SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING, REGULATING, OR CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW
A flow meter, and related system and method are provided. The flow meter includes a coupler, a support member, an image sensor, a valve, and one or more processors. The coupler is adapted to couple to a drip chamber. The support member is operatively coupled to the coupler. The image sensor has a field of view and is operatively coupled to the support member. The image sensor is positioned to view the drip chamber within the field of view. The one or more processors are operatively coupled to the image sensor to receive image data therefrom and to the actuator to actuate the valve. The one or more processors are configured to estimate a flow of fluid through the drip chamber and to actuate the valve to control the flow of fluid through the drip chamber to achieve a target flow rate.
BURDEN-FREE BLOOD GLUCOSE MANAGEMENT FOR INSULIN-REQUIRING DIABETES WITH MINIMAL USER INTERACTION
Some embodiments include burden-free insulin delivery systems and methods. Some embodiments include a method comprising: receiving previous insulin delivery data at a user device from an insulin pump; receiving estimated glucose data at the user device from a continuous glucose monitor; determining that the estimated glucose value is approaching or has passed a threshold; and in response to determining that the estimated glucose value is approaching or has surpassed the threshold, not providing an indication to the user through a user interface that the estimated glucose value is approaching or surpassed the threshold.

Methods and Devices for Burden-free Blood Glucose Management With Minimal User Interaction
Some embodiments include burden-free insulin delivery systems and methods. Some embodiments include a method comprising: receiving previous insulin delivery data at a user device from an insulin pump; receiving estimated glucose data at the user device from a continuous glucose monitor; determining that the estimated glucose value is approaching or has passed a threshold; and in response to determining that the estimated glucose value is approaching or has surpassed the threshold, not providing an indication to the user through a user interface that the estimated glucose value is approaching or surpassed the threshold.
Methods and Devices for Minimally Burdensome Blood Glucose Management for Insulin-requiring Diabetes
Some embodiments include burden-free insulin delivery systems and methods. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving previous insulin delivery data at a user device from an insulin pump; receiving estimated glucose data at the user device from a continuous glucose monitor; determining an insulin delivery amount based on the previous insulin delivery data and the estimated glucose data to bring the estimated glucose data closer to a target glucose value without using any user-specific behavioral data physically entered by a user through a user interface of the user device within a previous period of time, the previous period of time being less than six hours; and communicating the insulin delivery amount to the insulin pump.
SYSTEM AND DEVICE TO MONITOR MULTIPLE INFUSIONS
A method of administering a drug including measuring a dosage rate of a first intravenous (IV) bag connected to a first infusion pump, setting a pumping rate of the first infusion pump, comparing the pumping rate of the first infusion pump to the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag, and adjusting the pumping rate of the first infusion pump to the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag when the pumping rate of the first infusion pump is different from the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag.
Blood glucose management for insulin-requiring diabetes without alerts or alarms
Some embodiments include burden-free insulin delivery systems and methods. Some embodiments include a method comprising: receiving previous insulin delivery data at a user device from an insulin pump; receiving estimated glucose data at the user device from a continuous glucose monitor; determining that the estimated glucose value is approaching or has passed a threshold; and in response to determining that the estimated glucose value is approaching or has surpassed the threshold, not providing an indication to the user through a user interface that the estimated glucose value is approaching or surpassed the threshold.
