Optimizing medication dosage based on analyte sensor data
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an in vivo sensor;
a processor in electrical communication with the in vivo sensor; and
a memory coupled to the processor and operative to store instructions executable by the processor, the instructions include;
determining a first analyte level and a first rate of change of the first analyte level based on analyte data received from the in vivo sensor;
determining whether a medication is required based on the first analyte level relative to an an analyte level threshold, and the first rate of change of the first analyte level relative to a rate of change threshold; and
determining whether to administer the medication as a single medication dose or to fractionate the single medication dose into at least two discrete doses, the at least two discrete doses being an initial medication dose and one or more anticipated subsequent medication doses, wherein when it is determined to fractionate the single medication dose into the at least two discrete doses, the instructions executable by the processor further including;
determining the initial medication dose based on the one or more anticipated subsequent medication doses, the first analyte level relative to the analyte level threshold, and the first rate of change of the analyte level relative to the rate of change threshold;
determining a time at which to determine a subsequent medication dose based on one or more of the first analyte level and the first rate of change of the analyte level;
providing an indication to administer the initial medication dose;
determining a second analyte level and a second rate of change of the analyte level based on subsequent analyte data received from the in vivo sensor; and
determining the subsequent medication dose at the previously determined time based on the second analyte level relative to the analyte level threshold and the second rate of change of the analyte level relative to the rate of change threshold.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided for determining whether to administer a medication dose as a single dose or whether to fractionate the single dose to be administered as at least two discrete doses. Embodiments include determining a first analyte level and a first rate of change of the analyte level; determining an initial medication dose based on one or more anticipated subsequent medication doses, the first analyte level relative to an analyte level threshold, and the first rate of change of the analyte level relative to a rate of change threshold; administering the initial medication dose; determining a second analyte level and a second rate of change of the analyte level based on subsequent analyte data; and determining a subsequent medication dose based on the second analyte level relative to the analyte level threshold and the second rate of change relative to the rate of change threshold.
