VELOCITY-WEIGHTING MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF AN ARTIFICIAL PANCREAS FOR TYPE 1 DIABETES APPLICATIONS

摘要

Methods, devices, algorithms, and systems controlling insulin delivery employ velocity-weighting. Predicted glucose outcomes are penalized with a cost modulated by a factor that is a function of the glucose velocity, wherein glucose outcomes are penalized increasingly less for increasingly negative glucose velocities, when glucose level is high, and/or wherein a hyperglycemic glucose value that is already converging to the euglycemic zone results in less corrective action by the controller than were the hyperglycemic state steady.
