  • Patent number: 6421633
    Abstract: A method and system of predicting the level of the HbA1C component of glycosylated haemoglobin in a patient's blood. A mathematical model is derived which predicts the behavior of the HbA1C, component level relative to the blood glucose level using previously measured HbA1C and blood glucose levels. The model is updated each time a new HbA1C level is measured using that new measurement and recent new blood glucose level measurements. The updated model is then applied to predict the HbA1C level, between measurements of that level, using measurements of blood glucose level obtained since the last HbA1C measurement.

  • Patent number: 6231519
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to collect risk factor information and location data associated with asthma patients and to provide information to these patients about the air quality is disclosed. A mobile two-way communication tool is used to facilitate air quality analysis based on human reactions and clustering methods. The method includes measuring predetermined physiological and dynamic parameters associated with a user, transmitting the measured predetermined parameters to an analysis tool, analyzing the measured physiological and dynamic predetermined parameters to determine advisory information associated with the measured predetermined physiological and dynamic parameters and transmitting the advisory information to the user. The measuring predetermined physiological and dynamic parameters associated with a user includes measuring physiological conditions of the user, such as respiratory function indications.
