8861 results about "Endocrinology" patented technology

Endocrinology (from endocrine + -ology) is a branch of biology and medicine dealing with the endocrine system, its diseases, and its specific secretions known as hormones. It is also concerned with the integration of developmental events proliferation, growth, and differentiation, and the psychological or behavioral activities of metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sleep, digestion, respiration, excretion, mood, stress, lactation, movement, reproduction, and sensory perception caused by hormones. Specializations include behavioral endocrinology and comparative endocrinology.

System and method for initiating and maintaining continuous, long-term control of a concentration of a substance in a patient using a feedback or model-based controller coupled to a single-needle or multi-needle intradermal (ID) delivery device

ActiveUS7060059B2Maintaining continuous, long-term control of the blood glucose concentrationsImprove performancePeptide/protein ingredientsDrug and medicationsInsulin infusionClosed loop
A closed loop therapy system for controlling a concentration of a substance, such as blood glucose concentration, in the body of a user. The system and method employ a sensor system that measures a glucose level in the body, a controller that uses the measured glucose levels to generate an output that can be used to automatically or manually control an intradermal insulin infusion system to set a constant or time-varying profile of target blood glucose concentrations in a user, and then infuse an appropriate amount of insulin into the body of the user so as to reach and maintain the target values of the blood glucose concentration.

Method for controlling insulin pump using Bluetooth protocol

A method for controlling an insulin pump using the Bluetooth protocol. The method comprises allocating IDs to insulin pumps and blood sugar level measuring devices, respectively; checking, in a corresponding insulin pump, whether or not blood sugar level data is inputted from a blood sugar level measuring device having a corresponding ID; cumulating inputted data and judging whether or not abnormality occurs; generating a command to allow the insulin pump to operate as it is, when abnormality did not occur; generating a command to change an insulin injection amount of the insulin pump when abnormality occurred, and then, returning to the third step; and determining a system to be out of order when data is not inputted in the checking step, and generating an alarm so that a qualified person can visit a corresponding patient to have a trouble to be directly addressed.
