US 2017/0364660 A1 · MEDICAL DEVICES AND RELATED EVENT PATTERN TREATMENT RECOMMENDATION METHODS

Abstract

Infusion devices and related patient management systems and methods are provided. An exemplary method of presenting information pertaining to operation of an infusion device to deliver fluid to a body of a patient involves identifying a plurality of event patterns within different monitoring periods based on measurement values for the patient's condition, prioritizing the identified event patterns based on one or more prioritization criteria, filtering the prioritized list of identified event patterns based on one or more filtering criteria, and then providing a respective pattern guidance display for each identified event pattern remaining in the filtered prioritized list. In exemplary embodiments, a respective pattern guidance display includes graphical indicia of one or more remedial actions, such as recommended therapy modifications for addressing the respective event pattern.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

an infusion device operable to deliver fluid to a body of a patient based on measurement values for a physiological condition in the body of the patient from a sensing arrangement, the fluid influencing the physiological condition;
and
a computing device communicatively coupled to the infusion device over a network to identify a plurality of event patterns within a plurality of monitoring periods based on the measurement values, prioritize the plurality of event patterns based on one or more prioritization criteria, filter the prioritized list of event patterns based on one or more filtering criteria, and generate a respective pattern guidance display for each respective event pattern of the filtered prioritized list, wherein the respective pattern guidance display for at least one respective event pattern of the filtered prioritized list includes a graphical representation of a remedial action.

A method of presenting information pertaining to operation of an infusion device to deliver insulin to a body of a patient, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a computing device, historical glucose measurement data for the patient from a database;
identifying, by the computing device, a plurality of event patterns within respective ones of a plurality of monitoring periods based on the historical glucose measurement data, wherein each monitoring period of the plurality of monitoring periods corresponds to a different time of day corresponding to a different subset of the historical glucose measurement data;
prioritizing, by the computing device, the plurality of event patterns based on one or more of an event type associated with respective event patterns of the plurality of event patterns and the respective monitoring period associated with respective event patterns of the plurality of event patterns, resulting in a prioritized list of event patterns;
identifying, by the computing device, a remedial action associated with a highest priority event pattern of the prioritized list;
and
generating, by the computing device, a pattern guidance display for the highest priority event pattern of the prioritized list, wherein the pattern guidance display includes a graphical representation of the remedial action.
