Abstract
There is provided a computer-implemented method for controlling dispensing of at least one biologically active agent in intermittent doses over discrete predefined time periods, comprising the steps of: (i) initiating the dispensing of the biologically active agent in intermittent doses at a first background dosage rate; and (ii) adjusting to a background dosage rate according to the number of input signals received over each predefined time period from a signalling device.

A computer-implemented method for controlling dispensing of at least one biologically active agent in intermittent doses over discrete predefined time periods, comprising the steps of:
- (i) initiating the dispensing of the biologically active agent in the intermittent doses at a first background dosage rate, and setting a first predefined time period;
- additionally dispensing a first stage signal-induced dose of the biologically active agent, in response to an input signal from a signalling device within the first predefined time period, and setting a second predefined time period;
- dispensing a second stage signal-induced doses of the biologically active agent, in response to a second input signals from the signalling device within the second predefined time period, and re-setting the second predefined time period;
- dispensing a third stage signal-induced dose of the biologically active agent, in response to a third input signal from the signalling device within the second predefined time period, and re-setting the second predefined time period;
- dispensing a fourth stage signal-induced dose of the biologically active agent, in response to a fourth input signal from the signalling device within the second predefined time period, and re-setting the second predefined time period;
- preventing further dispensing stages within the second predefined time period, and then;
- re-setting the second predefined time period.
A dispensing system comprising a computer system operatively connected to at least one dispensing device, wherein the dispensing system is configured to perform a method for controlling dispensing of at least one biologically active agent in intermittent doses over discrete predefined time periods, comprising the steps of:
- initiating the dispensing of the biologically active agent in intermittent doses at a first background dosage rate, and setting a first predefined time period;
- additionally dispensing a first stage signal-induced dose of the biologically active agent, in response to an input signal from a signalling device within the first predefined time period, and setting a second predefined time period;
- dispensing a second stage signal-induced doses of the biologically active agent, in response to subsequent input signals from the signalling device within the second predefined time period, and re-setting the second predefined time period;
- dispensing a third stage signal-induced dose of the biologically active agent, in response to a third input signal from the signalling device within the second predefined time period, and re-setting the second predefined time period;
- dispensing a fourth stage signal-induced dose of the biologically active agent, in response to a fourth input signal from the signalling device within the second predefined time period, and re-setting the second predefined time period;
- preventing further dispensing stages within the second predefined time period, and then;
- re-setting the second predefined time period.
