Abstract
Systems and methods relate to an ambulatory medicament device that can generate a dose control signal to cause a medicament pump to infuse medicament into a subject. The system can analyze status to determine whether an alarm condition for the ambulatory medicament device or for a subject is already present in a list of pending alarm conditions. If the alarm is not present, the system can determine a severity level of the alarm condition from among a plurality of severity levels and annunciate the alarm condition using one or more annunciation patterns selected based on the severity level of the alarm condition for the medicament device or for the subject. The system may maintain an indication of the alarm condition on the list of pending alarm conditions until the alarm condition is resolved.
Core Innovation
The invention relates to a glucose level control system configured to generate a dose output for administration of medicament to a subject. The system receives status information comprising at least one of device information pertaining to a condition of the glucose level control system or subject information pertaining to a condition of the subject, and determines whether the status information satisfies an alarm condition for the glucose level control system or for the subject.
When the status information satisfies an alarm condition, the system modifies a list of pending alarms stored in memory based on the alarm condition when an alarm indication corresponding to the alarm condition is not already present. The system maintains the alarm indication within the list of pending alarms and annunciates the alarm corresponding to the alarm condition using one or more annunciation patterns from a plurality of annunciation patterns.
The plurality of annunciation patterns comprises text information, an audible alarm, an icon, a visual alarm, and a haptic alarm. The system outputs a user interface screen on a display of the glucose level control system, including a lock screen that displays an alarm state icon indicating a presence of one or more alarms on the list of pending alarms, and indications of multiple alarms are displayable simultaneously.
Claims Coverage
The document includes three independent claims that share a common inventive core: monitoring status information to determine alarm conditions, updating a list of pending alarms only when an alarm indication is not already present, and annunciating alarms using multiple annunciation patterns with lock-screen alarm state icon interaction and simultaneous display of pending alarms. The inventive features center on pending-alarm list management and user-interface alarm presentation.
Monitoring status information to determine alarm conditions
Receiving status information comprising at least one of device information pertaining to a condition of the glucose level control system or subject information pertaining to a condition of the subject, and determining that the status information satisfies an alarm condition for the glucose level control system or for the subject.
Pending alarm list modification for non-duplicative alarms
Modifying the list of pending alarms based on the alarm condition when an alarm indication corresponding to the alarm condition is not already present in the list of pending alarms.
Annunciating alarms using multiple annunciation patterns
Annunciating the alarm using one or more annunciation patterns from a plurality of annunciation patterns, wherein the plurality of annunciation patterns comprises text information, an audible alarm, an icon, a visual alarm, and a haptic alarm.
Lock-screen alarm state icon and pending-alarm display
Outputting a user interface screen on a display of the glucose level control system, wherein the user interface screen comprises a lock screen, and wherein the lock screen displays an alarm state icon indicating a presence of one or more alarms on the list of pending alarms; and, in response to a user interacting with the alarm state icon, displaying the list of pending alarms on a user interface screen, wherein indications of multiple alarms are displayable simultaneously.
Wake interaction to trigger alarm annunciation and user interface output
In response to a wake interaction with a wake interface element, annunciating the alarm using one or more annunciation patterns from a plurality of annunciation patterns and outputting a user interface screen on a display of the glucose level control system, wherein the user interface screen comprises a lock screen displaying an alarm state icon indicating a presence of one or more alarms on the list of pending alarms.
Across the independent claims, the invention covers glucose level control systems and computer-implemented methods that receive monitoring status information, determine alarm conditions, update a list of pending alarms only when the alarm indication is not already present, and present alarm annunciation using multiple annunciation patterns. The claims further require user-interface behavior tied to an alarm state icon on a lock screen and/or a wake interface element, with the ability to display indications of multiple pending alarms simultaneously.
Stated Advantages
Alarm state icon indicates a presence of one or more alarms on the list of pending alarms.
Annunciation supports multiple annunciation patterns comprising text information, an audible alarm, an icon, a visual alarm, and a haptic alarm.
Pending alarm list can be displayed in response to user interacting with an alarm state icon.
Indications of multiple alarms are displayable simultaneously on the user interface screen.
Documented Applications
Glucose level control system for administration of medicament to a subject, where alarms corresponding to alarm conditions for the glucose level control system or the subject are generated and annunciated using the described user interface behavior.
