Abstract

This document discusses, among other things, an apparatus comprising a pump configured to deliver insulin, a processor, and a user interface including a bistable display. A display element of the bistable display is placed in one of two stable orientations upon application of a biasing voltage and stays in the stable orientation when the biasing voltage is removed. The processor includes a display module configured to display a non-blank reversion display screen on the bistable display when no input is received at the user interface after a specified time duration, and to recurrently change the reversion display screen until input is received at the user interface.

Claims

1. A medical infusion pump having a user interface configured to assist a user in operation of the medical infusion pump by automatically customizing display menus according to which functions are used most often, thereby improving operability of the pump for users suffering from a medical condition, the medical infusion pump comprising:

a pump configured to deliver medicament to the user; and

a user interface including a processor and a display, the user interface configured to present a plurality of display menus, each display menu having at least one menu item presented on the display, wherein a selection of a menu item by the user causes the processor to perform an action associated with the selected menu item, and wherein the processor tracks the selection of menu items and arranges at least one of the plurality of display menus and/or the menu items into a presentation order according to a frequency with which the menu items are selected, wherein arranging at least one of the plurality of display menus and/or menu items into the presentation order according to a frequency with which the menu items are selected includes moving menu items selected most often closer to a beginning of the presentation order, and

further wherein after a user frequently selects a menu item not on a home menu, an icon relating to the menu item is added to the home menu for display on the home menu.

2. The medical infusion pump of claim 1, wherein if a user frequently selects a menu item on a therapy delivery display menu, the processor automatically moves the therapy delivery display menu higher in a hierarchy of the plurality of display menus.

3. The medical infusion pump of claim 1, wherein the processor includes menu items in a home menu for display on the user interface according to user preference information, wherein the menu items included in the home menu are a subset of all menu items on all of the plurality of display menus.

4. The medical infusion pump of claim 3, wherein the home menu includes an icon to indicate an amount of medicament remaining in the medical infusion pump.

5. The medical infusion pump of claim 3, wherein the home menu includes an icon to indicate a remaining battery life of the medical infusion pump.

6. The medical infusion pump of claim 3, wherein the processor reverts to display the home menu on the user interface when no menu items on a display menu are selected within a user-defined reversion time period.

7. The medical infusion pump of claim 1, wherein if the menu items relates to how much medicament is remaining in the medical infusion pump, an icon representing the medicament remaining in the medical infusion pump is added to the home menu for display on the user interface.

8. A medical infusion pump having a user interface configured to assist a user in operation of the medical infusion pump by automatically customizing display menus according to which functions are used most often, thereby improving operability of the pump for users suffering from a medical condition, the medical infusion pump comprising:

a pump configured to deliver medicament to the user; and

a user interface including a processor and a display, the user interface configured to present a plurality of display menus, each display menu having a plurality of menu items presented on the display, wherein a selection of a menu item by the user causes the processor to perform an action associated with the selected menu item, and wherein the processor tracks the selection of menu items and arranges the menu items within a display menu into a presentation order according to a frequency with which the menu items are selected, wherein arranging the menu items into the presentation order according to a frequency with which the menu items are selected includes moving menu items selected most often closer to a beginning of the presentation order, and

further wherein after a user frequently selects a menu item not on a home menu, an icon relating to the menu item is added to the home menu for display on the home menu.

9. The medical infusion pump of claim 8, wherein the plurality of display menus include a home screen.

10. The medical infusion pump of claim 9, wherein the menu items included in the home screen are a subset of all menu items on all of the plurality of display menus, and wherein the processor arranges the menu items within the home screen into a presentation order according to a frequency with which the menu items are selected.

11. The medical infusion pump of claim 9, wherein the home screen includes an icon to indicate an amount of medicament remaining in the medical infusion pump.

12. The medical infusion pump of claim 9, wherein the home screen includes an icon to indicate a remaining battery life of the medical infusion pump.

13. The medical infusion pump of claim 9, wherein the processor reverts to display the home screen on the user interface when no menu items on a display menu are selected within a user-defined reversion time period.

14. The medical infusion pump of claim 8, wherein if a user frequently selects a menu item on a therapy delivery display menu, the processor automatically moves the therapy delivery display menu higher in a hierarchy of the plurality of display menus.

15. The medical infusion pump of claim 8, wherein if the menu items relates to how much medicament is remaining in the medical infusion pump, an icon representing the medicament remaining in the medical infusion pump is added to the home menu for display on the user interface.
