Patent number: 11450421Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Dexcom, Inc.Inventors: Anna Leigh Davis, Scott M.

Patent number: 11426102Abstract: Diabetes prediction using glucose measurements and machine learning is described. In one or more implementations, the observation analysis platform includes a machine learning model trained using historical glucose measurements and historical outcome data of a user population to predict a diabetes classification for an individual user. The historical glucose measurements of the user population may be provided by glucose monitoring devices worn by users of the user population, while the historical outcome data includes one or more diagnostic measurements obtained from sources independent of the glucose monitoring devices. Once trained, the machine learning model predicts a diabetes classification for a user based on glucose measurements collected by a wearable glucose monitoring device during an observation period spanning multiple days. The predicted diabetes classification may then be output, such as by generating one or more notifications or user interfaces based on the classification.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: DexCom, Inc.Inventors: Spencer Frank, David Price, Chuck Stroyeck, Kazanna Calais Hames
