Devices and methods for initialization of drug delivery devices using measured analyte sensor information

Abstract

Disclosed are processes and techniques implementable by a drug delivery system to maintain optimal drug delivery for a patient according to a treatment plan. The disclosed techniques enable a new drug delivery device that is exchanged for a previous drug delivery device to operate using analyte-based drug delivery control immediately during initialization instead of having to wait for a warm-up period. For example, a drug delivery device may include a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, operate the drug delivery device to receive a present analyte measurement value from an analyte sensor during an initialization of the drug delivery device, receive backfill values measured by the analyte sensor prior to the initialization, calculate a dosage of a drug using the present analyte measurement value and the backfill values, and deliver the dosage of the drug. Other embodiments are described.
