1. A medical infusion pump system, comprising:
- a pump housing configured to receive medicine for dispensation to a user, the pump housing at least partially containing a pump drive system to dispense the medicine through a flow path to the user;
a controller configured to control the pump drive system to dispense the medicine from the pump housing; and
wherein the controller is configured to control the dispensation of the medicine according to a closed-loop delivery mode in which the controller controls the pump drive system to dispense the medicine, receives feedback data in response to the dispensation of the medicine, automatically delivers a corrected dosage of the medicine determined based at least in part on the feedback data, and determines one or more user-specific settings based at least in part on the feedback data and according to an open-loop delivery mode in which one or more insulin dosages for dispensation are based at least in part on the one or more user-specific settings that were determined during the closed-loop delivery mode, wherein said one or more insulin dosages for dispensation during the open-loop delivery mode include a suggested bolus dosage calculated and displayed by the controller during the open-loop delivery mode, wherein the controller determines the suggested bolus dosage during the open-loop delivery mode based at least in part on the one or more user-specific settings of any of the user'"'"'s insulin sensitivity and the user'"'"'s carbohydrate ratio, the one or more user-specific settings being determined and stored by the controller during the closed-loop delivery mode.

Abstract
An infusion pump system can operate to control dispensation of medicine according to a closed-loop delivery mode and according to an open-loop delivery mode. In the closed-loop delivery mode, the system can determine user-specific settings. In the open-loop delivery mode, the system can determine insulin dosages for dispensation based at least in part on the user-specific settings that were determined during the closed-loop delivery mode.

11. A portable insulin pump system, comprising:
-
a disposable and non-reusable pump device including; a pump housing that defines a space to receive an insulin cartridge; and a drive system to dispense insulin when the insulin cartridge is received by the pump housing, the drive system including a piston rod that is incrementally movable to apply a dispensing force; and a removable controller device including; a controller housing configured to removably attach to the pump housing to provide an electrical connection between the controller device and the pump device; control circuitry arranged in the controller housing to electrically communicate with the drive system in the pump housing; a user interface connected to the control circuitry, the user interface including a display and one or more user-selectable buttons; and a wireless communication device to receive glucose information from a wearable monitoring device, the glucose information being indicative of a blood glucose level of the user, wherein the removable controller device is configured to control dispensation of medicine to a user according to a closed-loop delivery mode in which the controller controls the drive system to dispense the medicine, receives feedback data in response to the dispensation of the medicine, automatically delivers a corrected dosage of the medicine determined based at least in part on the feedback data, and determines customized dosage parameters that are specific to the user based at least in part on the feedback data and according to an open-loop delivery mode in which insulin dosages for dispensation to the user are based at least in part on the customized dosage parameters that were determined during the closed-loop delivery mode, wherein the insulin dosages include a suggested bolus dosage calculated during the open-loop delivery mode, wherein the customized dosage parameters include a customized insulin sensitivity and a customized carbohydrate ratio that are used in the open-loop delivery mode to determine the suggested bolus dosage.
