Therapy assist information and/or tracking device and related methods and systems
A monitoring feature, such as, for example, a pen cap, for an insulin delivery device may include at least one circuit adapted to detect at least one of a capping or decapping of the pen cap from an insulin pen and a processor for using information to the at least one of a capping or decapping of the pen cap. A monitoring feature for an insulin delivery device includes at least one circuit adapted to detect use of the insulin delivery device.
1. A pen cap for an insulin pen comprising:
at least one user interface to display at least one of therapy relevant information, therapy recommendations, or a time of the at least one of a capping or decapping of the pen cap;
a controller comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to:
detect at least one of a capping or decapping of the pen cap from an insulin pen; and
responsive to the pen cap being capped on the insulin pen for a threshold period of time, cause the at least one user interface to display a recommended correction dose of insulin based at least partially on an insulin sensitivity factor and a target glucose value.
2. The pen cap of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to: receive glucose data.
3. The pen cap of claim 1 , wherein the pen cap is configured to be utilized with one of a long-acting insulin pen or a rapid-acting insulin pen.
4. The pen cap of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to: cause a communication interface of the pen cap to generate a fist wireless signal and a second wireless signal, wherein the second wireless signal has a communication range that is larger than communication range of the first wireless signal.
5. The pen cap of claim 4 , wherein the first wireless signal is configured for communication with a glucose monitor when the glucose monitor is positioned within the communication range of the first wireless signal of the pen cap.
6. The pen cap of claim 4 , wherein the second wireless signal is configured to communicate with at least one of a glucose monitor or another remote device.
7. The pen cap of claim 4 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to: automatically communicate with at least one of a glucose monitor or another remote device via the second wireless signal.
8. The pen cap of claim 4 , wherein the communication interface comprises at least one wireless radio.
9. The pen cap of claim 4 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to:
detect a glucose monitor within the communication range of the first wireless signal of the pen cap; and
cause the communication interface to communicate with the glucose monitor via a near field communication protocol.
10. The pen cap of claim 4 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to:
cause the communication interface to communicate with a glucose monitor via a first communication protocol; and
cause the communication interface to communicate with a mobile computing device via a second, different communication protocol.
11. The pen cap of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to: communicate with a glucose sensor system comprising a flash glucose monitor.
12. The pen cap of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to: cause the at least one user interface to display a representation of a percentage of active insulin remaining within a user based on a time of a previous capping or decapping of the pen cap and a current time.
13. The pen cap of claim 12 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to:
determine an amount of insulin remaining in the insulin pen;
determine a dose amount and time associated within a previous capping or decapping of the pen cap; and
cause the at least one user interface to display an estimation of active insulin remaining within the user based a current time and the time and dose amount associated with the previous capping or decapping of the pen cap.
14. A pen cap for an insulin delivery device comprising:
at least one user interface to display at least one of therapy relevant information, therapy recommendations, or a time of the at least one of a capping or decapping of the pen cap; and
a controller comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the pen cap to:
detect motion of the pen cap; and
responsive to the pen cap being motionless for at least a threshold period of time, cause the at least one user interface to display a recommended correction dose of insulin based at least partially on an insulin sensitivity factor and a target glucose value stored in memory.
15. The pen cap of claim 14 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to: receive glucose data from a blood glucose monitor.
16. The pen cap of claim 14 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to: cause a communication interface of the pen cap to generate a fist wireless signal and a second wireless signal, wherein the second wireless signal has a communication range that is larger than communication range of the first wireless signal.
17. The pen cap of claim 16 , wherein the first wireless signal is configured for communication with a glucose monitor when the glucose monitor is positioned within the communication range of the first wireless signal of the pen cap.
18. The pen cap of claim 16 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to:
cause the communication interface to communicate with a glucose monitor via a first communication protocol; and
cause the communication interface to communicate with a mobile computing device via a second, different communication protocol.
19. A method of delivering insulin, comprising:
detecting at least one of a capping or decapping of a pen cap from an insulin pen; and
responsive to the pen cap being capped on the insulin pen for a threshold period of time, displaying a recommended correction dose of insulin based at least partially on an insulin sensitivity factor and a target glucose value.
20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising, responsive to the pen cap being motionless for at least a threshold period of time, displaying a recommended correction dose of insulin.
