Fault discrimination and responsive processing based on data and context
First Claim
1. A method for discriminating a fault type in a continuous in vivo analyte monitoring system, comprising:
- receiving a signal from an analyte monitor;
receiving clinical context data;
evaluating the clinical context data against clinical context criteria to determine clinical context information;
discriminating the fault type based on only the received signal; and
performing responsive processing based on the discriminated fault type and the determined clinical context information, wherein the responsive processing includes controlling a medicament delivery device, the controlling including adjusting a basal value or, where medicament is being delivered, suspending medicament delivery.

Abstract
Systems and methods disclosed here provide ways to discriminate fault types encountered in analyte sensors and systems and further provide ways to process such discriminated faults responsively based on sensor data, clinical context information, and other data about the patient or patient'"'"'s environment. The systems and methods thus employ clinical context in detecting and/or responding to errors or faults associated with an analyte sensor system, and discriminating the type of fault, and its root cause, particularly as fault dynamics can appear similar to the dynamics of physiological systems, emphasizing the importance of discriminating the fault and providing appropriate responsive processing. Thus, the disclosed systems and methods consider the context of the patient'"'"'s health condition or state in determining how to respond to the fault.
