Process and Device for Determining Recommendations for Active Ingredient Dosages on the Basis of Series of Measurements of at Least One Physiological Parameter of a Patient
First Claim
1. A process for carrying out a series of measurements of at least one physiological parameter, including a blood sugar value, on samples taken from a patient at discrete measuring times and for calculating a recommendation for a dosage of at least one active ingredient to be administered to the patient until the next measuring time on the basis of a dosage proposal algorithm incorporating the at least one measured physiological parameter, whereby at least one physiological parameter of the patient is adjusted to a target range, the next measuring time being determined by considering measurement exclusion time windows.

Abstract
A process comprises performing a series of measurements of at least one physiological parameter, in particular a blood value, such as, e.g., blood sugar, on a patient, wherein samples are taken from the patient at discrete measuring times, with the measurements being performed on those samples. A recommendation for a dosage of an active ingredient to be administered to the patient until the next measuring time is determined from the measurements, for which purpose a dosage proposal algorithm incorporating the at least one measured physiological parameter is applied. As a result, it is possible to adjust at least one physiological parameter of the patient to a target range or keep it in the target range, respectively. The dosage proposal algorithm is configured such that the next measuring time is determined in consideration of measurement exclusion time windows and is optionally reported to the person in charge.
