Controlling medical infusion device operation and features based on detected patient sleeping status

An insulin infusion device comprising:

• a fluid pump mechanism;
• at least one controller that regulates operation of the fluid pump mechanism to deliver insulin from the insulin infusion device;
• and
• at least one memory element associated with the at least one controller, the at least one memory element storing processor-executable instructions configurable to be executed by the at least one controller to perform a method of controlling operation of the insulin infusion device, the method comprising:
• operating the insulin infusion device in an automatic mode to automatically control delivery of insulin to a user, in accordance with a first target glucose setpoint value;
• receiving user status data that indicates sleeping status of the user, the user status data being sensor data generated by a sleep detection system;
• determining, from the user status data, that the user is sleeping while the insulin infusion device is operating in the automatic mode;
• in response to the determining, transitioning from the first target glucose setpoint value to a second target glucose setpoint value for use during the automatic mode, the transitioning occurring without user input, and the second target glucose setpoint value being different from the first target glucose setpoint value;
• and
• continuing to operate the insulin infusion device in the automatic mode to automatically control delivery of insulin to the user, in accordance with the second target glucose setpoint value.

A system comprising:

• an insulin infusion device that regulates delivery of insulin to a user;
• a sleep detection system configured to generate user status data that includes sensor data and indicates sleeping status of the user, and configured to communicate the user status data;
• and
• at least one controller that controls operation of the insulin infusion device, the at least one controller configured to:
• operate the insulin infusion device in an automatic mode to automatically control delivery of insulin to the user, in accordance with a first target glucose setpoint value;
• receive the user status data generated by the sleep detection system;
• determine, from the user status data, that the user is sleeping while the insulin infusion device is operating in the automatic mode;
• in response to determining that the user is sleeping, transition from the first target glucose setpoint value to a second target glucose setpoint value for use during the automatic mode, the transitioning occurring without user input, and the second target glucose setpoint value being different from the first target glucose setpoint value;
• and
• continue to operate the insulin infusion device in the automatic mode to automatically control delivery of insulin to the user, in accordance with the second target glucose setpoint value.
