Systems and methods for managing and delivering patient therapy through electronic drug delivery systems
First Claim
1. A method for managing and delivering patient therapy through electronic drug delivery systems, the method comprising:
- a first electronic drug delivery system that is connected to a patient receiving a patient identifier that corresponds to the patient;
the first electronic drug delivery system estimating underlying patient-specific control variables based on (i) a therapy provided for a patient and (ii) an observed patient-specific response to the therapy;
based on (i) the estimated underlying patient-specific control variables, (i) the observed patient-specific response to the therapy, and (iii) a therapy objective, the first electronic drug delivery system providing an updated therapy for the patient;
the first electronic drug delivery system transferring to a remote system a record of the updated therapy provided for the patient and the estimated underlying patient-specific control variables;
upon connecting a second electronic drug delivery system to the patient, the second electronic drug delivery system receiving the patient identifier; and
the second electronic drug delivery system communicating with the remote system to access the record of the updated therapy and the estimated underlying patient-specific control variables associated with the patient identifier.

Abstract
In example methods and systems described, a medical device can store information locally and in a separate database on a server, for example. If the device fails, or a patient is moved to a second device, information may be transferred to the second device such that the second device can resume a complex therapy at a point where the initial medical device left off. The data necessary to restart the complex therapy system may include certain underlying patient-specific parameters according to a model capturing the patient'"'"'s physiological response to the medication in question. As a result, it is not necessary for the second device to restart the complex therapy or regress to an initial set of baseline assumptions.

20. A computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to perform the functions of:
-
receiving from a first electronic drug delivery system a record of estimated underlying patient-specific control variables for a patient, the underlying patient-specific control variables being based on (i) a therapy provided for a patient and (ii) an observed patient-specific response to the therapy; receiving from the first electronic drug delivery system an updated therapy provided for the patient, the updated therapy being based on (i) the estimated underlying patient-specific control variables, (i) the observed patient-specific response to the therapy, and (iii) a therapy objective; and transferring to a second electronic drug delivery system a record of the updated therapy provided for the patient and the estimated underlying patient-specific control variables associated with the patient.
