The present disclosure relates to relates to medication injection devices, and in particular to systems and methods for on-demand delivery of a non-liquid medication from a wearable medication injection device. Particularly, aspects of the present invention are directed to a device that includes a housing defining a chamber, a piston disposed within the chamber, a needle disposed within the chamber on a first side of the piston, an energetic material disposed within the chamber on a second side of the piston, and a medication strip disposed within the needle. The medication strip includes an injectable substance in a non-liquid form.

The embodiments described herein may relate to methods and systems for adjusting insulin delivery. Some methods and systems may be configured to adjust insulin delivery to personalize automated insulin delivery for a person with diabetes. Such personalization may include adjusting user specific dosage parameters in response to one or more back-filled time segments associated with a diurnal time block.

Disclosed are a system, methods and computer-readable medium products that provide safety constraints for an insulin-delivery management program. Various examples provide safety constraints for a control algorithm-based drug delivery system that provides automatic delivery of a drug based on sensor input. Glucose measurement values may be received at regular time intervals from a sensor. A processor may predict future glucose values based on prior glucose measurement values. The safety constraints assist in safe operation of the drug delivery system during various operational scenarios. In some examples, predicted future glucose values may be used to implement safety constraints that mitigate under-delivery or over-delivery of the drug while not overly burdening the user of the drug delivery system and without sacrificing performance of the drug delivery system. Other safety constraints are also disclosed.

An overdose of opioids can cause the user to stop breathing, resulting in death. A physiological monitoring system monitors respiration based on oxygen saturation readings from a fingertip pulse oximeter in communication with a smart mobile device and sends opioid monitoring information from the smart mobile device to an opioid overdose monitoring service. The opioid overdose monitoring service notifies a first set of contacts when the opioid monitoring information.

A drug delivery device may include an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is provided. The IMU may include an accelerometer, a magnetometer, or a gyroscope. Motion parameters may be detected when the drug delivery device is shipped, being prepared for activation for use, or during use. The IMU may provide data indicative of a rapid deceleration, such as when a package containing the drug delivery device is dropped, or some other physical event experienced by the drug delivery device. The drug delivery device may also include internal or external pressure sensors or a blood glucose sensor that may coordinate with the IMU to provide additional feedback regarding the status of the device or user. A controller of the drug delivery device may generate a response depending on the particular parameters being monitored or may change device operational parameters as a result of detected system events.

Medical devices, systems and methods are provided. One method involves obtaining fabrication process measurement data for a plurality of instances of a sensing element, obtaining reference output measurement data from the plurality of instances in response to a reference stimulus, determining a predictive model for a measurement output of the sensing element as a function of fabrication process measurement variables based on the relationship between the fabrication process measurement data and the reference output measurement data, generating a simulated output measurement distribution across a range of the fabrication process measurement variables using the predictive model, identifying performance thresholds for the measurement output based on the simulated output measurement distribution, obtaining output measurement data from the instance of the sensing element in response to the reference stimulus, and verifying the output measurement data satisfies the performance threshold prior to calibrating a subsequent instance of the sensing element.

A system and method provides closed-loop sedation, anesthesia, or analgesia by monitoring EEG and automatically adjusting the delivery of sedative, anesthetic, and/or analgesic drugs to maintain that desired level of cortical activity for transportation or evacuation of the injured, and for closed-loop anesthesia during surgical care, and at all echelons of care.

Devices, systems, and methods are provided herein for delivering medication (e.g., insulin) via a wearable pump having a patch-style form factor for adhesion to a user's body. The reusable pump may be coupled to a disposable cap housing a microdosing system for delivering precise, repeatable doses of medication to a cannula configured to deliver medication to a target infusion area beneath the user's outer skin layer. The system further may include an applicator for inserting the cannula into the user's skin and/or applying an adhesive pad to the skin.

Disclosed are methods and medical device systems for automated delivery of therapies for pain and determination of need for and safety of treatment. In one embodiment, such a medical device system may comprise a sensor configured to sense at least one body signal from a patient; and a medical device configured to receive a first sensed body signal from the sensor; determine a patient pain index based at least in part on said first sensed body signal; determine whether said patient pain index is above at least a first pain index threshold; determine a safety index based at least in part on a second sensed body signal; select a pain treatment regimen based on at least one of said safety index and or a determination that said pain index is above said first pain index threshold; and deliver said pain treatment regimen.

A method for deriving physiological parameters may include: measuring a glucose level of a subject over time; measuring a HbA1c of individual red blood cells in a sample comprising a plurality of red blood cells; deriving a measured cellular HbA1c distribution of the sample; and calculating at least one physiological parameter selected from the group consisting of (a) a red blood cell elimination constant (k.sub.age), (b) a red blood cell glycation rate constant (k.sub.gly), and/or (c) an apparent glycation constant (K) based on the measured cellular HbA1c distribution and the glucose levels of the subject over time.
