Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 10:
11. A special purpose computing apparatus, the special purpose computing apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
determine a meal consumption model indicative of a plurality of different blood glucose concentrations of a patient at a plurality of times responsive to ingestion of a meal, wherein the meal comprises a plurality of glycemic components adapted to release glucose in the patient in different amounts at different times;
determine an insulin model indicative of effects on the blood glucose concentration of the patient responsive to insulin infused in the patient;
obtain one or more observations of a blood glucose concentration of the patient;
compute values for physiological parameters based, at least in part, on application of the meal consumption model and the insulin model to the one or more observations of the blood glucose concentration of the patient, wherein the physiological parameters to be specific to the patient, to model a blood glucose concentration of the patient, and to comprise a first meal response gain parameter, a second meal response gain parameter and a plurality of delay parameters; and
cause infusion of the insulin to the patient by generating one or more commands to an infusion pump for infusion of the insulin to the patient, the one or more commands based, at least in part, on one or more of the physiological parameters.
