Subcutaneous outpatient management
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at data processing hardware, subcutaneous information for a patient;
executing, at the data processing hardware, a subcutaneous outpatient program for determining recommended insulin dosages, the subcutaneous outpatient program comprising;
receiving, at the data processing hardware, sequential scheduled blood glucose time intervals throughout a day from a healthcare provider computing device in communication with the data processing hardware, each scheduled blood glucose time interval associated with a corresponding adjustable time boundary that does not overlap with other time boundaries associated with the other scheduled blood glucose time intervals;
obtaining, at the data processing hardware, blood glucose data of the patient from a glucometer in communication with the computing device, the blood glucose data including blood glucose measurements of the patient, blood glucose times associated with the blood glucose measurements, and insulin dosages administered by the patient and associated with the blood glucose measurements;
for each scheduled blood glucose time interval, aggregating, by the data processing hardware, the blood glucose measurements associated with the corresponding scheduled blood glucose time interval based on the blood glucose times to determine a corresponding representative aggregate blood glucose measurement associated with the corresponding scheduled blood glucose time interval;
determining, by the data processing hardware, a next recommended meal bolus for the patient during a selected time interval based on the representative aggregate blood glucose measurement associated with the scheduled blood glucose time interval that occurs immediately after the selected time interval and the subcutaneous information; and
transmitting the next recommended meal bolus to an administration device in communication with the data processing hardware, the administration device comprising;
a doser; and
an administration computing device in communication with the doser, the administration computing device configured to automatically dial in a number of units of insulin for the next recommended meal bolus and cause the doser to administer the number of units of insulin for the next recommended meal bolus.

Abstract
A method of administering insulin includes receiving subcutaneous information for a patient at a computing device and executing a subcutaneous outpatient program for determining recommended insulin dosages. The subcutaneous outpatient program includes obtaining blood glucose data of the patient from a glucometer in communication with the computing device, aggregating blood glucose measurements to determine a representative aggregate blood glucose measurement associated with at least one scheduled blood glucose time interval, and determining a next recommended insulin dosage for the patient based on the representative aggregate blood glucose measurement and the subcutaneous information. The method also includes transmitting the next recommended insulin dosage to a portable device associated with the patient. The portable device displays the next recommended insulin dosage.

16. A dosing controller comprising:
-
data processing hardware; and memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, the memory hardware storing instructions for a subcutaneous outpatient program that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising; receiving subcutaneous information for a patient; receiving sequential scheduled blood glucose time intervals throughout a day from a healthcare provider computing device in communication with the data processing hardware, each scheduled blood glucose time interval associated with a corresponding adjustable time boundary that does not overlap with other time boundaries associated with the other scheduled blood glucose time intervals; obtaining blood glucose data of the patient from a glucometer in communication with the data processing hardware, the blood glucose data including blood glucose measurements of the patient, blood glucose times associated with the blood glucose measurements, and insulin dosages administered by the patient and associated with the blood glucose measurements; for each scheduled blood glucose time interval, aggregating the blood glucose measurements associated with the corresponding scheduled blood glucose time interval based on the blood glucose times to determine a corresponding representative aggregate blood glucose measurement associated with the corresponding scheduled blood glucose time interval; determining a next recommended meal bolus for the patient during a selected time interval based on the representative aggregate blood glucose measurement associated with the scheduled blood glucose time interval that occurs immediately after the selected time interval and the subcutaneous information; and transmitting the next recommended meal bolus to an administration device in communication with the data processing hardware, the administration device comprising; a doser; and an administration computing device in communication with the doser, the administration computing device configured to automatically dial in a number of units of insulin for the next recommended meal bolus and cause the doser to administer the number of units of insulin for the next recommended meal bolus. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
