Modulation-encoded light, using different spectral bin coded light components, can illuminate a stationary or moving (relative) target object or scene. Response signal processing can use information about the respective different time-varying modulation functions, to decode to recover information about a respective response parameter affected by the target object or scene. Electrical or optical modulation encoding can be used. LED-based spectroscopic analysis of a composition of a target (e.g., SpO2, glucose, etc.) can be performed; such can optionally include decoding of encoded optical modulation functions. Baffles or apertures or optics can be used, such as to constrain light provided by particular LEDs. Coded light illumination can be used with a focal plane array light imager receiving response light for inspecting a moving semiconductor or other target. Encoding can use orthogonal functions, such as an RGB illumination sequence, or a sequence of combinations of spectrally contiguous or non-contiguous colors.

Exemplary embodiments relate to drug delivery devices, such as automated insulin delivery (AMD) devices. The described methods and apparatuses allow an AMD device to be initialized and/or operated with little or no user input. Exemplary logic initializes the AMD device to operate with known-safe drug delivery parameters that leverage the AMD device's ability to monitor blood glucose levels at short intervals and continuously deliver small amounts of insulin. The AMD then rapidly adapts the parameters and system constraints based on current and historical glucose measurements. Further embodiments provide for the detection of events that result in disturbances to glucose control, and to adaptation of alert frequency based on user behavior.

Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device to deliver fluid to a body of a user involves obtaining measurement values for a physiological condition influenced by the fluid, autonomously operating the infusion device to deliver the fluid based at least in part on the measurement values, and detecting a nonactionable condition based on the measurement values. In response to detecting the nonactionable condition, delivery of the fluid is limited while maintaining autonomous operation of the infusion device. In one exemplary embodiment, the nonactionable condition is a rescue condition indicative of the user having consumed fast-acting carbohydrates, and thus insulin delivery may be automatically limited in response to detecting the rescue carbohydrate consumption.

To better understand the impact of glycemic events, some entities have begun examining the relationship between the blood glucose level and another physiological parameter. However, this relationship can be difficult to understand. Introduced here are computer programs and associated computer-implemented techniques for discovering glycemic events in a series of data values representative of blood glucose measurements and then altering the measurement schedule of a sensor capable of generating measurements in a dimension other than blood glucose based on the glycemic events. By altering the measurement schedule of the sensor, a diabetes management platform can better understand how, if at all, dimensions other than blood glucose are related to the glycemic health state of a subject whose blood glucose level is being monitored.

Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

A system 100 comprises a number of devices 102 in communication with one another. The devices 102 are associated with a user 104 and may comprise a smartphone 102A, wearable devices such as a headset 102B or heart rate monitor 102C, and other local devices 102D,102E such as smart speakers including a microphone, cameras, motion sensors or other devices used for monitoring the area around the user 104. The wearable devices may comprise sensors for monitoring physiological parameters or an IMU for monitoring position or movement of the user 104. One or more of the devices 102 can be configured to detect a critical event. A critical event is an event considered to be dangerous or causes the user to require assistance such as cardiac events, a drop in blood sugar level, or a fall. If a critical event occurs, one or more of the devices 102 can raise an alarm or contact assistance. Before such takes place, the system confirms that a prospective critical event is an actual critical event by obtaining additional data from another device 102 in the system. This can help to avoid false alarms or other calls for assistance being raised unnecessarily.

The present disclosure provides a matrix microneedle patch made of a hyaluronic acid (HA) polymeric backbone functionalized with dopamine (DA) and 4-amino-3-fluorophenylboronic acid (AFBA, pKa ~7.5) that quickly and spontaneously crosslinks upon mixing of the polymer solutions by auto-oxidation of catechol groups and reversible interactions between AFBA and catechol functional groups in the absence of any chemical crosslinking agent. The DA and AFBA content were selected for conjugation into the backbone of the HA polymer for the desired hormone delivery profile. The patch provides high drug loading capacity for long-term drug delivery application. The crosslinking mechanism for microneedle fabrication is biocompatible and beneficial for sustaining hormone drug stability and bioactivity as it does not require harsh crosslinking conditions. Facile pH adjustment of the matrix hydrogel can be easily casted into a microneedle patch without multistep processes that conventional patch polymerization requires. The present matrix microneedle patch demonstrates sufficient skin penetration, rapid swelling in interstitial media, high drug loading capacity and effective hypo/hyperglycemia prevention by the automated hypo/hyperglycemia-triggered delivery of hormones through the skin.
