DECISIONS SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS WITH DIABETES
First Claim
1. A decision support system for a patient, the system comprising:
- a) a measurement device configured to continuously measure a physiological parameter of the patient;
b) an insulin delivery device configured to provide insulin to the patient according to an initial basal profile and the continuous measurements of the physiological parameter;
c) a storage device holding historical data of insulin delivery to the patient by the insulin delivery device; and
d) a processor coupled to the storage device, the processor being configured to;
i) determine deviations of the delivery of insulin from the basal profile for one or more time period(s) using the historical data;
ii) compute a respective first basal-profile adjustment for each of the one or more time period(s) using the determined deviations; and
iii) annunciate the computed first basal-profile adjustment(s).

Abstract
A decision support system includes a measurement device configured to continuously measure a physiological parameter of a patient. An insulin delivery device provides insulin to the patient per an initial basal profile and the parameter measurements. A storage device holds historical data of insulin delivery to the patient. A processor determines deviations of the delivery of insulin from the basal profile for one or more time period(s) using the historical data, computes a respective first basal-profile adjustment for each of the one or more time period(s) using the determined deviations, and annunciates the computed first basal-profile adjustment(s). A method of recommending a basal-rate adjustment includes measuring the parameter, infusing the patient with insulin and storing the historical data, determining the deviations from the basal profile, computing the first basal-profile adjustments, and annunciating the computed first basal-profile adjustment(s).

16. A method of recommending a basal-rate adjustment for an insulin-delivery system, the method comprising:
-
continuously measuring a physiological parameter of a patient; repeatedly infusing the patient with insulin according to an initial basal profile and the continuous physiological parameter measurements; storing historical data of the delivery of insulin; using a processor, automatically determining deviations of the delivery of insulin from the basal profile for one or more time period(s) using the stored historical data; using the processor, automatically computing a respective first basal-profile adjustment for each of the time period(s) using the determined deviations; and using the processor, automatically annunciating the computed first basal-profile adjustment(s). - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
