MEDICAL DEVICES AND RELATED EVENT PATTERN TREATMENT RECOMMENDATION METHODS
Medical devices and related patient management systems and methods are provided. An exemplary system includes a medical device to obtain measurement values for a physiological condition in a body of a patient and a computing device to identify a plurality of event patterns within a plurality of monitoring periods based on the measurement values, prioritize the plurality of event patterns based on one or more prioritization criteria, filter the prioritized list of event patterns based on one or more filtering criteria, and generate a snapshot graphical user interface display. The snapshot graphical user interface display includes a graph overlay region having a graphical representation of the measurement values with respect to a time of day and an event detection region below the graph overlay region, where the event detection region includes pattern guidance displays for event patterns of the filtered prioritized list ordered according to the prioritization.
Margin determination
A method for identifying target regions in a tissue for local drug delivery, where functional and/or structural anatomical data such as edema and/or resection cavity is captured by an imaging system, and where the anatomical data is evaluated by segmentation techniques such as region-growing-based methods with computer assistance to determine a margin around a resection cavity and/or the volume of edema, the margin and/or the volume of edema being the target tissue for local drug delivery.
Brain shift compensation for catheter trajectory planning
The present invention relates to compensating for brain shift in catheter trajectory planning. First brain shift information is determined from an initial brain image dataset, an initial planning dataset, a patient orientation dataset, and first burr hole dataset. The brain image dataset is updated based on the first brain shift information and a trajectory of a first catheter is updated based on the updated brain image dataset. For a subsequent catheter placement, subsequent brain shift information is determined based on the updated brain image dataset, the patient orientation dataset, and a subsequent burr hole dataset. The brain image dataset is updated again based on the subsequent brain shift information. The re-updated brain image dataset is utilized to update trajectories of the subsequent catheter as well as any preceding catheters.
Multi-language/multi-processor infusion pump assembly
An infusion pump assembly includes a reservoir assembly configured to contain an infusible fluid. A motor assembly is configured to act upon the reservoir assembly and dispense at least a portion of the infusible fluid contained within the reservoir assembly. Processing logic is configured to control the motor assembly. The processing logic includes a primary microprocessor configured to execute one or more primary applications written in a first computer language; and a safety microprocessor configured to execute one or more safety applications written in a second computer language.
BASAL INSULIN MANAGEMENT
An improved basal insulin management system and an improved user interface for use therewith are provided. User interfaces are provided that dynamically display basal rate information and corresponding time segment information for a basal insulin program in a graphical format. The graphical presentation of the basal insulin program as it is being built by a user and the graphical presentation of a completed basal insulin program provides insulin management information to the user in a more intuitive and useful format. User interfaces further enable a user to make temporary adjustments to a predefined basal insulin program with the adjustments presented graphically to improve the user's understanding of the changes. As a result of being provided with the user interfaces described herein, users are less likely to make mistakes and are more likely to adjust basal rates more frequently, thereby contributing to better blood glucose control and improved health outcomes.
Pump configuration software wizard for configuring parameters of a handheld insulin pump
A system for configuring an insulin pump comprising: a computing device configured to receive a source device and a destination device; the source device being configured to communicate with the computing device, wherein the source device includes a source configuration file comprising a plurality of configurable source parameters; the destination device being configured to communicate with the computing device, wherein the destination device includes a destination configuration file comprising a plurality of configurable destination parameters; and the computing device being configured to determine whether a parameter mismatch occurred based on a comparison between the source configuration file and the destination configuration file; and to copies values associated with each of the plurality of source parameters to each of the plurality of destination parameters based on i) the determination of whether a parameter mismatch occurred and ii) the comparison between the source configuration file and the destination configuration file.
METHODS TO DEMONSTRATE PROGRESS TOWARDS FULL ADAPTATION AND TO PRESENT POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH BEHAVIORAL CHANGES
Exemplary embodiments calculate a user's progress towards maximum adapted system performance when utilizing a drug delivery device such as an insulin pump and display this progress to the user. Further embodiments calculate potential changes to a particular user's interaction with the system given a history of glucose and insulin deliveries and provide guidance to that user. This can be used, for example, to change how the user splits up their basal and bolus doses to improve metrics such as time-in-range, incidences of hyper- or hypo-glycemia, time in hyper- or hypo-glycemia, mean glucose, etc. It may also be used to speed the above-described adaptation process by suggesting changes that the user can make to achieve stability more quickly.
WITHIN-TIME INFUSION MODES FOR INFUSION PUMPS
An infusion mode for an infusion pump is configured for the scheduling of infusions without requiring the clinician to hand-calculate and manually update the infusion pump, should a stoppage occur. Consideration of a flush time (the duration of time for the flush) and flush rate (the rate for the flush), as part of the infusion is further included in the infusion scheduling.
MULTI-LANGUAGE / MULTI-PROCESSOR INFUSION PUMP ASSEMBLY
An infusion pump assembly includes a reservoir assembly configured to contain an infusible fluid. A motor assembly is configured to act upon the reservoir assembly and dispense at least a portion of the infusible fluid contained within the reservoir assembly. Processing logic is configured to control the motor assembly. The processing logic includes a primary microprocessor configured to execute one or more primary applications written in a first computer language; and a safety microprocessor configured to execute one or more safety applications written in a second computer language.
Method and device for planning a direct infusion into hepatic tissue
A method for planning an infusion into hepatic tissue into a patient includes: obtaining anatomical and/or physiological patient data of the patient's liver or a region of the liver; determining at least one patient parameter from the patient data; planning the infusion using the anatomical patient data, physiological patient data, and/or at least one patient parameter, wherein planning includes determining how an administered substance is distributed in the tissue and/or how the administered substance influences physiological properties of the tissue; and determining a distribution and/or effectiveness of a therapeutic agent administered with the substance or after the substance.
