Data management unit for supporting health control

A data management unit for supporting health control, the unit comprising:

• a processor adapted to provide a dose helper functionality comprising a titration method with regard to a predefined medicament, the titration method determining and/or recommending a medicament dose value or a corrective amount of the medicament dose value;
• a display connected to the processor and adapted to display received messages;
• a data input unit adapted to input data or requests and connected to the processor;
• a data storage adapted to store a usual dose time and a dose time window, a predefined recommendation message, a time of a dose helper request, a predefined criterion, wherein the data storage is connected to the processor;
• and
• a clock unit adapted to determine time of a dose helper request received by the data input unit, wherein the clock unit is connected to the processor,
• wherein the processor is adapted to initiate storing at least the time of the dose helper request when the time is outside the dose time window around the usual dose time,
• wherein the processor is further adapted to execute the dose helper functionality only when a time of a most recent dose helper request is within the dose time window around the usual dose time, and
• wherein the processor is further adapted to initiate sending a recommendation message for change of at least one of the usual dose time and the dose time window to the display when a time distribution of a plurality of most recent dose helper requests within a predefined time period corresponds to the predefined criterion.

A method for operating a data management unit for supporting health control, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a data input unit, a dose helper request, the data input unit being connected to a processor;
• determining, by a clock unit, time of receiving the dose helper request, the clock unit being connected to the processor;
• in response to determining that the time of the dose helper request is outside a dose time window around a usual dose time, initiate storing, by a processor, the time in a data storage connected to the processor;
• in response to determining that the time is within the time window around the usual dose time, executing, by the processor, a dose helper functionality comprising a titration method with regard to a predefined medicament, the titration method determining and/or recommending a medicament dose value or a corrective amount of the medicament dose value;
• and
• in response to determining that a time distribution of a plurality of most recent dose helper requests within a predefined time period corresponds to a predefined criterion, sending, by the processor, a predefined recommendation message for change of at least one of the usual dose time and the dose time window to a display connected to the processor,
• wherein the usual dose time, the dose time window, the predefined recommendation message, and the predefined criterion are stored in the data storage.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations for supporting health control, the operations comprising:

• receiving a dose helper request, the data input unit being connected to a processor;
• determining time of receiving the dose helper request, the clock unit being connected to the processor;
• in response to determining that the time of the dose helper request is outside a dose time window around a usual dose time, initiate storing the time in a data storage connected to the processor;
• in response to determining that the time is within the time window around the usual dose time, executing a dose helper functionality comprising a titration method with regard to a predefined medicament, the titration method determining and/or recommending a medicament dose value or a corrective amount of the medicament dose value;
• and
• in response to determining that a time distribution of a plurality of most recent dose helper requests within a predefined time period corresponds to a predefined criterion, sending a predefined recommendation message for change of at least one of the usual dose time and the dose time window to a display connected to the processor,
• wherein the usual dose time, the dose time window, the predefined recommendation message, and the predefined criterion are stored in a data storage.
