Calculating a medicament dose
First Claim
1. A device for determining and displaying a dose of a medicament for treatment of a user with basal insulin or analogues thereof, or glargine insulin or analogues thereof to achieve glycemic control and to be administered to the user based, at least in part, on a measure of physical activity of the user, the device comprising:
- a determining unit configured to determine a measure of physical activity of the user using information provided by one or more sensors;
a computer readable memory storing a set of predefined templates comprising predefined actions, rules, and parameters defining at least an initial medicament dose value, the measure of physical activity of the user, a time elapsed between an instance of physical activity and a current time, and a target blood glucose value, wherein the determining unit is further configured to determine the dose of the medicament based, at least in part, on the measure of physical activity of the user, by execution of one or more templates from the set of predefined templates, at least one of the predefined templates, upon execution, being configured to afford a higher weight to an instance of physical activity having a higher level of intensity such that the higher level of intensity results in a disproportionately greater increase in the weight afforded to the medicament dose than a respective recorded value of the determined level of intensity;
a display unit configured to indicate the determined dose of the medicament to the user; and
a dose setting unit configured to receive the determined dose of the medicament from the determining unit and set the determined dose in a dose delivering unit, wherein the dose delivering unit is configured to deliver the determined dose to treat the user.

Abstract
A device for determining and displaying a dose of a medicament to be administered to a user based, at least in part, on a measure of physical activity of the user described herein includes a determining unit configured determine a measure of physical activity of the user using information provided by one or more sensors. The device also includes a computer readable memory storing a set of predefined templates comprising predefined actions, rules, and parameters defining at least an initial medicament dose value, the measure of physical activity of the user, a time elapsed between an instance of physical activity and a current time, and a target blood glucose value, wherein the determining unit is further configured to determine the medicament dose based, at least in part, on the measure of physical activity of the user, by execution of one or more templates from the set of predefined templates.

19. A method of operating a device for determining and displaying a dose of a medicament for treatment of a user with basal insulin or analogues thereof, or glargine insulin or analogues thereof to achieve glycemic control based, at least in part, on a measure of physical activity of the user, the method comprising:
-
determining, by a determining unit of the device, a measure of physical activity of a user using information provided by one or more sensors; executing, using one or more processors of the device, one or more predefined templates from a set of predefined templates stored in a computer readable memory to determine a dose of the medicament based, at least in part, on the measure of physical activity of the user, the set of predefined templates comprising parameters defining at least an initial medicament dose value, the measure of physical activity of the user, a time elapsed between an instance of physical activity and a current time, and a target blood glucose value, at least one of the predefined templates, upon execution, being configured to afford a higher weight to an instance of physical activity having a higher level of intensity such that the higher level of intensity results in a disproportionately greater increase in the weight afforded to the medicament dose than a respective recorded value of the determined level of intensity; indicating, by a display unit, the determined dose of the medicament to the user; setting, by a dose setting unit configured to receive the determined dose of the medicament from the determining unit, the determined dose in a dose delivering unit; and delivering, by the dose delivering unit, the determined dose to treat the user. - View Dependent Claims (20)
