Techniques disclosed herein relate to continuous analyte sensor quality measures. In some embodiments, the techniques may involve obtaining a sensor-generated value that is indicative of a physiological characteristic of a user of a medical device. The techniques may further involve causing, in response to obtaining a sensor quality metric that indicates accuracy of the sensor-generated value, configuration of a quality-specific operating mode of the medical device, the quality-specific operating mode comprising regulation of basal and bolus deliveries of a fluid medication based on the obtained sensor quality metric.

Continuous analyte sensor quality measures and related therapy actions for an automated therapy delivery system

Disclosed herein are techniques related to interactive guidance for medical devices. The techniques may involve identifying, by an application executing on a computing device, a user objective with respect to a medical device communicatively coupled to the computing device. The techniques may further involve obtaining state information for a current state of a graphical user interface of the medical device. The techniques may also involve generating, based on the current state of the graphical user interface, a guidance user interface comprising an ordered sequence of actuations of user input elements to achieve the identified user objective. Additionally, the techniques may involve obtaining updated state information for an updated state of the graphical user interface. The updated state information may be obtained responsive to an actuation of a user input element. Furthermore, the techniques may involve dynamically updating the guidance user interface based on the updated state information.

Interactive guidance for medical devices

Techniques disclosed herein relate to continuous analyte sensor quality measures. In some embodiments, the techniques may involve obtaining a current sensor-generated value that is indicative of a physiological characteristic of a user of a medical device, the current sensor-generated value produced in response to operation of a continuous analyte sensor device. The techniques may further involve obtaining a sensor quality metric that indicates accuracy of the current sensor-generated value. The techniques may further involve causing, in response to obtaining the sensor quality metric, configuration of a quality-specific operating mode of the medical device, the quality-specific operating mode comprising separate regulation of basal and bolus deliveries of a fluid medication based on the obtained sensor quality metric. The techniques may further involve causing regulation of fluid medication delivery from the medical device, in accordance with the current sensor-generated value and the quality-specific operating mode of the medical device.

Methods, computer-readable medium, and devices that provide a graphic user interface for operating a medical infusion system are described. An exemplary method includes receiving analyte level information for a user; and providing a graphic user interface on a display element that includes an analyte level chart depicting analyte values and an infusate delivery chart. An exemplary chart depicts graphics showing basal amounts of infusate delivered by the system over time, wherein each graphic is illustrated with a dimension indicating an increased, same, or decreased amount relative to an immediately preceding graphic. Further, the exemplary chart depicts indicators showing bolus amounts delivered by the medical infusion system over time, wherein at least a portion of the bolus indicators is illustrated with a dimension not to scale.

Graphic user interface for automated infusate delivery

Disclosed is a method of controlling operation of a medical device that regulates delivery of a fluid medication to a user. The method obtains a current sensor-generated value that is indicative of a physiological characteristic of the user, and is produced in response to operation of a continuous analyte sensor device. The method continues by: calculating a sensor quality metric that indicates reliability and trustworthiness of the current sensor-generated value; adjusting, in response to the calculated sensor quality metric, therapy actions of the medical device to configure a quality-specific operating mode of the medical device; managing generation of user alerts at the medical device in response to the calculated sensor quality metric; and regulating delivery of the fluid medication from the medical device, in accordance with the current sensor-generated value and the quality-specific operating mode of the medical device.

A fluid infusion device and related operating methods are presented here. An exemplary embodiment of the device includes a drive motor assembly, a force sensor associated with the drive motor assembly, and a reservoir cavity that accommodates fluid reservoirs. An exemplary operating method for the device obtains force measurements for a reservoir seating action of the drive motor assembly, where the force measurements indicate measures of force imparted to the force sensor during the reservoir seating action. The method continues by determining that a vent in the reservoir cavity is blocked, based on an analysis of the force measurements, and by initiating corrective action for the fluid infusion device in response to determining that the vent in the reservoir cavity is blocked.
