  • Patent number: 11468042
    Abstract: Data management units for supporting health control of a human or animal body. The units can include a processor adapted to process the following steps: i) if a number of previous measurement data referring to a corresponding tag stored in a data storage is less than a predetermined minimum value: a) no tag is automatically assigned to a new measurement value, or b) a corresponding tag chosen from a group of tags is automatically assigned to the new measurement value based on a first tagging calculation rule; and ii) if the number of the previous measurement data referring to a corresponding tag stored in the data storage is equal to or bigger than the predetermined minimum value, the corresponding tag chosen from a group of tags is automatically assigned to the new measurement value based on at least one second tagging calculation rule.
