Patent number: 8958991Abstract: Described and illustrated herein is an exemplary method of operating an analyte measurement device having a display, user interface, processor, memory, and user interface buttons. Such method can be achieved by measuring an analyte with the analyte measurement device, displaying a value representative of the analyte, querying a user to select a predetermined flag to associate the predetermined flag with the value, and pressing only one of the user interface buttons once to store the predetermined flag with the value in the memory of the analyte measurement device. In one embodiment, the testing device is a glucose meter and the analyte being tested is glucose.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2009Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: LifeScan Scotland LimitedInventors: Chris Stephens, Lynne Coventry, Raymond John Welsh, David Angus Sturrock, Alexander Strachan, Mel Chiba, Allan Orr

Patent number: 8348843Abstract: A meter is provided that includes an improved user interface that enables the user to take a specific action, leading them directly to data input options. Such a user interface could be used to input first selected information, such as whether a test was premeal or postmeal, immediately after receiving a result. Optionally, the user interface may include the ability to add an additional comment after inputting the first selected information. Provision of such a user interface would facilitate simpler capture of the first selected information each time the user performs a test, leading to an enhanced understanding of a patient's level of glycemic control. Designing a user interface to enable first selected information to be entered by a user directly after receiving a result is more likely to engage a patient by making it easy and simple to enter important information. This may enable capture of the information thought to be most pertinent e.g.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: LifeScan Scotland LimitedInventors: Stanley Alan Young, David William Taylor, Allan Orr, Cheryl Neary, Nicola Canning, Marc Daniel Stern
