  • Publication number: 20190076066
    Abstract: A continuous glucose monitoring system may utilize externally sourced information regarding the physiological state and ambient environment of its user for externally calibrating sensor glucose measurements. Externally sourced factory calibration information may be utilized, where the information is generated by comparing metrics obtained from the data used to generate the sensor's glucose sensing algorithm to similar data obtained from each batch of sensors to be used with the algorithm in the future. The output sensor glucose value of a glucose sensor may also be estimated by analytically optimizing input sensor signals to accurately correct for changes in sensitivity, run-in time, glucose current dips, and other variable sensor wear effects.

  • Patent number: 9854998
    Abstract: Subject matter disclosed herein relates to monitoring and/or controlling levels of an analyte in bodily fluid. In particular, estimation of a concentration of the analyte in a first physiological compartment based upon observations of a concentration of the analyte in a second physiological compartment may account for a latency in transporting the analyte between the first and second physiological compartments.

  • Publication number: 20170185733
    Abstract: A method for retrospective calibration of a glucose sensor uses stored values of measured working electrode current (Isig) to calculate a final sensor glucose (SG) value retrospectively. The Isig values may be preprocessed, discrete wavelet decomposition applied. At least one machine learning model, such as, e.g., Genetic Programming (GP) and Regression Decision Tree (DT), may be used to calculate SG values based on the Isig values and the discrete wavelet decomposition. Other inputs may include, e.g., counter electrode voltage (Vcntr) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) data. A plurality of machine learning models may be used to generate respective SG values, which are then fused to generate a fused SG. Fused SG values may be filtered to smooth the data, and blanked if necessary.
