1. A method of operating a medication delivery system comprising a fluid pump mechanism and at least one controller that regulates operation of the fluid pump mechanism to deliver medication from the medication delivery system, the method comprising:
operating the medication delivery system in a first mode of operation to automatically deliver the medication to a user in accordance with a therapy control algorithm;
receiving body movement information generated at least in part from gesture data for the user, the gesture data provided by a gesture-based physical behavior detection system;
searching a movement correlation database to find a body motion or a pattern of body motions correlated with the body movement information, wherein the body motion or the pattern of body motion associates with involuntary movement of body muscles;
identifying a physiological characteristic response of the user, the physiological characteristic response correlated with the body motion or the pattern of body motions found by the searching; and
operating the medication delivery system in a second mode of operation to automatically deliver the medication to the user in accordance with a movement-correlated therapy control algorithm, based at least in part on the identified physiological characteristic response.
