Performance monitoring of diabetic patient systems

The minimum variance performance measure is applied to two diabetic patient models under simulated fault scenarios. The Bergman model and the automated insulin dosage advisor, are controlled in the internal model control framework to achieve adequate blood glucose levels. The focus of the paper is to reflect the importance and feasibility of implementing a detection and diagnosis tool such as the minimum variance performance benchmark to an implantable device for diabetics to guarantee adequate control of blood glucose levels.
