METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DELIVERING A SUBSTANCE TO AN INDIVIDUAL

摘要

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting, by a substance delivery system coupled to a body part of an individual, an input signal not associated with a biological measurement of the individual, determining from the input signal, by the substance delivery system, whether delivering a dosage of a substance stored in the substance delivery system is needed and conforms to a dosage policy, and responsive to determining from the input signal that delivery of the dosage of the substance is needed and conforms to the dosage policy, initiating, by the substance delivery system, delivery of the dosage of the substance to the body part of the individual. Other embodiments are disclosed.

1. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
detecting an input signal by a sensing device coupled to a body part of an individual, wherein the input signal is not associated with a biological measurement of the individual; determining from the input signal whether to deliver to the body part of the individual a dosage of a substance stored in a microfluidic system of the sensing device, and whether delivering the dosage satisfies a dosage policy; responsive to determining from the input signal that delivery of the dosage of the substance is needed and satisfies the dosage policy:
initiating, by the microfluidic system, delivery of the dosage of the substance to the body part of the individual;obtaining, by the sensing device, sensing data associated with a biological measurement of the individual; anddetermining from the biological measurement whether the dosage has improved a biological condition of the individual adjustable by the dosage.
