Glucose rate increase detector and artificial pancreas including same, health monitoring system for real-time prediction of imminent adverse events, and meal detection module for health monitoring system

摘要

A glucose rate increase detector (GRID) for use in an artificial pancreas (AP), wherein the GRID detects in a person persistent increases in glucose associated with a meal, and either triggers a meal bolus to blunt meal peak safely, during closed-loop control, or alerts the person to bolus for a meal, during open-loop control.
