Abstract
This document generally describes systems and methods for simulating a medication delivery system. Some embodiments can include a medication delivery simulation system that simulates an operation of a medication delivery system, such as delivery of a medication and detection of a response to the delivery. The simulation system can be used to simulate at least part of the operation of a medication delivery system and can check operations of one or more components in the medication delivery system, such as a pump, a sensor, a user device (e.g., a mobile device), and a server computing device.
Claims21
A method for simulating a glucose monitoring system, wherein the glucose monitoring system includes a medication delivery device configured to dispense medication, the method comprising:
- obtaining, at a simulation system, first data representative of a first glucose-impacting event;
- generating, at the simulation system, second data based on the first data, the second data representative of a simulated physiological response to the first glucose-impacting event;
- calculating, at the simulation system, third data based on the second data, the third data representative of a simulated glucose value according to the simulated physiological response;
- transmitting, using the simulation system, the third data to the medication delivery device;
- receiving, at the simulation system, fourth data from the medication delivery device, wherein the medication delivery device generates the fourth data representative of a second glucose-impacting event, and wherein the medication delivery device generates the fourth data based on the third data transmitted from the simulation system;
- generating, at the simulation system, fifth data based on the fourth data, the fifth data representative of an expected glucose value based on the second glucose-impacting event;
- determining, at the simulation system, whether the expected glucose value meets a threshold;
- and
- generating, at the simulation system, a notification when the expected glucose value does not meet the threshold.
A simulation system for simulating a glucose monitoring system, wherein the glucose monitoring system includes a medication delivery device configured to dispense medication, the simulation system comprising:
- an input device configured to obtain first data representative of a first glucose-impacting event;
- a processor in communication with the input device, wherein the processor is configured to generate second data based on the first data, the second data representative of a simulated physiological response to the first glucose-impacting event;
- and
- a simulated glucose sensor in communication with the processor, wherein the simulated glucose sensor is configured to:
- generate third data based on the second data, the third data representative of a simulated glucose value according to the simulated physiological response;
- and
- transmit the third data to the medication delivery device,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- receive, from the medication delivery device, fourth data representative of a second glucose-impacting event, wherein the fourth data is generated by the medication delivery device based on the third data transmitted from the simulated glucose sensor.
