Description

[Background technology]

[0001] (CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Publication No. 2020 / 63127218, filed December 18, 2020, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Publication No. 2021 / 63228415, filed August 2, 2021, the entireties of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] Traditionally, diabetics administer insulin boluses manually by injection. The patient must determine the time when the insulin bolus is needed to correct the rise in glucose levels resulting from the meal ingested, and must also determine the amount of insulin bolus administered. Unfortunately, many diabetics have poor decisions about when to administer the insulin bolus, and similarly, many diabetics have poor decisions about the amount of insulin bolus administered. Some diabetics experience hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia as a result. It is not uncommon for diabetics to experience suboptimal results due to inaccuracies in bolus timing and administration.

[0003] Some automatic insulin delivery devices add a bolus calculator to help the user better calculate the insulin bolus dose. Some automatic insulin delivery devices also have knowledge of the carbohydrate content of common foods. Using this knowledge, the user can more accurately predict the carbohydrate content of a meal and therefore more accurately calculate the insulin bolus dose to properly correct the glucose rise caused by the intake of the meal. Some insulin delivery devices also have the ability to immediately deliver an insulin bolus to the patient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] According to one aspect of the invention, a method is performed by a processor of a computing device having a display. The method includes displaying a user interface on the display for requesting information from a user regarding a desired time for scheduling a drug bolus delivery from a drug delivery device. According to the method, based on the information received via the user interface, a drug bolus delivery from the drug delivery device to the user is scheduled with the processor for a future time. The processor causes the drug delivery device to perform the drug bolus delivery at the scheduled future time.

[0005] The user interface may ask the user for a desired time and a desired date for scheduling a drug bolus delivery. The user interface may ask the user for a dosage of the drug bolus delivery. The drug may be insulin, glucagon, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, pramlintide, or a co-formulation of two or more thereof. The drug may be one of an analgesic, an antibiotic, an antiviral, an antidepressant, an anti-addiction drug, an anti-anxiety drug, a pain reliever, an antipsychotic, an anti-epileptic drug, an anticoagulant, a chemotherapy drug, a hormonal drug, an infertility drug, a statin, a blood pressure control drug, an antacid, a contraceptive, a fertility drug, an anti-inflammatory drug, a cardiovascular drug, a muscle relaxant, a sleep disorder drug, or a sexual disorder drug. The computing device may be one of a smartphone, a smartwatch, a vehicle infotainment system, or a portion of a drug delivery device. The method may include displaying a reminder of the scheduled drug bolus delivery on a display before the delivery occurs. The method may include receiving a confirmation from a user to effect the scheduled drug bolus delivery. Having the drug delivery device effect the drug bolus delivery at the scheduled future time may include sending a command or message to the drug delivery device for the drug bolus delivery. Having the drug delivery device effect the drug bolus delivery at the scheduled time may include automatically delivering the drug bolus at the scheduled date and time without user intervention or confirmation.

[0006] According to another aspect of the invention, a method may be implemented by a processor of a computing device having a display, where a drug bolus delivery to a user by a drug delivery device is scheduled with the processor for a future time, the processor displays a user interface element on the display, the user interface element being operable to delay the scheduled drug bolus delivery, and based on input received via the user interface element, the processor causes the drug bolus delivery to be delayed to a delayed time after the scheduled time.

[0007] The method may include displaying an additional user interface on the display to facilitate a user selection of an amount of delay for drug bolus delivery relative to the scheduled time. The additional user interface may include selection elements, each associated with a different amount of delay for drug bolus delivery. The processor may cause the drug delivery device to deliver the drug bolus to the user at the delay time. Caused the drug delivery device to deliver the drug bolus to the user at the delay time may include sending a command or message from the computing device to the drug delivery device. The command or message may be sent wirelessly.

[0008] According to an additional aspect of the invention, a method is performed by a processor of a computing device having a display. The processor schedules a drug bolus delivery to a user by a drug delivery device at a future time. The processor displays a user interface on the display. The user interface includes at least one element that can be activated to modify the scheduled drug bolus delivery. The processor modifies the scheduled drug bolus delivery by the drug delivery device based on input received via the at least one element of the user interface.

[0009] The modifying may include modifying a date and / or time at which the drug delivery device is scheduled to deliver the drug bolus. The modifying may include modifying a dosage of the scheduled drug bolus delivery. The modifying may include canceling the scheduled drug bolus delivery. The method may further include displaying on a display a reminder of the scheduled drug bolus delivery by the drug delivery device to the user at a future time, wherein the user interface is incorporated within the reminder. The method may include displaying on a display a confirmation of modifying the scheduled drug bolus delivery prior to performing the modifying. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] One problem faced by conventional automatic insulin delivery devices is that they can only deliver an insulin bolus immediately. This can be problematic because users sometimes cannot have those conventional insulin delivery devices deliver an insulin bolus when needed. For example, a user may be driving, at a restaurant, in a meeting, or in other situations where they are unable or unwilling to interact with the insulin delivery device for insulin bolus delivery.

[0012] Another problem is that users may forget to administer an insulin bolus before a meal, which can cause glucose levels to spike and reach levels that are too high, resulting in hyperglycemia.

[0013] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention may solve these problems by allowing a user to schedule a drug bolus delivery, such as an insulin bolus, for a future date and time. Thus, a user can schedule an insulin bolus delivery to occur, for example, when the user is driving, when the user is at a restaurant, or when the user is attending a meeting. Additionally, a user can schedule a drug bolus delivery in advance. For example, assume that a user eats a similar meal every day at 7:00 a.m. The user may schedule an insulin bolus delivery for 6:45 a.m. every day.

[0014] The above exemplary embodiment may include the ability to delay a scheduled drug bolus delivery for a short period of time. For example, assume that a user plans to eat at 6:15 PM instead of 6 PM. In that case, it may be desired to delay the scheduled insulin bolus delivery by 15 minutes from 5:45 PM to 6 PM. The user may modify the scheduled drug bolus delivery by entering a new date and / or time for the drug bolus delivery. Additionally, the user may cancel the scheduled drug bolus delivery. Additionally, the exemplary embodiment allows for viewing and management of multiple drug bolus deliveries.

[0015] FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a drug delivery system 100 suitable for delivery of a drug, such as insulin, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, or other drugs identified above. The drug delivery system 100 includes a drug delivery device 102. The drug delivery device 102 may be a wearable device that is worn on the body of a user 108.

The user interface 117 may include a touch screen and / or one or more input devices, such as, for example, buttons, knobs, or keyboards.

[0019] The drug delivery device 102 may interface with a network 122. The network 122 may include a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), or a combination thereof. A computing device 126 may interface with the network, whereby the computing device 126 may communicate with the drug delivery device 102.

[0020] The drug delivery system 100 may include sensor(s) 106 for sensing the level of one or more analytes. The sensor(s) 106 may be coupled to the user 108, for example, by adhesive or the like, where the sensor(s) 106 may provide information or data regarding one or more medical conditions and / or physical characteristics of the user 108. The sensor(s) 106 may, in some exemplary embodiments, perform periodic glucose concentration measurements, where the sensor(s) 106 may be a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) or other type of device or sensor that performs glucose measurements, such as measuring glucose concentration in interstitial fluid that can accurately estimate blood glucose levels. The sensor(s) 106 may be physically separate from the drug delivery device 102 or may be an integrated component of the drug delivery device 102. The sensor(s) 106 may provide the processor 110 with data indicative of one or more measured or detected levels of analytes of the user 108. The information or data provided by the sensor(s) 106 may be used to adjust the drug delivery operations of the drug delivery device 102 .

[0021] The drug delivery system 100 may also include a handheld management device 104. In some embodiments, the handheld management device 104 is not required and the drug delivery device 102 may manage itself. The handheld management device 104 may be a special purpose device, such as a dedicated personal diabetes manager (PDM) device. The handheld controller device 104 may be a programmed general purpose device, such as any portable electronic device, including devices with a processor, microcontroller, or similar dedicated controller. The handheld management device 104 may be used to program or adjust the operation of the drug delivery device 102 and / or the sensor 106. The handheld management device 104 may also be used to view data and other information related to drug delivery and analyte levels. The handheld management device 104 may be any portable electronic device, including, for example, a dedicated device, a smartphone, a smartwatch, or a tablet. In the illustrated example, the handheld management device 104 may include a processor 119 and a storage 118. The processor 119 may execute processes for managing and controlling delivery of medication to the user 108. The processor 119 may be operable to execute programming code stored in the storage 118. For example, the storage 118 may be operable to store a control application 120 for execution by the processor 119. The control application 120 may be responsible for controlling the medication delivery device 102, for example, an automatic insulin administration control system (AID) that delivers insulin to the user 108. The storage 118 may also store the control application 120, a history 121 for the medication delivery device 102 as described above, as well as other data and / or programs.

[0022] The handheld management device 104 may include a user interface (UI) 123 for communicating with the user 108. The user interface 123 may include a display, such as a touch screen, for displaying information. When the user interface 123 is a touch screen, the touch screen may also be used to receive input. The user interface 123 may also include input elements, such as a keyboard, buttons, knobs, or the like.

[0023] The handheld management device 104 may also interface with a network 124, such as a LAN, a WAN, or a combination of such networks. The handheld management device 104 may communicate with one or more servers or cloud services 128 via the network 124.

[0024] The drug delivery system 100 may include a smartwatch 130 worn by a user 108. The smartwatch 130 includes a processor 140, such as a microprocessor, for executing computer programming instructions, such as applications 148 for implementing the functionality described herein. The smartwatch 130 also includes a display 142 for displaying content. The display 142 may be a touch screen as well as for receiving input. The smartwatch 130 may include audio output / input 144, such as a speaker and microphone. The smartwatch 130 may include on-board storage, as described above for the handheld controller 104, for holding data and software, such as applications 148.

[0025] The smartwatch 130 may have a wireless communication connection with the handheld controller device 104. The smartwatch 130 can issue commands to and obtain information from the drug delivery device 102 by sending wireless communication to the handheld management device 104 via the connection. In some embodiments, the smartwatch 130 may have a direct communication link with the drug delivery device 102 to obtain information and issue commands, as shown in FIG. 1. In other embodiments, the smartwatch 130 may send commands to the handheld controller device 104, which in turn issues commands to the drug delivery device 102. In a similar manner, the smartwatch 130 may request information. This request may be received by the handheld management device 104 and then forwarded to the drug delivery device 102. The drug delivery device 102 provides the requested information to the handheld management device 104, which returns the requested information to the smartwatch 130. The functional capabilities of the smartwatch 130 associated with the drug delivery system 100 are described in more detail below. The applications 148 facilitate communication with the handheld controller device 104 and provide the functionality of the smartwatch 130, which are also described in more detail below.

[0026] A vehicle infotainment system 150 may be part of the drug delivery system 100.

The applications 158 facilitate the functionality described herein. In some embodiments, the handheld management device 104 includes applications and the vehicle infotainment system 150 can communicate with the handheld management device 104 to implement the functionality described herein.

[0027] The vehicle infotainment system 150 can issue commands to and obtain information from the drug delivery device 102 by sending wireless communication to the handheld controller device 104 via the above connection. Technologies such as Apple CarPlay® or Android® Auto may be used to integrate the handheld management device 104 and the vehicle infotainment system 150. The vehicle infotainment system 150 sends instructions to the handheld management device 104, which then issues instructions to the drug delivery device 102. In a similar manner, the vehicle infotainment system 150 may make a request for information. The request is received by the handheld management device 104 and then forwarded to the drug delivery device 102. The drug delivery device 102 provides the requested information to the handheld management device 104, which returns the requested information to the vehicle infotainment system 150. The functional capabilities of the vehicle infotainment system 150 associated with the drug delivery system 100 are described in more detail below. Applications 158 facilitate communication with the handheld management device 104 and provide the functionality of the vehicle infotainment system 150, which are also described in more detail below. In some alternative embodiments, the vehicle infotainment system 150 may have a direct wireless connection with the drug delivery device 102, as shown by the connecting lines in FIG. 1.

[0028] As mentioned above, the drug delivery system 100 may include a smartwatch 130, such as an Apple Watch, a Fitbit Versa smartwatch, a Samsung Galaxy Watch, etc. The smartwatch 130 includes a processor 14 0 Applications 148 may be executed on the device to provide the functionality described herein.

[0029] The following discussion includes examples of user interfaces on different devices and functionality that may be provided by the exemplary embodiments in scheduling drug bolus delivery. The user interfaces are intended to be merely exemplary. Other user interfaces may be used. Such user interfaces and functionality described below may be implemented using the control applications 116, 120, 148 and 150. 8 The present invention may be implemented as an implementation part of the above.

[0030] The smartwatch 130 is equipped with the ability to calculate the size of an insulin bolus and deliver a specified size insulin bolus to the user 108. The user 108 can initiate the bolus calculation and insulin bolus delivery process by selecting an option to deliver an insulin bolus. FIG. 2 shows a sequence of screens that may be displayed on the display 202 of the smartwatch 200 to facilitate insulin bolus calculation and insulin bolus delivery to the user 108. First, the user 108 may be prompted to enter a glucose value. The user 108 may enter a value in a text box 206 or may scroll through the displayed value options 208 using the rotary knob 204 and select, for example, a value 210 from among the displayed value options 208. The glucose value may also be automatically pre-populated by a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) or other sensor 106 coupled to the insulin controller system. This value may be automatically pre-populated when the UI on the display 202 is presented to the user or when the user taps on box 206, which allows the smartwatch 130 to request the current glucose value from the CGM or other sensor 106. The entered glucose value may be a glucose concentration value expressed in mg / dL or mmol / L. The user 108 is then prompted to enter a carbohydrate amount, as shown in FIG. 2. The user 108 may manually enter the number of grams of carbohydrates in a text box 212 or may scroll through the options 208 and select a value, such as the highlighted value 214. In the next screen of FIG. 2, the display 202 of the smartwatch 200 shows the entered or retrieved glucose concentration value 218, which represents the most recent value of the user 108, and the amount of carbohydrates consumed in the meal 220, entered by the user 108. Also displayed is a correction factor 222.The correction factor 222 is a number / calculation to correct the user's blood glucose level when it is out of range, either high or low. This is managed by the user settings in the control software. The correction factor 222 indicates the amount of insulin required to correct 1 gram of carbohydrates ingested, which can be converted to the amount of insulin required to bring the user's current blood glucose level within the desired range or to the desired target blood glucose level. A correction bolus may be pre-populated when the user's blood glucose level is out of range and a bolus should be considered for delivery. This may be a correction for a high blood glucose level by increasing the total bolus amount, or a back correction for a low blood glucose level that will reduce the overall bolus amount. The application 148 then performs a calculation using the provided information and the correction factor, and displays (see 224) the appropriate correction bolus amount to correct the displayed number of carbohydrates, taking into account the current glucose concentration. In the example, 2.5 units of insulin are required to correct for 25 g of carbohydrate (i.e., 25 g x 0.1 units / g). The user 108 may be prompted to confirm the bolus prescription by a physical action, such as a right swipe or tap, or a verbal action, such as a verbal bolus confirmation. In the next screen of FIG. 2, the user 108 is prompted to select either a regular bolus by selecting element 226 or an extended bolus by selecting element 228. In this example, the user 108 makes the selection by swiping right on element 226 or 228. A tap or verbal action may also be used. In the example of FIG. 2, the user 108 selects an extended bolus, as indicated by text 230 on the display 202. The user 108 enters a percentage value to specify how the extended bolus is delivered over time. In text box 232, the user 108 enters the percentage of the bolus that should now be delivered (eg, 60 percent).In text box 234, the user 108 enters the percentage of the bolus to be delivered extended (e.g., 25 percent). In text box 236, the user 108 enters the time span for delivery of the extended portion (e.g., 2 hours). Text boxes 232, 234, and 236 may be pre-populated with default values, with the user having the option to modify or confirm these default values. The smartwatch 130 may also prompt the user to consider the amount of insulin to be delivered rather than using the extended bolus percentage value. Once the user 108 has entered the appropriate value, they may confirm the extended bolus delivery by selecting element 238, such as by swiping right. Tapping or dictation actions may also be used.

[0031] FIG. 3 shows the sequence of screens after the user 108 selects extended bolus delivery. Screen 304 shows the percentage of bolus delivered now 306, the percentage of bolus delivered extended 308, and the time span of extended delivery 310. Initially, the user 108 selects extended bolus as shown in screen 304 on the display 302 of the smartwatch 300. The user 108, selecting the confirm button 311, is prompted to confirm the delivery of the number of units 314 indicated by screen 312 by selecting the "Yes" button 318 or to reject the delivery by selecting the "No" button. If the user accepts the delivery of 2.5 units, the user may enter a confirmation code to begin the delivery via screen 322. The confirmation code may be registered with the user during the user's onboarding. The confirmation code may be the same code the user is using to unlock the smartwatch 300 or other device. Alternatively, biometric authentication may also be used. For example, a camera on the smartwatch 300 can authenticate the user's face or eyes, thereby verifying that the user is indeed the person entering the command to confirm the delivery of a specific amount of insulin. The smartwatch 300 then displays a screen 324 on the display 302, reminding the user 108 that he / she will be notified when the user may or should consume a meal or when a meal is scheduled for optimizing bolus delivery and pre- and post-prandial blood glucose control. This time parameter can be set by the user 108 in the insulin controller system application, whether the application is a controller or a smartphone application. Alternatively, the time parameter can be a default value that can be modified by the user. The purpose of the meal time reminder is to improve the user's blood glucose variability by administering insulin before meals to avoid deviation from the target blood glucose range.In the example shown, the user 108 is reminded to eat in 15 minutes. The smartwatch 300 can vibrate a certain number of times depending on the time that has passed. For example, the smartwatch may vibrate once when the reminder is set. After 5 minutes, in this example, when the time is 10 minutes, the smartwatch may vibrate twice. After 10 minutes, in this example, when the time is 5 minutes, the smartwatch may vibrate three times. After 15 minutes, in this example, when the time is 0 minutes, the smartwatch may vibrate four times. Other timings and numbers of vibrations may be used. After 15 minutes, the smartwatch 300 displays a screen 326 on the display 302 to remind the user 108 that it is time to eat a meal. In addition to letting the user know that enough time has passed to consume carbohydrates, this helps the user 108 avoid problems that arise when the user delivers an insulin bolus but does not consume the carbohydrates that were the purpose of the pre-meal insulin bolus.

[0032] The smartwatch 130 may also allow the user to determine the insulin bolus dose by simply selecting the size of the meal to be consumed, rather than specifying the amount of carbohydrates to be consumed in grams. The application 148 may have meal size categories, such as a regular meal and a large meal. A regular meal is assumed to contain a first amount of carbohydrates, while a large meal is assumed to contain a second amount of carbohydrates that is greater than the first amount. A "small meal" or "snack" may also be presented as an option, which may correspond to a smaller amount of carbohydrates than the regular meal option. These carbohydrate amounts may be system default amounts or may be defined by either the user 108 or a healthcare provider by programming such amounts into the insulin controller system. Custom meal names (and carbohydrate amounts) may also be set by the user into the insulin controller system. As shown in FIG. 4, the smartwatch 400 may display a regular meal option 404 and a large meal option 406 on the display 402 for selection by the user 108. The user 108 may then be prompted to confirm which meal size the user 108 selected on the screen 408. The screen 408 may include a "Yes" button 410 to confirm the selected meal size or a "No" button 412 to not confirm the selected meal size. The screen 408 may also display the insulin amount corresponding to the selected meal type. The screen 408 may also allow the user to modify the insulin amount corresponding to the selected meal type. If the user 108 selects the "Yes" button 410 to confirm the meal size, the user 108 is prompted to enter a confirmation code using the screen 414 to initiate the insulin bolus delivery. The confirmation code can be the same code the user is using to unlock the smartwatch 400 or other device.
