CLOSED LOOP PAIN MANAGEMENT INFUSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013883 titled 'CLOSED LOOP PAIN MANAGEMENT INFUSION

Simplified Explanation

The invention is an apparatus for controlling a drug infusion pump, specifically for pain medication. It controls the infusion pump to apply an infusion protocol, which defines the times and amounts of drug infusion. The apparatus includes a providing unit that monitors the patient's data during the infusion protocol to determine the effect of the drug on the patient. Based on this monitoring data and the currently applied infusion protocol, a customized protocol determination unit determines a customized infusion protocol. The controlling unit then controls the infusion pump to apply the customized infusion protocol instead of the currently applied protocol.

  • The invention is an apparatus for controlling a drug infusion pump.
  • It applies an infusion protocol that defines times and amounts of drug infusion.
  • A providing unit monitors the patient's data during the infusion protocol.
  • The monitoring data indicates the effect of the drug on the patient.
  • A customized protocol determination unit determines a customized infusion protocol based on the monitoring data and the currently applied protocol.
  • The controlling unit applies the customized infusion protocol instead of the currently applied protocol.

Potential Applications:

  • Pain management: The apparatus can be used to control the infusion of pain medication, providing customized protocols for individual patients.
  • Medical research: The monitoring data collected during the application of infusion protocols can be used for research purposes, studying the effects of drugs on patients.

Problems Solved:

  • Inefficient drug infusion: The apparatus ensures that the drug infusion is controlled according to a customized protocol, optimizing the effectiveness of pain medication.
  • Lack of personalized treatment: By determining a customized infusion protocol based on monitoring data, the apparatus provides personalized treatment for patients, taking into account their individual responses to the drug.

Benefits:

  • Improved pain management: The customized infusion protocol allows for more effective pain relief, tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
  • Enhanced patient safety: By monitoring the patient's data and adjusting the infusion protocol accordingly, the apparatus ensures the safe administration of pain medication.
  • Increased efficiency: The apparatus automates the process of determining and applying customized infusion protocols, saving time and effort for healthcare professionals.
