Abstract

See full text

A real-time controller operating as an artificial pancreas uses a Kalman control algorithm to control glucose level of a patient in real time. The real-time controller receives an estimate of the patient glucose level and a reference glucose level. The estimate of the patient glucose level can be provided by an optimal estimator implemented using a linearized Kalman filter. The estimated glucose level and the reference glucose level are processed by the Kalman control algorithm to determine a control command in real time. The Kalman control algorithm has a dynamic process forced by the control command a cost function determining a relative level of control. The control command is provided to a dispenser which secretes insulin or glucagon in response to the control command to correct a relatively high glucose level or a relatively low glucose level.
