MEDICAL DEVICES AND RELATED EVENT PATTERN TREATMENT RECOMMENDATION METHODS
Methods, systems, and media for event pattern treatment recommendations are provided. In some embodiments, a method involve identifying a plurality of event patterns within a plurality of monitoring periods based on measurement values of a physiological condition. The techniques may involve causing display of a snapshot graphical user interface display, wherein the snapshot graphical user interface display comprises a graph overlay region and an event detection region, the graph overlay region comprises a graphical representation of the measurement values, and the event detection region comprises a pattern guidance display for at least a subset of the plurality of event patterns, wherein the pattern guidance display for at least one event pattern includes a graphical representation of a recommended therapeutic remedial action that comprises therapy parameters, to be used by a medical device during a subsequent time period, configured to mitigate occurrence of the at least one event pattern.
INTEGRATED CLOSED-LOOP MEDICATION DELIVERY WITH ERROR MODEL AND SAFETY CHECK
A closed-loop system for insulin infusion overnight uses a model predictive control algorithm (“MPC”). Used with the MPC is a glucose measurement error model which was derived from actual glucose sensor error data. That sensor error data included both a sensor artifacts component, including dropouts, and a persistent error component, including calibration error, all of which was obtained experimentally from living subjects. The MPC algorithm advised on insulin infusion every fifteen minutes. Sensor glucose input to the MPC was obtained by combining model-calculated, noise-free interstitial glucose with experimentally-derived transient and persistent sensor artifacts associated with the FreeStyle Navigator® Continuous Glucose Monitor System (“FSN”). The incidence of severe and significant hypoglycemia reduced 2300- and 200-fold, respectively, during simulated overnight closed-loop control with the MPC algorithm using the glucose measurement error model suggesting that the continuous glucose monitoring technologies facilitate safe closed-loop insulin delivery.
DOSAGE MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The drug administration quantitative management assisting system includes an inputter and a calculator. The inputter receives, as input data, a time passed from previous drug administration to a patient and/or a value of biological materials in blood of the patient and/or a change of the value. The calculator calculates probabilities of drug administration to the patient as trinary determination of the dosage direction of STAY, UP or DOWN on the basis of a calculation model, and a first determination for determining the dosage direction, and a second determination for determining the dosage direction of UP or DOWN if the first determination is NON-STAY. The calculation model is prepared by machine learning using, as training data, the time passed from previous drug administration to a plurality of patients and/or the value of the biological material in blood of the plurality of patients and/or the changes of the value, and data indicating, as previous determination of the drug administration to the plurality of patients determined by doctors, any one of the dosage directions.
