Infusion systems and methods for pattern-based therapy adjustments
First Claim
1. A method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering fluid to a patient, the fluid influencing a physiological condition of the patient, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a control system associated with the infusion device, current measurement values indicative of a condition of the patient provided by a sensing device;
identifying an occurrence of an event pattern based at least in part on the current measurement values for the condition and a correlation between historical event data and historical measurement data associated with the patient;
in response to identifying the occurrence of the event pattern, generating, by the control system, a notification indicative of the event pattern; and
in response to receiving user input confirming the occurrence of the event pattern, adjusting, by the control system, operation of the infusion device to deliver the fluid to the patient in a manner that is influenced by the event pattern.

Abstract
Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering fluid to a patient involves obtaining, by a control system associated with the infusion device, measurement values indicative of a condition of the patient provided by a sensing device, identifying an event pattern based at least in part on the measurement values for the condition and historical data associated with the patient, generating a notification indicative of the event pattern in response to identifying the event pattern, and adjusting operation of the infusion device to deliver the fluid to the patient in a manner that is influenced by the event pattern in response to receiving user input confirming the event pattern.

13. A method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering insulin to a patient, the method comprising:
-
obtaining, by a control system associated with the infusion device, current sensor glucose measurement values for the patient provided by a glucose sensing arrangement; identifying, by the control system, an occurrence of an event pattern indicative of an event based at least in part on the current sensor glucose measurement values and a correlation between historical sensor glucose measurement values associated with the patient and historical event data corresponding to previous instances of the event; determining a probable characteristic of the event based at least in part on the historical event data corresponding to the previous instances of the event; and after identifying the occurrence of the event pattern, operating the infusion device to deliver the insulin to the patient in a manner that is influenced by the probable characteristic of the event. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An infusion system comprising:
-
an actuation arrangement operable to deliver fluid to a patient, the fluid influencing a physiological condition of the patient; a sensing arrangement to provide measurement values indicative of a current condition of the patient; a data storage element to maintain historical measurement data corresponding to previous instances of an event associated with the patient; and a control system coupled to the actuation arrangement, the sensing arrangement, and the data storage element to identify an occurrence of an event pattern indicative of the event based at least in part on a correlation between the measurement values indicative of the current condition of the patient and the historical measurement data corresponding to previous instances of the event and thereafter adjust operation of the actuation arrangement to modify delivery of the fluid to the patient in a manner that is influenced by the historical measurement data corresponding to previous instances of the event.
