Abstract

An integrated system for the monitoring and treating diabetes is provided, including an integrated receiver/hand-held medicament injection pen, including electronics, for use with a continuous glucose sensor. In some embodiments, the receiver is configured to receive continuous glucose sensor data, to calculate a medicament therapy (e.g., via the integrated system electronics) and to automatically set a bolus dose of the integrated hand-held medicament injection pen, whereby the user can manually inject the bolus dose of medicament into the host. In some embodiments, the integrated receiver and hand-held medicament injection pen are integrally formed, while in other embodiments they are detachably connected and communicated via mutually engaging electrical contacts and/or via wireless communication.

Claims (41)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

forming a first wireless connection between a receiver device and a medicament delivery pump worn by a user;

forming a second wireless connection between the receiver device and a glucose monitor worn by the user;

receiving, at the receiver device, glucose sensor data from the glucose monitor via the second wireless connection;

displaying, on a display screen of the receiver device, a user interface, the user interface including a visual indication of a glucose measurement of the user determined based on the glucose sensor data and an amount of a bolus dose of medicament to be delivered to the user;

receiving, via the user interface, user input to select a user selectable menu item to deliver the bolus dose of the medicament to the user; and

responsive to the user input, causing the medicament delivery pump to deliver the bolus dose of the medicament to the user.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the receiver device comprises a phone.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the display screen of the receiver device comprises a touchscreen.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the user input is received via the touchscreen.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the amount of the bolus dose of medicament based at least in part on the glucose measurement of the user received from the glucose monitor.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the bolus dose of medicament is determined based on user input provided by the user via the user interface to set the amount of the bolus dose of the medicament.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, via the user interface, additional user input to cancel delivery of the bolus dose of the medicament, and canceling delivery of the bolus dose of the medicament responsive to the additional user input.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying, via the user interface, an amount of carbohydrates consumed by the user.

9 . A system comprising:

a medicament delivery pump;

a glucose monitor; and

a receiver device comprising at least a display screen and a memory and a processor configured to perform operations comprising:

forming a first wireless connection between the receiver device and the medicament delivery pump worn by a user;

forming a second wireless connection between the receiver device and the glucose monitor worn by the user;

receiving glucose sensor data from the glucose monitor via the second wireless connection;

displaying, on the display screen, a user interface, the user interface including a visual indication of a glucose measurement of the user determined based on the glucose sensor data, an amount of a bolus dose of medicament to be delivered to the user;

receiving, via the user interface, user input to select a user selectable menu item to deliver the bolus dose of the medicament to the user; and

responsive to the user input, causing the medicament delivery pump to deliver the bolus dose of the medicament to the user.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the receiver device comprises a phone.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the display screen of the receiver device comprises a touchscreen.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the user input is received via the touchscreen.

13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise determining the amount of the bolus dose of medicament based at least in part on the glucose measurement of the user received from the glucose monitor.

14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the amount of the bolus dose of medicament is determined based on user input provided by the user via the user interface to set the amount of the bolus dose of the medicament.

15 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving, via the user interface, additional user input to cancel delivery of the bolus dose of the medicament, and canceling delivery of the bolus dose of the medicament responsive to the additional user input.

16 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying, via the user interface, an amount of carbohydrates consumed by the user.

17 . One or more computer-readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by one or more processors, perform operations comprising:

forming a first wireless connection between a receiver device and a medicament delivery pump worn by a user;

forming a second wireless connection between the receiver device and a glucose monitor worn by the user;

receiving, at the receiver device, glucose sensor data from the glucose monitor via the second wireless connection;

displaying, on a display screen of the receiver device, a user interface, the user interface including a visual indication of a glucose measurement of the user determined based on the glucose sensor data and an amount of a bolus dose of medicament to be delivered to the user;

receiving, via the user interface, user input to select a user selectable menu item to deliver the bolus dose of the medicament to the user; and

responsive to the user input, causing the medicament delivery pump to deliver the bolus dose of the medicament to the user.

18 . The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 17 , wherein the receiver device comprises a phone.

19 . The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 17 , wherein the display screen of the receiver device comprises a touchscreen.

20 . The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 19 , wherein the user input is received via the touchscreen.
