In this paper, we investigated the possibility of designing a system to control glycemia, i.e. the blood glucose concentration, in patients admitted in an Intensive Care Unit. The system consists of a patient model and a controller. This paper describes the first results of data based patient modeling. System theoretically, the identification problem was considered to be open-loop. Two input-output models were discussed: an AutoRegressive with eXogeneous inputs (ARX) and a Prediction-Error-Model (PEM). Glycemia simulations applied to a training set resulted in an acceptable performance. ARX-models outperformed PEM-models. However, the use of these models on a validation set was clinically not yet feasible due to large glycemia errors. Future research is needed to develop a more accurate patient model.
