The granted patent US12064591B2 outlines an innovative insulin delivery system that integrates a mobile device with near field communication (NFC) technology to enhance insulin therapy management. The system comprises an insulin delivery device and an NFC device that stores and transmits relevant data. When the mobile device is tapped or brought close to the NFC device, it receives data regarding insulin therapy. The mobile device, equipped with a display and processor, processes this information to suggest a bolus dosage of insulin. Users are prompted to confirm or deny this suggested dosage, ensuring a user-friendly interface for managing their insulin intake.

Further claims detail the functionality of the system, including the ability to transmit confirmed insulin delivery instructions back to the insulin delivery device. The NFC device may also store data related to meal items, enhancing the system's capability to tailor insulin delivery based on dietary intake. Additionally, the mobile device can include an accelerometer to detect movement, which can trigger communication with the NFC device when certain thresholds are met. This feature aims to streamline the interaction between the user and the insulin delivery system, promoting timely and accurate insulin administration. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to improving diabetes management through technology integration.
