US 2026/0180665 A1 · ANTENNA ARRAY FOR AUTOMATED MEDICAMENT DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND DEVICES AND OTHER WEARABLE DEVICES

Abstract

Methods and systems for controlling an antenna array of an automated medicament delivery device are disclosed. The method includes causing the antenna array to transition between multiple array configurations. The multiple array configurations are chosen from among configurations that vary at least one characteristic of a signal emitted or received by one or more antennas of the antenna array, configurations that vary an activation status of the plurality of antennas, and configurations that vary a combination of the at least one characteristic of a signal and an activation status of the plurality of antennas. The method also includes measuring a power of a received signal for each configuration of the multiple array configurations of the antenna array. The method further includes selecting an array configuration of the multiple array configurations based at least in part on results of the measuring and setting the antenna array to the array configuration selected.

A method for controlling an antenna array of an automated medicament delivery device configured to administer medicament to a user-body, the method comprising:

causing the antenna array to transition between multiple array configurations, the antenna array comprising a plurality of antennas and the multiple array configurations chosen from among configurations that vary at least one characteristic of a signal emitted or received by one or more antennas of the plurality of antennas, configurations that vary an activation status of the plurality of antennas, and configurations that vary a combination of the at least one characteristic of the signal and the activation status of the plurality of antennas;
measuring a power of a received signal for each configuration of the multiple array configurations of the antenna array;
selecting an array configuration of the multiple array configurations based at least in part on results of the measuring and setting the antenna array to the array configuration selected;
and
receiving, while the antenna array is in the array configuration selected, data from at least one device chosen from among an analyte sensor on the user-body and a controller paired with the automated medicament delivery device.
