- the therapy controller 260 may be used to control the administration of one or more doses of a substance to achieve a desired output.

- the measured error 708 represents feedback to the controller 710.
- system 720 represents a response, e.g., a dose response of a patient
- the controller 710 is, in effect, varying the dose, e.g., the dose, e.g., amount, of the substance integrated with the IEM 1 10, and/or varying the time the dose is administered.
- the set point 702 for this type of measurement may be 1 10.5 mmHG.
- the set point 702 may be a predetermined value and, in some cases, may be equal to a reference value, such as a desired blood pressure for a patient.
- controller 710 receives the measured error 708 of 1.5 mmHG, i.e., the difference 704 between 1 10.5 and 109.5.
- the measured error 708 of 1.5 mmHG is then used by the controller 710 to generate the input 709 to the system 720.
- the input 709 causes system 720 to generate the desired output 735, such as the dose of the substance integrated with the IEM 1 10, and/or varying the time the dose of the substance is administered.
- system 720 when the system 720 corresponds to, for example, response 510, system 720 provides the desired output 735 indicative of another dosage of medication as FIG. 5 represents that a dose increases blood pressure by 1.5 mmHG.
- This indication may be provided as an alert to be sent to the patient and/or may control a sensor to administer the substance.
- the desired output 735 may cause an alert to the patient to ingest another dose of the medication integrated with an IEM or vary the dosage amount, the effects of which are monitored by sensors 730.
- the additional ingested dose of the substance, e.g., medication may control therapy by increasing the patient's blood pressure to the desired 110.5 mmHG.
- One or more of the sensors 730 may provide the measured output 706 of 1 10.5 mmHG.
- the value of 1 10. ⁇ mmHG is feedback provided to the difference component 704, at which point the above-described feedback process repeats generating another output 735, and so forth as described above.

- the controller 710 may generate the input 709, such that the output 735 does not correspond to another dose of the substance integrated with the IEM since the measured error indicates that the measured blood pressure of 110.5 equals the desired blood pressure of 1 10.5.
- the sensors 730 may include one or more IEMs 1 10 and one or more wellness devices 1 12. Moreover, the sensors 730 may provide the therapeutic and wellness data 135 or any data indicative of aspects of a patient being administered a therapy with the IEM 1 10.

- the measured output is processed further to obtain the measured error 708, which is provided to controller 710.
- controller 710 controls therapy, e.g., the administration of a drug, by providing the input 709 to system 720.
- the controller 710 may vary, i.e., increase, decrease, or maintain, its output, which serves as the input 709. Moreover, this variation is determined based on the measured error 708. For example, in some implementations, the controller 710 repeatedly varies input 709 until the measured output 706 is about equal to the set point 702, which represents a predetermined, reference value.
- the system 720 thus generates the output 735 in response to the input 709. Moreover, the output 735 may be provided to one or more of the sensors 730 and/or may be provided as an alert to a patient using the IEM 1 10 and integrated substance.
