Abstract:
1. A method for managing and delivering patient therapy through electronic drug delivery systems, the method comprising: a first electronic drug delivery system that is connected to a patient receiving a patient identifier that corresponds to the patient; the first electronic drug delivery system estimating underlying patient-specific control variables based on (i) a therapy provided for a patient and (ii) an observed patient-specific response to the therapy, wherein the underlying patient-specific control variables include values of parameters for an algorithm executed over time to determine dosages; based on (i) the estimated underlying patient-specific control variables, (ii) the observed patient-specific response to the therapy, and (iii) a therapy objective, the first electronic drug delivery system providing an updated therapy for the patient based on updated underlying patient-specific control variables so as to adapt the therapy to the patient; the first electronic drug delivery system transferring to a remote system a record of the updated therapy provided for the patient and the updated underlying patient-specific control variables; upon connecting a second electronic drug delivery system to the patient, the second electronic drug delivery system receiving the patient identifier; the second electronic drug delivery system communicating with the remote system to access the record of the updated therapy and the updated underlying patient-specific control variables associated with the patient identifier; determining a time that therapy was discontinued by the first electronic drug delivery system and based on the time an amount at which to adjust the therapy being provided; and adjusting the record of the updated therapy to take into account the amount at which to adjust the therapy that will be provided by the second electronic drug delivery system.
