Abstract

Techniques disclosed herein relate to operating a fluid delivery device in a personalized manner based at least in part on historical data of a patient. In some embodiments, the techniques involve determining a predicted physiological condition of a patient in response to a future activity of the patient, based at least in part on historical data corresponding to the future activity for the patient; determining, based at least in part on the predicted physiological condition of the patient, an adjustment to fluid delivery to the patient by a medical device to prospectively account for the future activity; and operating the medical device to deliver a fluid to the patient in accordance with the adjustment.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein:

determining the adjustment comprises adjusting a target value of a physiological condition of the patient based on a relationship between the predicted physiological condition and the target value to obtain an adjusted target value; and

operating the medical device to deliver the fluid to the patient in accordance with the adjustment comprises:

determining a dosage command based at least in part on a difference between a current measurement value of the physiological condition and the adjusted target value of the physiological condition; and

operating an actuation arrangement of the medical device to deliver an amount of the fluid corresponding to the dosage command.
