577 results about "Pancreas" patented technology

The pancreas is an organ of the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates. In humans, it is located in the abdomen behind the stomach and functions as a gland. The pancreas is a heterocrine gland, having both an endocrine and a digestive exocrine function. As an endocrine gland, it functions mostly to regulate blood sugar levels, secreting the hormones insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide. As a part of the digestive system, it functions as an exocrine gland secreting pancreatic juice into the duodenum through the pancreatic duct. This juice contains bicarbonate, which neutralizes acid entering the duodenum from the stomach; and digestive enzymes, which break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in food entering the duodenum from the stomach.

User parameter dependent cost function for personalized reduction of hypoglycemia and / or hyperglycemia in a closed loop artificial pancreas system

Exemplary embodiments described herein relate to a closed loop artificial pancreas system. The artificial pancreas system seeks to automatically and continuously control the blood glucose level of a user by emulating the endocrine functionality of a healthy pancreas. The artificial pancreas system uses a closed loop control system with a cost function. The penalty function helps to bound the infusion rate of insulin to attempt to avoid hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. However, unlike conventional systems that use a generic or baseline parameter for a user's insulin needs in a cost function, the exemplary embodiments may use a customized parameter in the cost function that reflects the individualized insulin needs of the user. The use of the customized parameter causes the cost function to result in insulin dosages over time better suited to the individualized insulin needs of the user. This helps to better avoid hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
