Therapy management development platform
First Claim
1. A method of providing therapy management development, the method comprising:
- providing a computerized therapy management development platform including at least (i) a pump controller including a first processor, and (ii) an interface module including (a) a second processor, (b) a pump controller module input/output interface, and (c) a module-sensor input/output interface, the interface module coupled to the pump controller via the pump controller module input/output interface;
performing one or both of;
(a) coupling a sensor-under-test to the module-sensor input/output interface, the sensor-under-test unapproved for therapeutic use; and
(b) programming the pump controller with an algorithm-under-test, the algorithm-under-test unapproved for therapeutic use;
setting the computerized therapy management development platform to a first level of access to facilitate a first stage of testing of the sensor-under-test and/or the algorithm-under-test, the first level of access providing first functionality;
testing one or more aspects of the sensor-under-test and/or the algorithm-under-test and receiving testing results; and
setting the computerized therapy management development platform to a second level of access, in response to an indication of approval to perform a second stage of testing, to facilitate the second stage of testing of the sensor-under-test and/or the algorithm-under-test, the second level of access providing second functionality different from, but possibly inclusive of, the first functionality.

Abstract
A therapy management development platform includes a pump controller coupled to an interface module. The interface module includes an interface module controller and a module-sensor input/output interface including at least one standardized input port, output port and power connection. The interface module is also customizably programmed to receive data from a sensor and to provide instructions to the pump controller to vary the operation of a pump coupled thereto according to one of a plurality of levels of functionality. Upon receipt of an indication of approval from a remote computer to change the level of access to the functionality of the platform, the interface module may be customizably programmed to receive different data from the sensor, to provide different instructions to the pump controller, or both, the approval corresponding to a stage in testing of a medical device.
