Publication number: 20120265036Abstract: Systems and methods for processing sensor data and self-calibration are provided. In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided which are capable of calibrating a continuous analyte sensor based on an initial sensitivity, and then continuously performing self-calibration without using, or with reduced use of, reference measurements. In certain embodiments, a sensitivity of the analyte sensor is determined by applying an estimative algorithm that is a function of certain parameters. Also described herein are systems and methods for determining a property of an analyte sensor using a stimulus signal. The sensor property can be used to compensate sensor data for sensitivity drift, or determine another property associated with the sensor, such as temperature, sensor membrane damage, moisture ingress in sensor electronics, and scaling factors.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2012Publication date: October 18, 2012Applicant: DexCom, Inc.Inventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 8282549Abstract: A second numerical value 246 is shown, which is representative of a variation of the measured analyte value 242. The second numerical value is preferably determined from a variation analysis based on statistical, clinical, or physiological parameters, such as described in more detail elsewhere herein. In one embodiment, the second numerical value 246 is determined based on clinical risk (for example, weighted for the greatest possible clinical risk to a patient). In another embodiment, the second numerical representation 246 is an estimated analyte value extrapolated to compensate for a time lag, such as described in more detail elsewhere herein. In some alternative embodiments, the receiver displays a range of numerical analyte values that best represents the host's estimated analyte value (for example, +/?10%). In some embodiments, the range is weighted based on clinical risk to the patient.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2004Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: DexCom, Inc.Inventors: James H.
