Activity sensing techniques for an infusion pump system

摘要

Some embodiments of a wearable infusion pump system can include a pump device having a drive system to dispense a medicine to a user, an activity sensor that detects a possible change in an activity level of the user, and a controller to activate the drive system to dispense the medicine to the user. The controller device can query the user to indicate whether a detected activity level of the user represents an actual change in the activity level of the user. The controller device can alter the medicine dispensing schedule based on the user indicated changes in activity level.

主权项

1. A wearable infusion pump system, comprising:
a pump drive system configured to dispense insulin to a user from a reservoir in a pump housing; means for controlling the pump drive system to dispense the insulin from the reservoir according to a predetermined dosage schedule; means for detecting an activity level of the user, the means for detecting the activity level being in communication with means for controlling and being housed together with the means for controlling; means for querying the user to confirm whether the detected activity level of the user represents an actual activity level of the user; and wherein the means for controlling alters the dispensation of insulin from the reservoir as a result of the user confirming via the means for querying that the detected activity level represents the actual activity level of the user.
