Adjustment of medication dosages based on detection of physical behavior events
The disclosed techniques include obtaining sensor data from one or more sensors configured to detect movement related to a user of the one or more sensors, and determining, based on the sensor data, of an occurrence of a gesture-based physical behavior event of the user. The techniques further cause adjustment of a medication dosage for delivery to the user based on determining the occurrence of the gesture-based physical behavior event.

determining, based on the sensor data,
occurrence of a gesture-based physical behavior event of the user, the gesture-based physical behavior event including an eating event or a drinking event; and
pace of the eating event or the drinking event; and
based on determining the occurrence of the gesture-based physical behavior event and the pace of the eating event or the drinking event, causing adjustment of a medication dosage for delivery to the user, wherein a dosage and timing of medication delivery is dynamically determined as a function of the occurrence and pace of the gesture-based physical behavior event.

the medication dosage is a dosage of insulin, and
causing adjustment of the medication dosage comprises calculating: the dosage of insulin to be administered and a schedule for delivery of the calculated dosage of insulin.
8. A processor-implemented method comprising:
obtaining sensor data from one or more sensors configured to detect movement related to a user of the one or more sensors;
determining, based on the sensor data,
occurrence of a gesture-based physical behavior event of the user, the gesture-based physical behavior event including an eating event or a drinking event; and
pace of the eating event or the drinking event; and
based on determining the occurrence of the gesture-based physical behavior event and the pace of the eating event or the drinking event, causing adjustment of a medication dosage for delivery to the user, wherein a dosage and timing of medication delivery is dynamically determined as a function of the occurrence and pace of the gesture-based physical behavior event.
9. The processor-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising determining, based on the sensor data, gestures of the user.
10. The processor-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the gesture-based physical behavior event includes user activity that is unrelated to a food intake event.
11. The processor-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the user activity that is unrelated to the food intake event comprises at least one of a group comprising a smoking event, a personal hygiene event, and a medication related event.
12. The processor-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the adjustment of the medication dosage is based on characteristics of the gesture-based physical behavior event.
13. The processor-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein:
the characteristics of the gesture-based physical behavior event comprise at least one of the following characteristics of a food intake event: time duration; pace; start time; end time; number of bites; number of sips; eating method; type of utensils used; type of containers used; amount of chewing before swallowing; chewing speed; amount of food consumed; time between bites; time between sips; and content of food consumed.
14. The processor-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein:
the medication dosage is a dosage of insulin, and
causing adjustment of the medication dosage comprises calculating: the dosage of insulin to be administered and a schedule for delivery of the calculated dosage of insulin.
15. One or more non-transitory processor-readable media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of:
obtaining sensor data from one or more sensors configured to detect movement related to a user of the one or more sensors;
determining, based on the sensor data,
occurrence of a gesture-based physical behavior event of the user, the gesture-based physical behavior event including an eating event or a drinking event; and
pace of the eating event or the drinking event; and
based on determining the occurrence of the gesture-based physical behavior event and the pace of the eating event or the drinking event, causing adjustment of a medication dosage for delivery to the user, wherein a dosage and timing of medication delivery is dynamically determined as a function of the occurrence and pace of the gesture-based physical behavior event.
16. The one or more non-transitory processor-readable media of claim 15 , further storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:
