This disclosure relates to alarms and alerts for medication delivery devices and systems, particularly for medication delivery systems that have a medication delivery device that communicates with a primary user-interface for the medication delivery device and related systems and methods.
People with Type I, Type II, or gestational diabetes must track their blood glucose levels and sometimes treat their condition to maintain appropriate blood glucose levels. Control of diabetes can include the monitoring of blood glucose levels using a blood glucose monitor (BGM) and sometimes a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). People with Type I, and some people with Type II or gestational diabetes, require insulin or an analog thereof. Because it cannot be taken orally, insulin is injected with a syringe or delivered subcutaneously by an external infusion pump. Excessive insulin delivery, however, can result in acute hypoglycemia, which can result in severe bodily injury and/or death. The failure to administer an appropriate amount of insulin to a person with diabetes, however, results in hyperglycemia, which can result in severe bodily injury and/or death. Because of the grave risks associated with diabetes, CGMs and insulin infusion pump systems typically provide a series of alarms and alerts that draw attention to the user's current glycemic condition, system conditions, and/or other potential issues, but these alarms and alerts can result in alert fatigue. Users having alert fatigue may start to ignore alarms or alerts or discontinue use of a CGM or insulin infusion pump, thus reducing the quality of their treatment. Moreover, users may wish to keep their external infusion pump or CGM concealed from view in order to avoid unwanted attention. Accordingly, there is a need for an improved system for providing diabetes-related information, alerts, and alarms.
Medication delivery systems, methods, and devices provided herein include at least a medication delivery device (e.g., an insulin delivery device) and a remote user-interface device (e.g., a smartphone having an installed app) in communication (e.g., wireless communication) with each other. In some cases, the remote user-interface device can serve as the primary user interface for interacting with the medication delivery device, but the medication delivery device can be adapted to provide audible, visual, or haptic feedback under certain conditions. In some cases, methods, devices, and systems provided herein can have a controller in the medication delivery device detect an alarm or alert condition and send a wireless communication intended for a remote user-interface device prior to issuing an alarm or alert on the medication delivery device. In some cases, methods, devices, and systems provided herein can include a controller in the medication delivery device adapted to receive and a remote user-interface device adapted to send a wireless communication indicating that a user has acknowledged an alarm or alert condition. In some cases, methods, devices, and systems provided herein can include a controller in the medication delivery device adapted to cause the medication delivery device to provide an audible, visual, and/or haptic alarm or alert if the controller does not receive a user acknowledgement within a predetermined period of time after sending the wireless communication, which can ensure that the user is able to receive communications from the remote user-interface device. For example, in some cases, a remote user-interface device can be programmed by the user to not provide audible alarms, or the remote user-interface device may be too far away from the medication delivery device or may have a depleted battery. In some cases, the user acknowledgement can come to the controller via a wireless communication from the remote user-interface device or via user interaction with the medication delivery device.
Devices, methods, and systems provided herein can permit a user to stop or quiet an alarm or alert on the remote user-interface device and/or the medication delivery device by pressing one or more appropriate keys or user-selectable icons on the remote user-interface device (e.g., a snooze button) or the medication delivery device, or taking some other interactive action with the remote user-interface device and/or the medication delivery device (e.g., moving the remote user-interface device in a predetermined motion or series of motions). After an alarm or alert is stopped, in some cases, a controller in the medication delivery device may wait a predetermined snooze period of time before re-triggering an alarm or alert by sending a wireless communication intended for the remote user-interface device for the same alarm or alert condition. In some cases, a user will take appropriate action so that the alarm or alert condition is resolved or resolving such that the alarm or alert condition will not be present after the snooze period. In some cases, different alarm or alert conditions will have different predetermined periods of time based on a danger associated with the alarm or alert condition. In some cases, each alarm or alert condition will have the same predetermined periods of time regardless of the danger associated with the alarm or alert condition. For example, in some cases, an alarm for severe hypoglycemia may only be snoozed for a limited amount of time ((e.g., between 5 and 10 minutes), while an alarm for hypoglycemia may be snoozed for a relatively longer period of time (e.g., between 15 and 30 minutes). In some cases, a user can snooze and/or acknowledge an alarm or alert condition via a button on the housing of the medication delivery device. In some cases, medication delivery devices provided herein can include a tap detector and/or a proximity sensor and a user can snooze and/or acknowledge an alarm or alert condition by tapping on the housing of the medication delivery device and/or by motioning (e.g., with the user's hand) within a selected proximity of the delivery device). In some cases, medication delivery devices provided herein will only recognize an acknowledgement via the medication delivery device if there is a predetermined number or pattern of taps, button pushes, or gestures, which can prevent inadvertent button presses or jostling of the medication delivery device from silencing an important alarm. In some cases, alarms or alerts on either the medication delivery device, the remote user-interface device, and/or another remote device can be acknowledged/silenced from one or more of the devices. For example, in some cases a user may hear an audible tone from their remote user-interface device and wish to silence it via quick button press or tap on the medication delivery device even before any audible, visual, or haptic alarm or alert is issued on the medication delivery device. In such cases, the controller in the medication delivery device can send a wireless communication of the acknowledgement to the remote user-interface device to stop the alarm tone. In some cases, the snooze period can depend on the type of alarm or alert. In cases, the snooze period can be the same length of time for all alarm or alert conditions. In some cases, the snooze period can be for a selected period of time, for example, between about 5 minutes and about 30 minutes, between about 10 minutes and about 20 minutes, or about 15 minutes.
A remote user-interface device of systems and methods provided herein can be an intended primary user interface, to provide users with the convenience and discretion offered by the use of remote user-interface devices, such as the user's smartphone. In some cases, methods and systems provided herein can limit the ability of a user to control the medication delivery device without the presence of the remote user-interface device. For example, in some cases, a user will not be able to instruct the medication delivery device to deliver additional medication (e.g., a bolus of medication) without the remote user-interface device. In some cases, the primary user interface can be an application downloadable onto a user's smartphone and adapted to be paired to the medication delivery devices provided herein. Restricting the ability of a user to control the medication delivery device directly may seem counter-intuitive, but redirecting the user's attention to a remote user-interface device can conserve the power supply in the medication delivery device by reducing the power needed to power a robust user interface, as the medication delivery device may be a medication infusion device, intended to be worn on the user's body to provide regular, near continuous, or continuous delivery of medication to the user based on the user's needs, which can make the recharging of a battery in the medication delivery device inconvenient to a user. Remote user-interface devices, such as a smartphone, however, can be more convenient to recharge, and thus can be used to provide better graphics, better sound, and a more intuitive user experience. Additionally, a more robust user experience provided on a remote user-interface device can reduce the opportunity for a user to make a mistake in the delivery of medication. Also, a remote user-interface devices can permit users to check the status of a medication delivery system provided herein without needing to directly access their medication delivery devices.
In some cases, methods, devices, and systems provided herein can additionally include an analyte sensor. For example, in some cases, an insulin delivery system can include a continuous glucose monitor. In some cases, an analyte sensor can be in wireless communication with the medication delivery device and/or the remote user-interface device. In other cases, an analyte sensor can be part of a medication delivery device. In some cases, medication delivery methods, devices, and systems provided herein can automate the delivery of medication to the user based on data from one or more analyte sensors. Automating medication delivery based on feedback from an analyte sensor, however, is only possible if the analyte sensor is providing actionable data. Accordingly, in some cases, methods, devices, and systems provided herein can include a medication delivery device having multiple modes of operation including at least one automation mode (e.g., where medication dosages or rates are changed depending at least in part on data from the analyte sensor) and at least one non-automation mode (e.g., where medication is delivered according to a programmed rate or dosage schedule). Accordingly, medication delivery methods, devices, and systems provided herein can include a medication delivery device adapted to inform the user regarding a current mode of operation even without the presence of the remote user-interface device. For example, in the case of a person with diabetes (PWD) using an insulin delivery system having an automated mode that changes basal rates based on data from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and a mode that simply delivers according to a schedule, the PWD may want to be more cognizant of their blood glucose levels if that PWD knows that the system is not actively adjusting basal rates based on CGM data. Additionally, methods, devices, and systems provided herein can be configured to indicate whether actionable data from the CGM is being received by the medication delivery device on the medication delivery device. In some cases, a housing of the medication delivery device can include a light that indicates the current mode of the medication delivery device. In some cases, the light can be adjacent to a mode icon or can illuminate a mode icon.
In some case, methods, devices, and systems provided herein can alert the user to a need to take additional action to correct for an analyte condition based on data from an analyte sensor. For example, in some cases, an insulin delivery system provided herein in wireless communication with a continuous glucose monitor can provide a PWD with a notice regarding a need to correct a current or anticipated hypoglycemic condition by consuming carbohydrates or a notice regarding a need to administer additional insulin to correct a current or anticipated hyperglycemic condition. In some cases, methods, devices, and systems provided herein may include a user interface on the medication delivery device that does not provide a specific or relative analyte concentration, but instead simply provides an indication regarding a recommended corrective action. In other cases, methods, devices, and systems provided herein can provide a generalized indication of whether the user has a high or low analyte concentration, but not display a specific concentration. In either case, methods and systems provided herein can permit the user to see more specific analyte sensor data, such as specific concentrations, by accessing the remote user-interface device. By limiting the ability of the medication delivery device to display specific analyte sensor data, medication delivery methods and systems provided herein can ensure that the remote user-interface device remains the primary user interface, yet ensure that a user is alerted to safety concerns in a timely manner so that the user can take appropriate corrective action. Additional information that may be displayed on the medication delivery device may include an indication that the amount of medication in the medication delivery device is below a threshold or completely depleted, an indication that an amount of power remaining in a battery in the medication delivery device is below a threshold, an indication that the fluid path for the medication is occluded, or an indication that a message is awaiting the user on the remote user-interface device.
In some cases, methods and systems provided herein can have icons on the medication delivery device that match icons used in the remote user-interface device for communicating alarm or alert conditions. Having matching icons on the medication delivery device and on the remote user-interface device can reinforce the meaning behind these icons as the user uses the system. Additionally, matching icons may provide a user with a more robust explanation of an icon at the remote user-interface device.
In some cases, a remote user-interface device can be adapted to permit the user to enter contextual information regarding the user (e.g., about their condition, about their physical attributes, etc.), and the remote user-interface device can wirelessly communicate the contextual information to a controller in the medication delivery device for use in automating the delivery of medication to the user when in an automated mode. For example, in the case of a person with diabetes (PWD) using an insulin delivery system provided herein, the remote user-interface device can be configured to permit the PWD to enter a meal (e.g., enter an amount of carbohydrates consumed by the PWD). In some cases, a PWD can issue a command for the insulin delivery device to deliver a bolus of insulin for a meal. In some cases, insulin delivery methods and systems provided herein can include a remote user-interface device adapted to permit a user to enter exercise, sickness, menses, other medications (e.g., acetaminophen), exogenous insulin, or any other condition that may impact blood glucose levels or the validity of glucose sensor data. In some case, medication delivery devices provided herein may not permit the entry of such contextual information, which can reinforce the use of the remote user-interface device as the primary user interface.
Medication delivery devices provided herein can include the controller that determines an amount of medication to deliver, rather than merely being directed to deliver certain amounts of medication by a controller on a remote device, in order to minimize missed or inappropriate medication deliveries due to a faulty wireless connection between components of systems provided herein. Accordingly, in some cases, systems and methods provided herein can have a controller in the medication delivery device be the center of an on-body network and the source of truth such that any inconsistencies or conflicting instructions are resolved based on the controller in the medication delivery device. In some cases, a medication delivery device can include a programmed schedule of medication deliveries or rates and/or other user-specific dosage parameters that determine appropriate dosages of medication. In some cases, the controller in the medication delivery device can update or personalize these schedules and/or dosage parameters over time and send these updated schedules and/or dosage parameters to the remote user-interface device for viewing or use by the user. In some cases, a medication delivery device receiving a command to deliver a bolus of medication can double check the command to see if the dosage is appropriate and/or safe for the user and/or whether the remote user-interface device may have used the wrong schedule or dosage parameters in making a recommendation to the user based on user entered data. In some cases, methods, devices, and systems provided herein may require a user to confirm a desire to deliver a bolus by pushing a button or tapping the medication delivery device under certain conditions. For example, in an insulin delivery system provided herein, a user entering an extremely large meal bolus for that user, or entering multiple bolus amounts within a short period of time, may be required to confirm the bolus by pressing the button or tapping on the housing of the insulin delivery device.
Medication delivery devices provided herein can include a sound emitter adapted to play one or more alarm or alert tones, a vibration motor, and/or one or more indicator lights and/or illuminable icons, where the sound emitter, vibration motor, indicator lights or icons, or any combinations thereof are adapted to indicate whether the medication delivery device is delivering medication, whether a medication delivery rate or amount is being determined at least in part on real-time data from the analyte sensor, whether real-time data is available to the medication delivery device, whether the medication delivery device is low or out of medication, whether the medication delivery device is low on power, and/or whether a message is awaiting the user on the remote user-interface device. In some cases, the medication delivery device can be an insulin pump having a sound emitter, a vibration motor, indicator lights and/or icons, or any combinations thereof and can be adapted to indicate that the user needs to consume a meal and/or that the user should administer a bolus. For example, in some cases, a predictive algorithm in an insulin pump can predict a dangerously low blood glucose level that will not be corrected by suspending insulin delivery, and thus the insulin pump provided herein can indicate to the user that the user should consume carbohydrates. In some cases, an insulin pump provided herein can predict that a maximum administration of basal insulin allowed by the programming of the pump will not return the user to a target blood glucose value or range within a predetermined amount of time, and thus the insulin pump provided herein can indicate that the user should administer a corrective bolus. In some cases, an insulin pump provided herein may use data from a continuous glucose monitor to detect a possible meal that was not accompanied by a bolus, and may indicate that the user should administer a bolus.
In some cases, methods, systems, and devices provided herein can include a button on the medication delivery device, which can be used, in addition to acknowledging/snoozing alarms and alerts, to check the status of the medication delivery device (e.g., check to see if it is delivering medication, a current mode, and see if there are any outstanding messages). For example, if a user wishes to know the current mode of the medication delivery device, the user can double press the button, and an indication light or icon can illuminate to indicate the current mode of operation (e.g., automated mode or non-automated mode). In some cases, additional icons may illuminate or flash to indicate other conditions or messages awaiting the user on the remote user-interface device. For example, if an amount of medication remaining is below an alert threshold level, but not below an alarm threshold level (e.g., at a level where corrective action may be advisable, but not necessary), pressing the button may cause a message icon to light and/or for an insulin depleted or low icon to flash. In some cases, in order for a user to know that all of the lights or illuminable icons are working properly, certain conditions may cause all of the lights to flash on (e.g., an instruction from the remote user-interface device during a systems check process or whenever medication delivery device receives a new supply of medication). Moreover, the lights or illuminable icons can flash when a user acknowledges or snoozes an alarm using the medication delivery device. Additionally or alternatively, a tap detector can be used to detect a desire from the user to see the system status on the medication delivery device. In some cases, a tap detecting device can be an accelerometer.
In some cases, methods, systems, and devices provided herein can provide audible, visual, and/or haptic alarms via an analyte sensor worn by the user, which can be in addition to or instead of the alarms or alerts provided by the medication delivery device.
One or more cases of the present disclosure may include an on-body networked medication-delivery system. Such a system may include an analyte sensor adapted to generate analyte data for a user and wirelessly transmit the analyte data, and a medication delivery device in wireless communication with the analyte sensor. The medication delivery device can include a medication reservoir or a space to receive a medication reservoir, a drive system adapted to meter the administration of medication out of the medication delivery device, and a feedback feature or features to provide audible, visual, or haptic feedback to a user. The medication delivery device can include a controller adapted to change a dosage of medication based at least in part on the analyte sensor data and can be adapted to issue alarm and alert wireless communications based on a detection of an alarm or alert condition, and a tap detector or button adapted to permit the user to check the status of the medication delivery device or to acknowledge the alert or alarm conditions. The on-body networked medication-delivery system can include a remote user-interface device in wireless communication with the medication delivery device. The remote user-interface device can be adapted to receive the alarm and alert wireless communications from the controller and provide an audible, visual, or haptic alarm or alert message to the user and can permit the user to acknowledge an associated alarm or alert condition. In some cases, the remote user-interface device can be adapted to wirelessly communicate each acknowledgement to the controller. In some cases, the controller can be adapted to trigger an audible, visual, or haptic alarm or alert message via the feedback feature to provide audible, visual, or haptic feedback if the controller fails to receive an acknowledgement of the alert or alarm condition within a predetermined period of time after the controller issues the alarm and alert wireless communication.
