Real time adaptive controller medication dosing
Systems and methods for monitoring accurate, real-time medicament device events, performing analytics on that data, and providing notifications are described. In various embodiments, an application server receives controller medication events, analyzes the events, associated event times, and controller medication dosage plans to characterize event times and send notifications for future doses. The controller medication dosage plan may specify a dose time for a planned dose, a narrow time window comprising the dose time, and an expanded time window comprising the narrow time window and longer in duration than the narrow time window, and the events may be characterized based on their time relative to the dose time, the time windows, and other events.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first priming action and the second priming action include activating a mechanism to release a dose of a medication from a packaging.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first priming action and the second priming action include shaking of a medication canister loaded into the medicament device.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein characterizing one of the first medication usage event and the second medication usage event as the excessive dose comprises:
determining whether the first recorded time or the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time;
in response to determining that the first recorded time is closer to the scheduled time, characterizing the second medication usage event as the excessive dose and the first medication usage event as an on-time dose; and
in response to determining that the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time, characterizing the first medication usage event as the excessive dose and the second medication usage event as an on-time dose.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to determining that one of the first recorded time and the second recorded time is within the time window and the other of the first recorded time and the second recorded time is not within the time window, characterizing the one within the time window as an on-time dose and the other not within the time window as an excessive dose.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the first recorded time and the second recorded time are not within the time window, determining whether the first recorded time or the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time;
in response to determining that the first recorded time is closer to the scheduled time, characterizing the first medication usage event as an off-schedule dose and the second medication usage event as an excessive dose; and
in response to determining that the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time, characterizing the first event as an excessive dose and the second event as an off-schedule dose.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving a first medication usage event by a medicament device recorded at a first recorded time and a second medication usage event by the medicament device recorded at a second recorded time, the second recorded time subsequent to the first recorded time;
determining whether the first recorded time is within a time window inclusive of a scheduled time for a planned dose specified in a controller medication dosage plan;
determining whether the second recorded time is within the time window;
in response to determining that the first recorded time and the second recorded time are within the time window:
characterizing one of the first medication usage event and the second medication usage event as an excessive dose;
generating a notification indicative of the characterization of one of the first medication usage event and the second medication usage event as the excessive dose; and
presenting the notification on a display of a computing device associated with the medicament device.
12. The storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the notification recommends a patient of the medicament device to skip a subsequent planned dose in the controller medication dosing plan.
13. The storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the notification provides an opportunity for a patient of the medicament device to update the controller medication dosing plan.
14. The storage medium of claim 11 , wherein a sensor is coupled to the medicament device and configured to detect a priming action of the medicament device, wherein the sensor recorded the first medication usage event responsive to having detected a first priming action of the medicament device at the first recorded time and the second medication usage event responsive to having detected a second priming action of the medicament device at the second recorded time.
15. The storage medium of claim 11 , wherein characterizing one of the first medication usage event and the second medication usage event as the excessive dose comprises:
determining whether the first recorded time or the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time;
in response to determining that the first recorded time is closer to the scheduled time, characterizing the second medication usage event as the excessive dose and the first medication usage event as an on-time dose; and
in response to determining that the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time, characterizing the first medication usage event as the excessive dose and the second medication usage event as an on-time dose.
16. The storage medium of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:
in response to determining that one of the first recorded time and the second recorded time is within the time window and the other of the first recorded time and the second recorded time is not within the time window, characterizing the one within the time window as an on-time dose and the other not within the time window as an excessive dose.
17. The storage medium of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:
in response to determining that the first recorded time and the second recorded time are not within the time window, determining whether the first recorded time or the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time;
