Techniques enabling adaptation of parameters in aid systems by user input

Abstract

Disclosed are techniques and devices that are operable to receive one or a number of generalized parameters of an automated insulin delivery algorithm. An input of at least one generalized parameter corresponding to a user may be used to set one or more of the number of specific parameters of the automated insulin delivery algorithm based on the inputted at least one generalized parameter. Physiological condition data related to the user may be collected. The automated insulin delivery algorithm may determine a dosage of insulin to be delivered based on the collected physiological condition. Signals may be output to cause a liquid drug to be delivered to the user based on an output of the automated insulin delivery algorithm related to the determined dosage of insulin.
