Method for controlling insulin pump using bluetooth protocol

A system for controlling an insulin pump comprising:

• a first Bluetooth chip built in the insulin pump;
• a blood sugar level measuring device having a second Bluetooth chip that is communicated with the first Bluetooth chip in radio frequency (RF) communication;
• a Bluetooth communication device having a transmitting/receiving unit and a communication control unit;
• and
• a computer having a third Bluetooth chip that communicates with the Bluetooth communication device.

The system according to claim 1, wherein the insulin pump further comprises:

• a control unit connected to the first Bluetooth chip, for controlling the first Bluetooth chip;
• a key input unit for generating a key signal to drive the insulin pump, which is input to the control unit;
• a display for outputting data corresponding to the recognized key input and displaying the data;
• and
• a memory for storing various data and programs that includes a program for recognizing and controlling the first Bluetooth chip.

A system for controlling a plurality of insulin pumps comprising:

• first Bluetooth chips which are built in the insulin pumps, respectively;
• a plurality of blood sugar level measuring devices having second Bluetooth chips, respectively, which correspond to the plurality of insulin pumps and are communicated with the first Bluetooth chips in radio frequency (RF) communication;
• a Bluetooth communication device having a transmitting/receiving unit and a communication control unit;
• and
• a computer having a third Bluetooth chip that communicates with the Bluetooth communication device.

A method for controlling an insulin pump having a Bluetooth chip connected to a blood sugar level device having a Bluetooth chip and a computer having a Bluetooth chip via RF communication, the method comprising:

• allocating IDs to the insulin pump and blood sugar level measuring device having a Bluetooth chip, respectively;
• checking whether blood sugar level data is input from a blood sugar level measuring device corresponding to an ID;
• accumulating, when the blood sugar level data is input, the blood sugar level data and judging whether the blood sugar level data is in a normal state;
• generating a command to allow the insulin pump to operate according to a predetermined mode when the blood sugar level data is in a normal state;
• and
• generating a command to change an insulin injection amount of the insulin pump when the data is not in a normal state.

A method for controlling a plurality of insulin pumps having Bluetooth chips connected to a plurality of blood sugar level devices having Bluetooth chips and a computer having Bluetooth chips via RF communication, the method comprising:

• setting the insulin pumps to operate in a basic mode at the beginning;
• checking whether blood sugar level data is input from a corresponding blood sugar level measuring device;
• generating, when the blood sugar level data is input, a command to drive an insulin pump corresponding to the corresponding blood sugar level measuring device to inject an amount of insulin to match the input blood sugar level data;
• judging whether a doctor mode is required;
• generating a commend to first drive the corresponding insulin pump in the doctor mode when the doctor mode is required;
• and
• returning to the setting step when the doctor mode is completed.
