Patent Images
1. A semi-automated medication management system, comprising:
- an analyte measurement system, adapted to measure the level of an analyte in a patient'"'"'s blood, or an indicator thereof;
an infusion recommendation system, adapted to recommend medication infusion parameters based on information comprising the measured blood analyte level;
an infusion control system, adapted to infuse a medication into the patient, andan authorization system adapted to allow a clinician to authorize an infusion of the medication into the patent by the infusion control system based on a recommendation to the of infusion parameters by the infusion recommendation system.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods and apparatuses of medication management based upon active authorization of medication infusion by a clinician that can provide for effective management of an analyte in a patient'"'"'s blood, reducing the opportunities for human error common with current manual systems while still placing final control of the medication management with the human clinician. For example, a semi-automated glucose management system can measure the glucose level in a patient'"'"'s blood, recommend infusion parameters to a clinician who can authorize an infusion of glucose or insulin, and infuse the glucose or insulin into the patient.
