Abstract

Techniques disclosed herein relate to managing transitions into fluid delivery device operating modes. In some embodiments, the techniques involve obtaining status information pertaining to operation of a fluid delivery device, the status information including fluid delivery data, exiting a closed-loop operating mode of the fluid delivery device based on the status information, and, after exiting the closed-loop operating mode, causing generation of a user notification recommending a remedial action to improve viability of a subsequent instance of the closed-loop operating mode. The closed-loop operating mode is an operating mode in which dosage commands are automatically generated based on sensor measurement data.

Claims (41)

1 . A processor-implemented method comprising:

obtaining status information pertaining to operation of a fluid delivery device, the status information including fluid delivery data;

based on the status information, exiting a closed-loop operating mode of the fluid delivery device, the closed-loop operating mode being an operating mode in which dosage commands are automatically generated based on sensor measurement data; and

after exiting the closed-loop operating mode, causing generation of a user notification recommending a remedial action to improve viability of a subsequent instance of the closed-loop operating mode.

2 . The processor-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the remedial action improves the viability of the subsequent instance of the closed-loop operating mode by reducing a likelihood that the subsequent instance of the closed-loop operating mode will automatically exit after reentry.

3 . The processor-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the user notification recommending the remedial action includes one or more user notifications to manipulate a blood glucose meter to obtain one or more blood glucose measurement values.

4 . The processor-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the remedial action includes calibrating, replacing, or recharging a sensor arrangement.

5 . The processor-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the viability of the subsequent instance of the closed-loop operating mode based on determining whether a control parameter of the closed-loop operating mode can be calculated based on the sensor measurement data.

6 . The processor-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the viability of the subsequent instance of the closed-loop operating mode based on determining at least one of viability, reliability, or accuracy of the sensor measurement data.

7 . The processor-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the status information indicates that one or more parameters of the closed-loop operating mode are invalid or unreliable.

8 . The processor-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the status information indicates that the fluid delivery device has delivered insulin at a maximum insulin delivery limit, at a minimum insulin delivery limit, or in a suspension state for over a certain duration.

9 . The processor-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein, in the closed-loop operating mode, the dosage commands are automatically generated based on the sensor measurement data and a target physiological condition.

10 . The processor-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining sensor measurement data from a sensor arrangement,

wherein exiting the closed-loop operating mode of the fluid delivery device includes exiting the closed-loop operating mode of the fluid delivery device based on the sensor measurement data.

11 . 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 the one or more processors to perform operations including:

obtaining status information pertaining to operation of a fluid delivery device, the status information including fluid delivery data;

based on the status information, exiting a closed-loop operating mode of the fluid delivery device, the closed-loop operating mode being an operating mode in which dosage commands are automatically generated based on sensor measurement data; and

after exiting the closed-loop operating mode, causing generation of a user notification recommending a remedial action to improve viability of a subsequent instance of the closed-loop operating mode.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the remedial action improves the viability of the subsequent instance of the closed-loop operating mode by reducing a likelihood that the subsequent instance of the closed-loop operating mode will automatically exit after reentry.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the remedial action includes calibrating, replacing, or recharging a sensor arrangement.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the user notification recommending the remedial action includes one or more user notifications to manipulate a blood glucose meter to obtain one or more blood glucose measurement values.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further include determining the viability of the subsequent instance of the closed-loop operating mode based on:

whether a control parameter of the closed-loop operating mode can be calculated based on the sensor measurement data; or

at least one of viability, reliability, or accuracy of the sensor measurement data.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the status information indicates that:

one or more parameters of the closed-loop operating mode are invalid or unreliable; or

the fluid delivery device has delivered insulin at a maximum insulin delivery limit, at a minimum insulin delivery limit, or in a suspension state for over a certain duration.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further include:

obtaining sensor measurement data from a sensor arrangement,

wherein exiting the closed-loop operating mode of the fluid delivery device includes exiting the closed-loop operating mode of the fluid delivery device based on the sensor measurement data.

18 . One or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

obtaining status information pertaining to operation of a fluid delivery device, the status information including fluid delivery data;

based on the status information, exiting a closed-loop operating mode of the fluid delivery device, the closed-loop operating mode being an operating mode in which dosage commands are automatically generated based on sensor measurement data; and

after exiting the closed-loop operating mode, causing generation of a user notification recommending a remedial action to improve viability of a subsequent instance of the closed-loop operating mode.

19 . The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media of claim 18 , wherein the user notification recommending the remedial action includes one or more user notifications to manipulate a blood glucose meter to obtain one or more blood glucose measurement values.

20 . The one or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media of claim 18 , wherein the status information indicates that:

one or more parameters of the closed-loop operating mode are invalid or unreliable; or

the fluid delivery device has delivered insulin at a maximum insulin delivery limit, at a minimum insulin delivery limit, or in a suspension state for over a certain duration.
