Intuitive user interface features and related functionality for a therapy delivery system

A medical device that regulates delivery of medication to a user, the medical device comprising:

• a drive system;
• at least one processor device that regulates operation of the drive system to deliver a fluid medication from the medical device;
• a display device;
• and
• at least one memory element associated with the at least one processor device, the at least one memory element storing processor-executable instructions configurable to be executed by the at least one processor device to perform a method of controlling operation of the medical device, the method comprising:
• receiving meter-generated values that are indicative of a physiological characteristic of the user, the meter-generated values produced in response to operation of an analyte meter device;
• obtaining sensor-generated values that are indicative of the physiological characteristic of the user, the sensor-generated values produced in response to operation of a continuous analyte sensor device, different than the analyte meter device;
• when a meter-generated value is available, operating the medical device in a first mode to display, on the display device, the valid meter-generated value on a user monitoring screen and on a therapy delivery control screen, and operating the medical device in the first mode to calculate therapy dosage for delivery based on the valid meter-generated value;
• when a meter-generated value is unavailable and a current sensor-generated value of the sensor-generated values satisfies first quality criteria, operating the medical device in a second mode to display, on the display device, the current sensor-generated value on the user monitoring screen and on the therapy delivery control screen, and operating the medical device in the second mode to calculate therapy dosage for delivery based on the current sensor-generated value;
• and
• when a valid meter-generated value is unavailable and the current sensor-generated value satisfies second quality criteria but does not satisfy the first quality criteria, operating the medical device in a third mode to display, on the display device, the current sensor-generated value on the user monitoring screen, operating the medical device in the third mode to inhibit display of the current sensor-generated value on the therapy delivery control screen, and operating the medical device to inhibit use of the current sensor-generated value for purposes of calculating therapy dosage for delivery.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising program instructions stored thereon, wherein the program instructions are configurable to cause at least one processor device to perform a method comprising:

• receiving meter-generated values that are indicative of a physiological characteristic of the user, the meter-generated values produced in response to operation of an analyte meter device;
• obtaining sensor-generated values that are indicative of the physiological characteristic of the user, the sensor-generated values produced in response to operation of a continuous analyte sensor device, different than the analyte meter device;
• when a valid meter-generated value is available, operating the medical device in a first mode to display the valid meter-generated value on a user monitoring screen of the medical device and on a therapy delivery control screen of the medical device, and operating the medical device in the first mode to calculate therapy dosage for delivery based on the valid meter-generated value;
• when a valid meter-generated value is unavailable and a current sensor-generated value satisfies first quality criteria, operating the medical device in a second mode to display the current sensor-generated value on the user monitoring screen and on the therapy delivery control screen, and operating the medical device in the second mode to calculate therapy dosage for delivery based on the current sensor-generated value and not a meter-generated value;
• and
• when a valid meter-generated value is unavailable and the current sensor-generated value satisfies second quality criteria but does not satisfy the first quality criteria, operating the medical device in a third mode to display the current sensor-generated value on the user monitoring screen, operating the medical device in the third mode to inhibit display of the current sensor-generated value on the therapy delivery control screen, and operating the medical device to inhibit use of the current sensor-generated value for purposes of calculating therapy dosage for delivery.
