CENTRAL DATA EXCHANGE NODE FOR SYSTEM MONITORING AND CONTROL OF BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS IN DIABETIC PATIENTS

摘要

A flexible system capable of utilizing data from different monitoring techniques and capable of providing assistance to patients with diabetes at several scalable levels, ranging from advice about long-term trends and prognosis to real-time automated closed-loop control (artificial pancreas). These scalable monitoring and treatment strategies are delivered by a unified system called the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) platform. The system provides a foundation for implementation of various monitoring, advisory, and automated diabetes treatment algorithms or methods. The DiAs recommendations are tailored to the specifics of an individual patient, and to the patient risk assessment at any given moment. A central data exchange node or server collects patient data from individual DiAs devices and provides safety assurance, monitoring, telemedicine and database building for the DiAs system.
