1. Indications

The remote autonomous algorithm-based recommendation system for insulin dose calculation and titration is indicated for patients with poorly controlled diabetes who require multiple daily pen injections. This system is particularly useful for those who may struggle with managing their insulin dosages effectively due to fluctuating blood glucose levels.

• Poorly Controlled Diabetes Patients who have difficulty maintaining stable blood glucose levels and require assistance in managing their insulin dosages.
• Multiple Daily Pen Injections Individuals who need to administer insulin multiple times a day, making it essential to have precise dosage recommendations.

2. Procedure

The procedure for utilizing the remote autonomous algorithm-based recommendation system involves several key steps that ensure effective insulin dose calculation and titration.

• Step 1: Initial Data Input The healthcare provider begins by collecting the patient's clinical history, which includes the latest time-stamped blood glucose readings and the amounts of insulin injected. This information is crucial for the algorithm to generate accurate dosage recommendations.
• Step 2: Software Upload The provider uploads the algorithm-based software to the patient's smart device. This step is essential for enabling the system to function and provide real-time recommendations based on the patient's data.
• Step 3: Algorithm-Based Recommendation Once the initial data is inputted, the system computes the first insulin dose recommendation. This recommendation is based on the historical data provided and is tailored to the patient's specific needs.
• Step 4: Continuous Monitoring The system employs machine learning algorithms to continuously monitor the patient's glucose levels. It predicts the risk of hypoglycemia and adjusts the insulin dosage recommendations accordingly, ensuring that the patient receives the most appropriate dosage over time.

3. Post-Procedure

After the implementation of the remote autonomous algorithm-based recommendation system, the patient is expected to engage in regular monitoring of their blood glucose levels as recommended by their healthcare provider. The system will continue to collect and transmit data for a period of 30 days, during which the healthcare provider may review the data to make further adjustments if necessary. Patients should be educated on how to interpret the recommendations provided by the system and the importance of adhering to the suggested insulin dosages to maintain optimal blood glucose control.
