Method and apparatus for providing medical treatment therapy based on calculated demand
First Claim
1. A medical treatment apparatus for providing medication to a patient, comprising:
- a medical device having a control algorithm coupled thereto, a sensor for coupling to a patient to receive information from the patient concerning the physiological condition of the patient, the information being transferred from the sensor to the control algorithm, and another sensor that receives environmental information from an environment of the patient, the environmental information being transferred to the control algorithm, wherein the control algorithm is adapted to process the information from at least one of the sensor coupled to the patient and the sensor that receives the environmental information to control the delivery of the medication to the patient.

Abstract
A medical treatment administration system for delivering a medical treatment to a patient. The system has a medical device, an electronic processor coupled to the medical device, and a sensor coupled to the processor. The sensor receives one or more signals which it transfers to the processor. The signals can be derived from the patient'"'"'s physiological condition and/or the environment of the patient. The processor receives the signals and performs a calculation of the signal. Based on the result of the calculation, the processor regulates the distribution of medical treatment to the patient over a period of time.
