Medical devices and related systems and methods are provided. A method of controlling medication delivery based on sensor input involves obtaining a measurement parameter representing an electrical response of a first instance of a sensing element to a physiological condition of a person. The measurement parameter is converted into a calibrated measurement parameter using calibration data specific to the first instance of the sensing element. The method further involves determining a measurement value using the calibrated measurement parameter as input to a performance model. The performance model is derived from historical calibrated measurement parameters and corresponding reference values. The historical calibrated measurement parameters are from other instances of the sensing element. A command is then determined based on the measurement value and sent to a medical device. The command causes the medical device to deliver a dose of medication influencing the physiological condition of the person.
