Medicine administration in dynamic networks
Disclosed herein are techniques related to medicine administration in dynamic networks. The techniques may involve identifying an amount of medicine for delivery to a patient and determining a communication path toward a first medicine administration device of a plurality of medicine administration devices in a mesh network. The plurality of medicine administration devices may further include a second medicine administration device that is prioritized over the first medicine administration device for delivering medicine to the patient. The techniques may further involve causing delivery of the amount of medicine to the patient by the first medicine administration device based on communicating the amount of medicine toward the first medicine administration device via the communication path when the amount of medicine remains undelivered by the second medicine administration device.
1. A processor-implemented method, comprising:
identifying an amount of medicine for delivery to a patient;
determining a communication path toward a first medicine administration device of a plurality of medicine administration devices in a mesh network, the plurality of medicine administration devices further comprising a second medicine administration device that is prioritized over the first medicine administration device for delivering medicine to the patient; and
when the amount of medicine remains undelivered by the second medicine administration device, causing delivery of the amount of medicine to the patient by the first medicine administration device based on communicating the amount of medicine toward the first medicine administration device via the communication path.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mesh network is a full mesh network.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mesh network is a partial mesh network.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the communication path includes a relay node that is communicatively coupled to the first medicine administration device via a different communication path.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first medicine administration device is an insulin infusion device, and wherein the second medicine administration device is an insulin injection device.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the communication path comprises determining that the first medicine administration device is connected to the mesh network.
7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
prior to causing delivery of the amount of medicine, determining that the amount of medicine remains undelivered to the patient by the first medicine administration device.
8. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more processor-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:
identifying an amount of medicine for delivery to a patient,
determining a communication path toward a first medicine administration device of a plurality of medicine administration devices in a mesh network, the plurality of medicine administration devices further comprising a second medicine administration device that is prioritized over the first medicine administration device for delivering medicine to the patient, and
when the amount of medicine remains undelivered by the second medicine administration device, causing delivery of the amount of medicine to the patient by the first medicine administration device based on communicating the amount of medicine toward the first medicine administration device via the communication path.
9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the mesh network is a full mesh network.
10. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the mesh network is a partial mesh network.
11. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the communication path includes a relay node that is communicatively coupled to the first medicine administration device via a different communication path.
12. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the first medicine administration device is an insulin infusion device, and wherein the second medicine administration device is an insulin injection device.
13. The system according to claim 8 , wherein determining the communication path comprises determining that the first medicine administration device is connected to the mesh network.
14. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more processor-readable storage media further store instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:
prior to causing delivery of the amount of medicine, determining that the amount of medicine remains undelivered to the patient by the first medicine administration device.
15. One or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of:
identifying an amount of medicine for delivery to a patient,
determining a communication path toward a first medicine administration device of a plurality of medicine administration devices in a mesh network, the plurality of medicine administration devices further comprising a second medicine administration device that is prioritized over the first medicine administration device for delivering medicine to the patient, and
when the amount of medicine remains undelivered by the second medicine administration device, causing delivery of the amount of medicine to the patient by the first medicine administration device based on communicating the amount of medicine toward the first medicine administration device via the communication path.
16. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media according to claim 15 , wherein the mesh network is a full mesh network.
17. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media according to claim 15 , wherein the mesh network is a partial mesh network.
18. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media according to claim 15 , wherein the communication path includes a relay node that is communicatively coupled to the first medicine administration device via a different communication path.
19. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media according to claim 15 , wherein the first medicine administration device is an insulin infusion device, and wherein the second medicine administration device is an insulin injection device.
20. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media according to claim 15 , wherein determining the communication path comprises determining that the first medicine administration device is connected to the mesh network.
