Patent ID: 10638979

Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for error modeling and correction in a blood analyte sensor or system. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus employs: (i) a training mode of operation, whereby the apparatus conducts “machine learning” to model one or more errors (e.g., unmodeled variable system errors) associated with the blood analyte measurement process, and (ii) generation of an operational model (based at least in part on data collected/received in the training mode), which is applied to correct or compensate for the errors during normal operation and collection of blood analyte data. This enhances device signal stability and accuracy over extended periods, thereby enabling among other things extended periods of blood analyte sensor implantation, and “personalization” of the sensor apparatus to each user receiving an implant. In one variant, the blood analyte is glucose, and the implanted sensor utilizes an oxygen-based molecular measurement principle.
