  • Patent number: 11854681
    Abstract: A data management unit for supporting health control, the unit including: a processor, a data input adapted to input data and/or requests and connected to the processor, a data storage connected to the processor, wherein the processor is adapted to assign a tag referring to an event chosen from a group of tags comprising the fasting tag and at least one other event tag to a new data received from the data input or a measurement unit, wherein the tag is assigned either automatically by the processor and/or via the data input, wherein the fasting tag can only be assigned to the new data if a time stamp of the new data is within a predefined fasting window, wherein the predefined fasting window is stored in the data storage.

  • Patent number: 11587662
    Abstract: The invention refers to a medical device for supporting health control. In order to provide safe access to a dose helper functionality, the device has a first storage means arranged to store an initial data matrix with at least one initial parameter set containing at least two initial data entries for one parameter of the dose helper functionality; receiving means arranged to receive initialization data and/or security data, preferably from a second storage means, for example provided by a hardware key; selecting means operable to select based at least in part on the initialization data one data entry for each initial parameter set as initial data or one initial parameter template containing a reference to one data entry for each initial parameter set as initial data; and first activation means arranged to activate, preferably based at least in part on the security data, execution of the dose helper functionality based on the selected initial data.

  • Publication number: 20220059206
    Abstract: A medical device for supporting health control is provided. An example medical device can include a receiver unit configured to receive information regarding a current location of the medical device or a current time-zone of the medical device, a user interface, a storage unit storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the medical device to perform operations. Examples of operations include determining a current location of the medical device and/or a current time zone of the medical device from the received information, providing a dose helper functionality employing a titration method to determine and/or recommend a basal long-acting insulin dose value or a corrective amount of basal long-acting insulin to be administered by a patient to the patient based on a measured physiological parameter, information about hyperglycemic events, the determined current location and/or current time zone of the medical device.

  • Publication number: 20200090798
    Abstract: A data management unit for supporting health control and avoiding wrong dose suggestion, the unit including: a processor to provide a dose helper functionality with regard to a predefined medicament, a display, a data input unit, a data storage, a clock unit adapted to determine the absolute time of a dose helper request received by the data input. The processor is adapted to initiate storing at least the time of a dose helper request that is outside the time range around the usual dose time in the data storage. The processor is further adapted to execute the dose helper functionality only if the time of the most recent dose helper request is within the dose time window around the usual dose time. The processor is further adapted to initiate sending a recommendation message for change of usual dose time and/or dose time window to the display.
