SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CALCULATING AN INSULIN DOSING FUNCTION

Abstract

A reinforcement learning process with self attention is used for insulin dosing decisions in an automated medical system. The State-Action-Reward-Next State (SARS) sequence is used. The state represents the current condition, including recent continuous glucose monitoring readings, insulin doses, meal information, and potentially other relevant factors like time of day or physical activity levels. Based on this state, the agent takes an action by deciding on an insulin dose. It then receives a reward, a numerical value quantifying the quality of the action, based on resulting glucose levels and their proximity to the target range. This leads to a new state, and the process repeats. Through this iterative process, the algorithm updates the neural network weights, allowing the agent to learn which actions lead to better outcomes in different states.
