Abstract
An apparatus comprising a pump, an input configured to receive information related to a user, a user interface, and a controller communicatively coupled to the pump, the input, and the user interface. The controller includes a timing module configured to initiate delivery of a drug in time and to adjust delivery according to the received information. Other devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.
Claims31
An apparatus comprising:
- a pump configured to deliver a drug from a cartridge;
- a user interface;
- a memory to store guideline parameters related to use of the apparatus;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the pump, the memory, and the user interface, wherein the controller includes:
- a comparison module configured to compare patient use parameters to the stored guideline parameters;
- and
- a scoring module configured to calculate a score indicative of efficacy of patient pump use based on a comparison by the comparison module, and
- wherein the controller is configured to communicate advice to the user on how to increase the efficacy of patient pump use.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- monitoring patient use of a device that includes a pump, wherein the monitoring includes comparing patient use parameters to stored guideline parameters;
- calculating a score indicative of efficacy of patient pump use based on the monitoring;
- and
- communicating advice to the user on how to increase pump efficacy.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a pump configured to deliver a drug therapy;
- a memory configured to store a delivery pattern of the drug therapy;
- a user interface configured to receive time change information;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the pump, the memory, and the user interface, wherein the controller includes a timing module configured to shift the delivery pattern in time according to the received time change information.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving time change information into a device having a pump;
- and
