor configured to receive the light reflecting off of the at least one element, wherein the at least one light source and the at least one sensor are arranged on a same side of the at least one element. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a double reservoir configuration for a spatially efficient pumping mechanism comprising an outer reservoir and an inner reservoir, wherein a linear translation of the inner reservoir causes the inner reservoir to move into the outer reservoir and act as a plunger for the outer reservoir to force fluid contained in the outer reservoir through a first fluid port. A static plunger disposed within the inner reservoir causes fluid disposed within the inner reservoir to be forced through a second fluid port. Also disclosed are various drive mechanisms for causing the linear translation of the first reservoir into the second reservoir.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring an operational state and/or a fill status of a drug container of a drug delivery device are provided. The drug container can hold a liquid drug. A plunger can be positioned within the drug container. A drive system can advance the plunger to expel the liquid drug from the container. A monitoring system can detect a movement and/or a position of the plunger and/or any component coupled to the plunger. The detection can enable determination of an amount of liquid drug that has been expelled and/or an amount of liquid drug remaining in the drug container. Dosing rates, flow rates, and dosage completion can also be determined.

Abstract: A system, techniques, and computer-readable media includes examples that provide an indication of an early exercise detection are described. An example of an early exercise detection application executed by a processor may cause the processor to perform functions and be operable to obtain image data including metadata from a camera of a mobile device during, for example, an unlock procedure of a mobile device. The processor may determine whether the obtained image data includes location or timestamp information in metadata or has image data that may be recognized as exercise-related objects. Based on the determinations, the processor may output an indication of early exercise detection to an artificial pancreas application, which is operable to adjust an amount of insulin to be delivered to a user.

Abstract: A device for delivering fluid to a user may include a reservoir that holds the fluid and a plunger received in the reservoir. As the plunger is driven into the reservoir, the fluid is driven out; similarly, as the reservoir is filled, the plunger is driven out of the reservoir. The plunger may be moved into or out of the reservoir by the action of a lead screw. The lead screw may include multiple starts.
