  • Publication number: 20230136188
    Abstract: Glucose level measurements and additional data regarding a user are obtained over time, such as from a wearable glucose monitoring device being worn by the user. This additional data identifies events or conditions that may affect glucose of the user, such as physical activity engaged in by the user. A glucose prediction system analyzes, for example, activity data of the user and determines when a bout of physical activity occurs. The glucose prediction system predicts what the glucose measurements of the user would have been had the physical activity not occurred, and takes various actions based on the predicted glucose measurements (e.g., provides feedback to the user indicating what their glucose would have been had they not engaged in the physical activity).

  • Publication number: 20230135175
    Abstract: Glucose level measurements or other data regarding a user are obtained over time, such as from a wearable glucose monitoring device being worn by the user. These glucose level measurements or other data are analyzed based on various rules to determine time periods during a day of, for example, good diabetes management by the user and provide feedback indicating such to the user. Good diabetes management is identified in various manners, such as by identifying improvements in glucose measurements for a given time period over one or more previous days, identifying a time period of the day during which glucose measurements were the best, identifying sustained positive patterns (e.g., good diabetes management for a same time period in each of multiple days), and so forth.

  • Publication number: 20230134919
    Abstract: Glucose level measurements of a user are obtained over time, such as from a wearable glucose monitoring device being worn by the user. These glucose level measurements can be produced substantially continuously, such that the device may be configured to produce the glucose level measurements at regular or irregular intervals of time, responsive to establishing a communicative coupling with a different device, and so forth. These glucose level measurements are analyzed to detect deviations from past glucose measurements, such as glucose measurements received earlier in the day or glucose measurements received at corresponding times of one or more preceding days. Indications of detected deviations are provided to the user or communicated elsewhere, such as to a healthcare professional.

  • Publication number: 20230138673
    Abstract: Feedback regarding diabetes management by a user is generated, such as feedback identifying improvements in glucose measurements for a given time period over previous days, feedback identifying sustained positive patterns, feedback identifying deviations in glucose measurements between time periods, feedback identifying potential behavior modification that a user could take to engage in beneficial diabetes management behavior, feedback identifying what a user's glucose would have been had the particular events or conditions not occurred or not been present, and so forth. A feedback presentation system analyzes the identified feedback and selects feedback based on various rankings, rules and conditions for display to the user. The selected feedback is provided to the user at various times, such as regular reports (e.g., daily or weekly reports), in real time (e.g., notifying the user what his glucose level would have been had he not just taken a walk), and so forth.

  • Publication number: 20230133195
    Abstract: Glucose monitoring over phases and corresponding phased information display is described. A multi-phase glucose monitoring program that includes at least a first phase and a second phase is initiated. First glucose data of a user is obtained during the first phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. The output of the first glucose data in a glucose monitoring user interface is prevented during the first phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. Second glucose data of the user is then obtained during a second phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. The second glucose data is output, in real-time, in the glucose monitoring user interface during the second phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program.

  • Publication number: 20230140143
    Abstract: Glucose measurements are received and features for corresponding time periods over a time window are generated, the features being values indicating whether the user has been engaging in beneficial diabetes management behaviors. Using the aggregated features patterns indicating that beneficial diabetes management behaviors are not being engaged in are identified. Potential behavior modification feedback is generated by including in the potential behavior modification feedback at least one behavior modification feedback, for each of the identified patterns, that a user could take to engage in beneficial diabetes management behavior. At least one of the potential behavior modification feedback is selected and displayed or otherwise presented to the user.

  • Publication number: 20220202320
    Abstract: User interfaces for glucose insight presentation are leveraged. A glucose monitoring application is configured to process glucose measurements to determine one or more glucose insights, e.g., about a user's glucose. The glucose measurements, for example, may be obtained from a glucose monitoring device that collects glucose measurements of the user at predetermined intervals, e.g., every five minutes. The glucose monitoring application configures a user interface, based on configuration data, to present one or more visual elements representative of the one or more glucose insights. For example, the glucose monitoring application may configure the user interface to include a visual element in the form of a color field which represents whether the user's current glucose measurement (e.g., the most recent glucose measurement obtained from the glucose monitoring device) is below, within, or above a glucose range.

  • Publication number: 20220202319
    Abstract: Meal and activity logging with a glucose monitoring interface is described. A glucose monitoring application is configured to display a user interface that includes a glucose graph that plots glucose measurements of a user over time. The glucose measurements, for example, may be obtained from a glucose monitoring device that collects glucose measurements of the user at predetermined intervals, e.g., every five minutes. Unlike conventional event logging approaches, the glucose monitoring application displays representations of logged events in the user interface along with the glucose graph. The logged events, for example, may include meals consumed by the user, and/or various activities performed by the user, such as exercise, meditation, sleep, and so forth. Notably, the glucose monitoring application controls the display of the event representations to be presented at positions on the glucose graph that correspond to times associated with the respective events.

  • Publication number: 20200196922
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for patient monitoring. An example method comprises receiving an estimated glucose concentration level of the patient from a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system for a first time period. The method may also include receiving non-glucose information relating to the patient for the first time period and determining a relationship between the estimated glucose concentration level and the non-glucose information. The method may also include receiving non-glucose information relating to the patient for a second time period and determining diabetic information about the patient for the second time period based upon the determined relationship and the non-glucose information. The method may include electronically delivering a notification about the diabetic information.

  • Patent number: 5472654
    Abstract: A manually operable device that is used to cut a synthetic material and also singe the end of this newly cut material to prevent it from unravelling. This tool incorporates a separate crimping assembly, cutting assembly, and burning assembly for each of these steps. The crimping assembly holds the material in place during the cutting and burning stages and also aids in fusing the melted ends of the material into a uniform mass. The cutting assembly cuts the material where desired, trims any stray fibers from the cut and/or fused end, and also removes any excess burn from this fused end. The burning assembly, connected to a reservoir, burns a flammable fluid so as to burn or singe the material placed thereover.
