Abstract

An apparatus comprising a controller. The controller includes an input/output (I/O) module and a rule module. The I/O module is configured to present a question for a patient when communicatively coupled to a user interface and receive patient information in response to the question via the user interface. The rule module is configured to apply a rule to the patient information and generate a suggested insulin pump setting from application of the rule. Other devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

presenting a question to a patient via a user interface of an infusion pump;

receiving information about the patient from a response to the question;

applying a rule to the patient information; and

generating a suggested pump setting according to the rule.
