Abstract
A portable insulin pump can integrate and display data from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to allow a user to more readily determine whether any interaction with the pump is necessary. Data from the CGM can automatically be transmitted to the pump and can be displayed for user analysis or automatically analyzed to present recommendations to the user based on combined data from the CGM and the pump.
Core Innovation
The invention provides a portable insulin pump system with a graphical user interface that is automatically activated from an inactive condition and displays a startup screen. The startup screen includes information relating to glucose levels of the user and a bolus delivery object.
When the graphical user interface is activated, the startup screen is displayed automatically in the locked configuration with the information relating to glucose levels visible. In the locked configuration, the information relating to glucose levels is visible but not touch-selectable, enabling the user to assess whether any action needs to be taken with the portable insulin pump while the startup screen is in the locked configuration.
The bolus delivery object on the startup screen is not selectable to initiate programming of a bolus delivery of insulin until the startup screen is unlocked from the locked configuration. This locked-to-unlocked behavior is implemented as part of displaying the startup screen during activation of the graphical user interface, including configurations that restrict touch selection of glucose information and disable bolus programming while locked.
Claims Coverage
The document provides two independent claims (a method and a portable insulin pump system). The central inventive coverage is the automatic display of a startup screen upon activation from an inactive condition, with glucose information visible in a locked configuration while bolus delivery programming is inhibited until the startup screen is unlocked.
Automatically displaying locked startup screen with visible but not touch-selectable glucose information
Automatically display a startup screen on the graphical user interface when the graphical user interface is activated from an inactive condition, with the startup screen including information relating to glucose levels of the user, and display the startup screen in the locked configuration with the information relating to glucose levels visible but not touch-selectable.
Disabling bolus programming until startup screen is unlocked
Include a bolus delivery object selectable to initiate programming of a bolus delivery of insulin when the startup screen is not in a locked configuration, while the bolus delivery object on the startup screen is not selectable to initiate programming of a bolus delivery of insulin until the startup screen is unlocked from the locked configuration.
Across both independent claims, the inventive concept is a locked startup screen that makes glucose information visible without touch-selection while preventing bolus delivery programming until the startup screen is unlocked, implemented via processor-controlled display and via a method of displaying information to aid in providing diabetes therapy.
