Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for identifying therapeutic zones where there is glycemic dysfunction of a specific type that can be addressed by making strategic changes to behavior and/or therapy parameters. Systems and methods described herein evaluate large historical data sets to: identify a therapeutic zone or zones with glycemic dysfunction that are most readily addressable; quantify the glycemic impact of a plurality of different therapeutic adjustments in terms of either adjustments to historical doses or the parameters of a prospective dosing strategy to determine the highest possible improvement; and/or identify patient dosing strategies to provide therapy recommendations adapted for the patient's preferred behavioral dosing strategy.

Claims (53)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving at least one of glucose data, insulin data, or other-diabetes related data of a patient;

identifying a therapeutic improvement opportunity using the at least one of glucose data, insulin data, or other-diabetes related data;

identifying an insulin dosing strategy of the patient;

scoring the insulin dosing strategy for patient compliance;

performing optimization for the insulin dosing strategy; and

providing an output comprising optimized insulin strategy parameters to a user.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the other diabetes-related data comprises at least one of meal information, specificity of meals, timing of meals, sizing of meals, carbohydrate estimates, composition information, or exercise information.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of glucose data, insulin data, or other-diabetes related data is received from at least one of a patient or a connected system or device.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the therapeutic improvement opportunity comprises receiving a user selection of at least one of a mealtime, a time of day, or a parameter setting.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the parameter setting is a carb ratio.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the insulin dosing strategy comprises a diabetes management or insulin strategy being implemented by the patient in practice as determined from the at least one of glucose data, insulin data, or other-diabetes related data of a patient.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein performing optimization for the insulin dosing strategy determines whether the patient adheres to a known insulin strategy and analyzes the effect of percentage changes to the parameters of the identified insulin strategy.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user is at least one of a clinician, a patient, or a connected device or system.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the output is provided by a natural language processor to describe a candidate change and an optimized risk outcome.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the output comprises providing an output in the form of a graph illustrating the optimized insulin strategy parameters to a user interface or connected device.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the connected device comprises a bolus calculator.

12 . A system comprising:

a therapeutic improvement identifier configured to evaluate collated glucose and insulin data of a patient to identify areas for therapy optimization in a diabetes management routine of the patient, and to generate a therapeutic improvement;

an insulin strategy optimizer configured to determine whether the patient adheres to a known insulin strategy and analyze the effect of percentage changes to the parameters of the identified insulin strategy; and

a therapy identifier optimizer report generator that provides an output.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the insulin strategy optimizer comprises:

an insulin strategy identifier configured to identify a diabetes management or insulin strategy being implemented by the patient in practice as determined from the collated glucose and insulin data;

a compliance scorer configured to quantify a compliance of the patient with the identified insulin strategy; and

an insulin strategy optimizer within identified behavior configured to perform optimization for the identified insulin strategy.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the diabetes data comprises insulin data and meal data.

15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the insulin strategy identifier is configured to identify patterns in dosing and characterizes the identified insulin strategy of the patient based thereon.

16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the insulin strategy is the behavioral methodology that the patient applies in diabetes management, comprising at least one of types of insulin pump usage, multiple daily injections, or type 2 therapies.

17 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the compliance scorer is configured to generate a score computed for a degree of compliance of the patient with the identified insulin strategy.

18 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the insulin strategy optimizer within identified behavior is configured to iteratively propose percentage changes to the parameters of the strategy in a selected therapeutic zone or zone group.

19 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the output comprises optimized insulin strategy parameters.

20 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the therapy identifier optimizer report generator is configured to output a candidate therapy change to a user.

21 . The system of claim 20 , wherein the user is at least one of a clinician, a patient, or a connected device or system.

22 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the output is provided by a natural language processor to describe a candidate change and an optimized risk outcome.

23 . A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:

receive at least one of glucose data, insulin data, or other-diabetes related data of a patient;

identify a therapeutic improvement opportunity using the at least one of glucose data, insulin data, or other-diabetes related data;

identify an insulin dosing strategy of the patient;

score the insulin dosing strategy for patient compliance;

perform optimization for the insulin dosing strategy; and

provide an output comprising optimized insulin strategy parameters to a user.

24 . The system of claim 23 , wherein the other diabetes-related data comprises at least one of meal information, specificity of meals, timing of meals, sizing of meals, carbohydrate estimates, composition information, or exercise information.

25 . The system of claim 23 , wherein the at least one of glucose data, insulin data, or other-diabetes related data is received from at least one of a patient or a connected system or device.

26 . The system of claim 23 , wherein identifying the therapeutic improvement opportunity comprises receiving a user selection of at least one of a mealtime, a time of day, or a parameter setting.

27 . The system of claim 26 , wherein the parameter setting is a carb ratio.

28 . The system of claim 23 , wherein the insulin dosing strategy comprises a diabetes management or insulin strategy being implemented by the patient in practice as determined from the at least one of glucose data, insulin data, or other-diabetes related data of a patient.

29 . The system of claim 23 , wherein performing optimization for the insulin dosing strategy determines whether the patient adheres to a known insulin strategy and analyzes the effect of percentage changes to the parameters of the identified insulin strategy.

30 . The system of claim 23 , wherein the user is at least one of a clinician, a patient, or a connected device or system.

31 . The system of claim 23 , wherein the output is provided by a natural language processor to describe a candidate change and an optimized risk outcome.

32 . The system of claim 23 , wherein providing the output comprises providing an output in the form of a graph illustrating the optimized insulin strategy parameters to a user interface or connected device.

33 . The system of claim 32 , wherein the connected device comprises a bolus calculator.
