US 12,653,949 B2 · Adaptation of medicament delivery in response to user stress load

Abstract

Disclosed are an automatic medication delivery system includes a stress detection and response algorithm or application that may operate in cooperation with a medication delivery algorithm or application. Execution of the instructions of the stress detection and response application causes a processor to obtain a respective measurement value related to a physiological condition of a user from one or more sensors. The obtained respective measurement values are evaluated against a respective threshold measurement value. The processor determines, based on the evaluation of the obtained respective measurement values, a degree of stress the user is experiencing. In response to the determination of the degree of stress the user is experiencing, the processor may modify an imminent dosage of a liquid drug to be delivered, a time of delivery of the imminent dosage, or both. A dosage of the liquid drug may be expelled based on the modifying.
