Patent number: 12042274Abstract: A sensor device for detecting at least one analyte in a body fluid of a user. The sensor device includes an evaluation device for evaluating a data stream of time-dependent concentrations c of the analyte. The evaluation device includes a comparator device for comparing a current value c(t) of the concentration c with a first threshold value L and a second threshold value H, wherein H>L. The evaluation device defines a tolerance time interval. Further, the evaluation device, by using the comparator device, is configured to detect if the concentration c rises and exceeds the first threshold value L during the tolerance time interval and to prepare a warning signal W accordingly. The evaluation device is configured to suppress an output of the warning signal W at least until the tolerance time interval expires, under the precondition that c(t)<H during the tolerance time interval.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Christian Ringemann, Bernd Steiger

Patent number: 11189373Abstract: A handheld display device for processing continuous sensor data has a communication interface, a graphical user interface having a gesture recognition component, a processor and a memory. The processor continuously receives time dependent sensor data, carbohydrate data, event data, and insulin data. The event data is indicative of a physical state of the subject. The processor determines a sensor data scaling factor, a carbohydrate data scaling factor and an insulin data scaling factor. The processor controls the graphical user interface to render a plot having single time, analyte concentration, carbohydrate amount, and insulin delivery amount axes. The analyte concentration axis is rendered on a first side of the plot and carbohydrate amount and insulin delivery amount axes are rendered on an opposite side of the plot, according to the scaling factors. The graphical user interface can be controlled with single and/or double finger gestures to magnify, shrink or shift axes.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Wilfried Schmidt, Bernd Steiger
