Introduction Clinical Setting - Glucoregulatory system - Patients and Data Assessment Proc. - Glucose sensors - Glycemia control system Control System - Black-Box model - Grey-Box model - Controller Conclusions Ph.D. Defense Tom Van Herpe April 15, 2008 Model based Predictive Control (MPC) MPC is a control paradigm which, based on a dynamic model of the system to be controlled, solves a mathematical optimization problem in order to find the optimal sequence of input signals within a finite future time window of length N, after which only the first input signal is applied to the system. Constraints in the optimization problem (e.g., 0 ≤ F I ≤ max insulin flow) Flexibility with “adaptive” models (to capture varying patient dynamics) Future known disturbances (prevention of deviations from normoglycemia)
