Abstract: A method of analyzing a blood sample is provided. The method comprises providing a glucometer configured to analyze a blood sample and a remote computing device separate from the glucometer, analyzing, by the glucometer, the blood sample, and presenting, by the glucometer, encoded results. The encoded results may be presented as a machine-readable visually-encoded representation of one or more results of the analysis, in which case the method further comprises imaging, by the remote computing device, the representation. The encoded results may be presented as a capacitive profile, in which case the method further comprises reading, by a capacitive sensing input mechanism of the remote computing device, the capacitive profile. According to either option, the method further comprises decoding, by the remote computing device, the representation, thereby retrieving at least one of the results.

Abstract: A method for measuring a glucose level of a blood sample by detecting the test medium inside a media slot of a glucometer, reading the test medium inside said media slot, analyzing a result of the reading, generating the glucose level of a blood sample disposed on the test medium, producing digital data representing the glucose level of the blood sample, encoding the digital data within an audio signal; and wirelessly and repeatedly transmitting the digital data until the test medium is removed.

Abstract: A glucometer is provided, comprising a reader configured to analyze a blood sample, a transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit data, encoded within an audio signal, regarding results of the analysis, and a controller configured to facilitate the encoding.
