Enhanced Meal Detection and Insulin Delivery System

An improved system for automatic detection of un-bolused meals and optimized insulin delivery, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of diabetes management.

The original patent, 'Automatic detection of un-bolused meals', addresses the need for accurate and timely insulin delivery in diabetes management. However, the existing system has limitations in detecting meal patterns and adjusting insulin delivery rates in real-time. The new inventive concept builds upon the original patent by introducing advanced analytics and machine learning capabilities to improve meal detection and insulin delivery optimization.

The enhanced system comprises a continuous glucose monitoring system, an ambulatory infusion pump, and a processing unit with advanced analytics and machine learning capabilities. The system analyzes CGM data to identify patterns indicative of un-bolused meals and automatically adjusts insulin delivery rates based on the identified patterns. The system also includes a control unit that receives CGM data and adjusts insulin delivery rates in real-time to prevent hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. Additionally, the system incorporates a machine learning algorithm that adapts insulin delivery rates to individual user needs, ensuring personalized diabetes management.

The new claims introduce novel features such as advanced analytics, machine learning capabilities, and real-time insulin delivery rate adjustments, which are not present in the original patent. These features provide a significant improvement in meal detection and insulin delivery optimization, making the new inventive concept non-obvious and novel.

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include integrating the system with other health monitoring devices, such as fitness trackers or mobile applications, to gather additional data and provide more comprehensive diabetes management. Variations of the system could also include using different types of analytics or machine learning algorithms to improve meal detection and insulin delivery optimization.

The enhanced meal detection and insulin delivery system has significant commercial potential in the diabetes management market, particularly among patients who require frequent insulin injections. The system's ability to provide personalized and optimized insulin delivery could improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
