Wearable automated medication delivery system

A wearable drug delivery system comprising:

• a glucose sensor coupled to skin of a user, wherein the sensor is operable to collect sensor data on a physical attribute or condition of the user;
• and
• a wearable medical device coupled to the skin of the user, the wearable medical device including:
• a reservoir configured to contain a medication;
• a pump configured to transfer the medication from the reservoir;
• a power supply operable to supply power to the pump;
• a needle and/or cannula configured to dispense the medication;
• a needle insertion device operable to deploy the needle and/or the cannula into skin of the user;
• a receiver configured to receive signals over a wireless link;
• a memory configured to store an algorithm;
• and
• a controller, wherein the controller is coupled to the memory, and, when executing the algorithm stored in memory coupled to the controller, the controller is configured to locally:
• receive, via the receiver, the sensor data from the glucose sensor;
• determine locally by the controller a size of a dose of medication and at least a change in a time, frequency, or schedule of future delivery of the dose of the medication based at least in part on the received sensor data;
• and
• cause the pump to deliver medication from the reservoir based on the determined size of the dose of the medication and the at least the change in the time of delivery, the frequency of delivery, or the schedule of future delivery of the dose of the medication.

• a needle insertion device operable to deploy the needle and/or the cannula into skin of the user, wherein the needle insertion device is a manual activation device responsive to a manual pressure, or the needle insertion device is an electrical activation device responsive to a command from a remote device;
• a receiver configured to receive signals over a wireless link;
• a memory configured to store an algorithm;
• and
• a controller, wherein the controller is coupled to the memory, and, when executing the algorithm stored in memory coupled to the controller, the controller is configured to locally:
• receive, via the receiver, the sensor data directly from the glucose sensor;
• determine locally on the controller a size of a dose of medication and at least a change in a time, frequency, or schedule of future deliveries of the medication based at least in part on the received sensor data;
• and
• cause the pump to deliver medication from the reservoir based on the determined size of the dose of the medication and the at least the change in the time of delivery, the frequency of delivery, or the schedule of future deliveries of the dose of the medication.
