System for controlling glucose with insulin delivery device
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11901060B2) discloses a system designed to control glucose levels in patients by delivering insulin through a medication delivery device. The system includes a controller with control logic that utilizes a model predictive controller algorithm to determine the appropriate medication dose based on the pharmacokinetic profile of the insulin being administered. The system can automatically switch from a first type of insulin to a second type with a different pharmacokinetic profile in response to changes in the patient's glycemic pattern or user notifications. This transition allows for more precise dosing tailored to the patient's needs.
Furthermore, the system's control logic can adjust various model parameters, such as insulin sensitivity and basal rate, to optimize glucose control based on factors like meal bolus dosing aggressiveness and physiological glucose targets. The system also incorporates features like detecting the onset of the dawn phenomenon and initiating alarms before algorithm execution. Additionally, the system can determine the type of insulin required by comparing the patient's current glucose curve with a known curve, ensuring accurate dosing. Overall, this patented system offers a sophisticated and adaptive approach to insulin delivery, enhancing the management of glucose levels in patients with precision and efficiency.
