Abstract

Methods and devices for statistical determination of medication dosage level such as bolus amount based on contextual information are provided.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving one or more parameters associated with a physiological condition;

querying a database based on the one or more parameters associated with the physiological condition;

generating a medication level information based on the database query; and

outputting the medication level information.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the database includes a plurality of medication level information and one or more associated parameters for each of the plurality of the medication level information.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein one or more of the plurality of the medication level information stored in the database includes administered medication dosage information.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the administered medication dosage information includes one or more of a past correction bolus amount, a past carbohydrate bolus amount, a past basal profile, or one or more combinations thereof.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein querying the database includes performing statistical analysis based on the received one or more parameters.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the statistical analysis includes one or more of mean deviation analysis, standard deviation analysis, estimation analysis, forecasting analysis, correlation of the one or more parameters, modeling of one or more relationships among the one or more parameters, regression analysis, time series analysis, autoregressive modeling, integrated modeling, moving average modeling, data mining, or probability analysis.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the generated medication level information includes one or more of a bolus amount or a basal profile modification for administration to a user.

8. The method of claim 1 including receiving a command associated the outputted mediation level information.

9. The method of claim 1 including executing a therapy related operation based on the outputted medication level information.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the therapy related operation includes generating a command to infuse medication based on the outputted medication level information.

11. The method of claim 1 including:

receiving a command confirming administration of a medication amount associated with the outputted medication level information; and

storing the outputted medication level information.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein the medication level information is associated with insulin.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more parameters includes one or more of a current glucose level, an insulin sensitivity, a target glucose level, past glucose level, glucose trend information, an amount of carbohydrate to be ingested, insulin on board information, exercise information, time of day information, or one or more combinations thereof.

14. An apparatus, comprising:

one or more processing units; and

a memory for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing units, causes the one or more processing units to receive one or more parameters associated with a physiological condition, query the memory based on the one or more parameters associated with the physiological condition, generate a medication level information based on the database query, and output the medication level information.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the memory includes a plurality of medication level information and one or more associated parameters for each of the plurality of the medication level information.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein one or more of the plurality of the medication level information stored in the memory includes administered medication dosage information.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 wherein the administered medication dosage information includes one or more of a past correction bolus amount, a past carbohydrate bolus amount, a past basal profile, or one or more combinations thereof.

18. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the memory for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing units, causes the one or more processing units to perform statistical analysis based on the received one or more parameters.

19. The apparatus of claim 18 wherein the statistical analysis includes one or more of mean deviation analysis, standard deviation analysis, estimation analysis, forecasting analysis, correlation of the one or more parameters, modeling of one or more relationships among the one or more parameters, regression analysis, time series analysis, autoregressive modeling, integrated modeling, moving average modeling, data mining, or probability analysis.

20. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the generated medication level information includes one or more of a bolus amount or a basal profile modification for administration to a user.

21. The apparatus of claim 14 including receiving a command associated the outputted mediation level information.

22. The apparatus of claim 21 wherein the memory for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing units, causes the one or more processing units to generate a command to infuse medication based on the outputted medication level information.

23. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the memory for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing units, causes the one or more processing units to receive a command confirming administration of a medication amount associated with the outputted medication level information, and to store the outputted medication level information.

24. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the medication level information is associated with insulin.

25. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the one or more parameters includes one or more of a current glucose level, an insulin sensitivity, a target glucose level, past glucose level, glucose trend information, an amount of carbohydrate to be ingested, insulin on board information, exercise information, time of day information, or one or more combinations thereof.

26. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the one or more processing units, and the memory are operatively coupled to a medical device.

27. The apparatus of claim 26 wherein the medical device includes a blood glucose meter, an analyte monitoring device, an infusion device, or one or more combinations thereof.

28. The apparatus of claim 27 wherein at least two of the blood glucose meter, the analyte monitoring device or the infusion device are integrated in a single housing.

30. The apparatus of claim 14 wherein the memory for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing units, causes the one or more processing units to execute a therapy related operation based on the outputted medication level information.

29. A computer program product for enabling one or more processors to perform a database query, comprising:

a computer readable medium; and

software instructions on the computer readable medium, for enabling the one or more processors to perform predetermined operations comprising;

receiving one or more parameters associated with a physiological condition;

querying a database based on the one or more parameters associated with the physiological condition;

generating a medication level information based on the database query; and

outputting the medication level information.
