Using nonlinear model predictive control to find optimal therapeutic strategies to modulate inflammation by Judy Day, Jonathan Rubin, Gilles Clermont

“…In this work, we pursue this goal by implementing a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) algorithm in the context of a reduced computational model of the acute inflammatory response to severe infection. In our simulations, NMPC successfully identifies patient-specific therapeutic strategies, based on simulated observations of clinically accessible inflammatory mediators, which outperform standardized therapies, even when the latter are derived using a general optimization routine. …”
