SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING BASAL RATE PROFILES
First Claim
1. A method of generating a plurality of basal rate models that together model delivery of a corresponding plurality of basal rates of a diabetes treatment drug to a patient over a period of time, the method comprising:
- collecting information from a plurality of patients that have a diabetic condition and to which the diabetes treatment drug has been delivered, the collected information including a glycemic control indicator for each of the plurality of patients that is indicative of an efficacy of the diabetes treatment drug in treating the patient'"'"'s diabetic condition,filtering the collected information based on the glycemic control indicators to produce a subset of the collected information that includes information only for patients that exhibit acceptable glycemic control,generating the plurality of basal rate models based on the subset of the collected information, andstoring the generated plurality of basal rate models in a memory unit.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for generating a plurality of basal rate models that together model delivery of a corresponding plurality of basal rates of a diabetes treatment drug to a patient over a period of time. Information may be collected from a plurality of patients that have a diabetic condition and to which the diabetes treatment drug has been delivered. The collected information may include a glycemic control indicator for each of the plurality of patients that is indicative of an efficacy of the diabetes treatment drug in treating the patient'"'"'s diabetic condition. The collected information may be filtered based on the glycemic control indicators to produce a subset of information that includes information only for patients that exhibit acceptable glycemic control. The plurality of basal rate models may be generated based on the subset of the collected information, and may be stored in a memory unit.

6. A method of generating a plurality of basal rate models that together model delivery of a corresponding plurality of basal rates of a diabetes treatment drug to a patient over a period of time, the method comprising:
-
collecting information from a plurality of patients to which the diabetes treatment drug has been delivered, the collected patient information including a plurality of categorical patient parameters for each of the plurality of patients, each of the plurality of categorical patient parameters for each of the plurality of patients having one of two or more possible values or ranges, partitioning the collected information into a number of different patient information subgroups each identified by a different combination of the two or more possible values or ranges of at least two of the plurality of categorical patient parameters, generating the plurality of basal rate models based on the collected information in at least one of the number of different patient information subgroups, and storing the generated plurality of basal rate models in a memory unit. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of generating a plurality of basal rate models that together model a basal rate profile defining a corresponding plurality of basal rates of a diabetes treatment drug sequentially delivered to a patient over a period of time beginning with a first basal rate and ending with a last basal rate, the method comprising:
-
collecting information in the form of a plurality of patient records each for a different patient to which the diabetes treatment drug has been delivered, each of the plurality of patient records including a reference time within the period of time and a basal rate profile that are specific to the corresponding patient, aligning the basal rate profiles in the plurality of patient records as functions of the reference times such that in each of the plurality of patient records the first basal rate of the corresponding basal rate profile begins at the corresponding reference time, generating the plurality of basal rate models based on the patient records having aligned basal rate profiles, and storing the generated plurality of basal rate models in a memory unit. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of determining a set of basal rate models that define delivery of a diabetes treatment drug to a particular patient over a period of time, the method comprising:
-
collecting information from a plurality of patients to which the diabetes treatment drug has been delivered, generating a number of sets of basal rate models based on the information collected from the plurality of patients, collecting information that is specific to the particular patient, determining the set of basal rate models for the particular patient based on the number of sets of basal rate models and on the collected information that is specific to the particular patient, and storing the determined set of basal rate models for the particular patient in a memory unit. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method of generating a basal rate profile that defines delivery of a plurality of basal rates of a diabetes treatment drug to a particular patient over a period of time, the method comprising:
-
collecting information from a plurality of patients to which the diabetes treatment drug has been delivered, generating a plurality of basal rate model sets based on the information collected from the plurality of patients, each of the plurality of basal rate model sets modeling delivery of a different plurality of basal rates of the diabetes treatment drug to a patient over the period of time, collecting a first set of information that is specific to the particular patient, selecting one of the plurality of basal rate model sets based on the first set of information that is specific to the particular patient, collecting a second set of information that is specific to the particular patient, generating the basal rate profile based on the selected one of the plurality of basal rate model sets and on the second set of information that is specific to the particular patient, and storing the generated basal rate profile in a memory unit. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
