Abstract
A system for automatically delivering medication to a user is disclosed. A sensor worn by the user can collect information regarding the user. A user device, for example, a smartphone, executes a user application that uses the collected information to determine an amount of medication to provide to the user. The user application includes a graphical user interface that allows the user to easily interact with the user application to specify various aspects of the delivery of the medication. The user application controls a wearable drug delivery device to dispense the medication to the user.
Core Innovation
The medication delivery system comprises a drug delivery device, a user device in wireless communication with the drug delivery device, and a user application executing on the user device that controls medication delivery. The application presents a default startup screen displaying the most-recent blood glucose level, a trend indicator based on previous blood glucose readings, estimated insulin on board, and the most recent bolus. The default screen further displays a graph of blood glucose readings within a user-selectable time period and an operating mode indicator.
The interface further provides an indicator distinguishing whether the system operates in a manual mode with preprogrammed dosing parameters or an automated mode with adapting dosing parameters. A viewers screen lists people authorized to view data generated by the user application, allows adding new authorized individuals, and displays status indicators denoting active viewer or pending approval status. The status indicator updates based on information received at the user device following a request to add a viewer.
Claims Coverage
The claims identify one independent claim, claim 1, which defines three inventive features.
Wireless medication delivery control
A drug delivery device and a user device in wireless communication, with a user application executing on the user device and controlling delivery of medication by the drug delivery device.
Medication and glucose information on the default screen
A default screen displayed on startup that includes the most-recent blood glucose level, a trend indicator based on previous blood glucose readings, an indicator of estimated insulin on board, a most recent bolus indicator, a selectable CGM area displaying a graph of blood glucose readings within a user-selectable time period, and an operating mode indicator distinguishing manual mode from automated mode.
Viewer list with status indicators
A viewers screen that allows viewing and adding people authorized to view data generated by the user application, wherein each person has a status indicator identifying an active viewer or pending approval that is updated based on information received at the user device after a request to add a viewer is sent via the user application.
Claim 1 covers wireless application control of a drug delivery device, a startup default screen presenting blood-glucose, insulin-on-board, bolus, and operating-mode parameters, and a viewers screen for managing authorized viewers and their approval status.
Stated Advantages
Not explicitly described in patent.
Documented Applications
The user application controls medication delivery by the drug delivery device and provides interfaces for viewing medication and glucose information, displaying blood glucose readings, bolus information, and manual or automated operating modes.
Managing authorized individuals permitted to view application data, including displaying active viewer and pending invitation statuses, managing basal programs, entering blood-glucose values and continuous glucose monitor transmitter serial numbers, browsing food information, reviewing history, and submitting log files to customer care.
