Abstract: A method for confirming effectiveness of therapy provided by an insulin infusion system comprising a computing device communicatively coupled to an insulin delivery pump and a blood glucose sensor, is provided.

Abstract: A system to monitor and transmit a plurality of signals based on a characteristic of a user is disclosed. The system comprises a sensor to produce the plurality of signals on a continuous basis, the signals being indicative of a glucose characteristic measured in the user when a portion of the sensor is placed in subcutaneous tissue. The system further includes a recorder including a recorder port to physically couple and interface with a sensor port of the sensor and a dock remotely located from the sensor and the recorder. The dock includes a dock receiver to physically couple and interface with the recorder port. The recorder can record the signals produced from the sensor when the recorder is coupled to the sensor and the recorder can transmit the stored signals to the dock when the recorder is removed from the sensor and coupled to the dock.

Abstract: A monitor system is disclosed. The monitor system includes a sensor with a sensor port. The monitor system further includes a recorder with a recorder port within a recording housing. The recorder port interfaces with the sensor port to receive signals from the sensor port. A recorder clock is defined within the recorder housing, with a recorder processor to store signals from the sensor. The recorder includes a data port to interface with a dock receiver. The monitor system includes a dock remotely located from the sensor and the recorder. The dock receiver couples the recorder to the dock. The monitor system further includes a data processor to analyze the sensor signals from the recorder. The data processor includes memory and a clock. Further included with the data processor are program instructions to assign the time and date of the sensor signals.

Abstract: A monitor system to monitor a characteristic of a user is disclosed. The monitor system includes a sensor to produce a signal indicative of a glucose characteristic measured in the user, the sensor further having a sensor port. The monitor system further includes a recorder within a recording housing, the recorder hosing also encompassing a batter. The recorder further includes a recorder port that interfaces with the sensor port in order to receive the produced signals from the sensor port. A recorder clock that assigns a time to the signals from the sensor is also defined within the recorder housing, as is a recorder processor that includes a recorder memory that is coupled to the recorder port to store the produced signals from the sensor. The recorder further includes a data port defined to interface with a dock receiver. A dock that is remotely located from the sensor and the recorder is also included with the monitor system.

Abstract: A sensor-augmented medication infusion system includes a sensor attached to a body of a user to detect an analyte level of the user. An infusion device is adapted to be carried by the user that includes a drive mechanism operatively coupled to a reservoir containing a fluid to infuse the fluid into the body of the user, a processor operatively coupled to the drive mechanism to control the drive mechanism, a communication receiver operatively coupled to the processor to receive data from the sensor corresponding to the analyte level of the user, and a display screen operatively coupled to the processor to display the data corresponding to the analyte level of the user, wherein the infusion device includes a user-selectable function to disable the infusion device from infusing the fluid into the body of the user while continuing to display the data corresponding to the analyte level of the user on the display screen.

Abstract: A method of providing bolus dosage recommendations for diabetics includes receiving an image of a meal to be consumed by a user. The image is analyzed to identify at least one food item in the image. A bolus dosage recommendation is calculated based on the identified at least one food item in the image.
