Abstract

A processor-implemented method includes causing fluid delivery to a patient based on a first value for a control parameter, identifying a second value for the control parameter based on a determination that a current operational context is associated with the second value, and causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the second value for the control parameter in lieu of the first value for the control parameter.

Claims (37)

1. A processor-implemented method comprising:

causing fluid delivery to a patient based on a first value for a control parameter;

identifying a second value for the control parameter based on a determination that a current operational context is associated with the second value; and

causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the second value for the control parameter in lieu of the first value for the control parameter.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

after causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the second value, causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the first value in lieu of the second value.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the first value in lieu of the second value comprises:

identifying the first value for the control parameter based on a determination that the current operational context has changed.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control parameter is a target value utilized by a closed-loop control system.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control parameter is a basal rate setting utilized in an open-loop operating mode of a fluid delivery device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the current operational context comprises a time of day.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the current operational context comprises an activity level of the patient.

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:

causing fluid delivery to a patient based on a first value for a control parameter;

identifying a second value for the control parameter based on a determination that a current operational context is associated with the second value; and

causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the second value for the control parameter in lieu of the first value for the control parameter.

9. The system of 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:

after causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the second value, causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the first value in lieu of the second value.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the first value in lieu of the second value comprises:

identifying the first value for the control parameter based on a determination that the current operational context has changed.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the control parameter is a target value utilized by a closed-loop control system.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the control parameter is a basal rate setting utilized in an open-loop operating mode of a fluid delivery device.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the current operational context comprises a time of day.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the current operational context comprises an activity level of the patient.

15. One or more processor-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of:

causing fluid delivery to a patient based on a first value for a control parameter;

identifying a second value for the control parameter based on a determination that a current operational context is associated with the second value; and

causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the second value for the control parameter in lieu of the first value for the control parameter.

16. The one or more processor-readable storage media of claim 15 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of:

after causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the second value, causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the first value in lieu of the second value.

17. The one or more processor-readable storage media of claim 16 , wherein causing fluid delivery to the patient based on the first value in lieu of the second value comprises:

identifying the first value for the control parameter based on a determination that the current operational context has changed.

18. The one or more processor-readable storage media of claim 15 , wherein the control parameter is a target value utilized by a closed-loop control system.

19. The one or more processor-readable storage media of claim 15 , wherein the control parameter is a basal rate setting utilized in an open-loop operating mode of a fluid delivery device.

20. The one or more processor-readable storage media of claim 15 , wherein the current operational context includes at least one of a group comprising a time of day and an activity level of the patient.
