Abstract

Apparatus for monitoring a substance in human or animal in real time, the apparatus comprising a sensor providing a time series of measurements of substance level, said measurements being indicative of an inferred level of said substance in a part of said human or animal and a processor which applies an interacting multiple model strategy to a system model to provide a combined estimate of the inferred substance level from the substance level measurements. The substance may be glucose. The apparatus may also be adapted to control said substance using said interacting multiple model strategy to a system model to provide a combined estimate of a dose to be applied.
