Patent number: 10410538Abstract: Provided are systems and methods using which users may learn and become familiar with the effects of various aspects of their lifestyle on their health, e.g., users may learn about how food and/or exercise affects their glucose level and other physiological parameters, as well as overall health. In some cases the user selects a program to try; in other cases, a computing environment embodying the system suggests programs to try, including on the basis of pattern recognition, i.e., by the computing environment determining how a user could improve a detected pattern in some way. In this way, users such as type II diabetics or even users who are only prediabetic or non-diabetic may learn healthy habits to benefit their health.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2016Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: DexCom, Inc.Inventors: Peter C. Simpson, Robert J. Boock, David DeRenzy, Laura J. Dunn, Matthew Lawrence Johnson, Katherine Yerre Koehler, Apurv Ullas Kamath, Andrew Attila Pal, David Price, Eli Reihman, Mark Wu

Patent number: 10278732Abstract: The present embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present embodiments provide sensor applicators and methods of use with activation that implant the sensor, withdraw the insertion needle, engage the transmitter with the housing, and disengage the applicator from the housing. Systems and methods according to present principles allow for such steps to occur without significant loss of spring force, and without deleterious effects such as seal slingshotting.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2016Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: DexCom, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Everett Schoonmaker, Phong Lieu, Kyle Neuser, Todd Andrew Newhouse, Jack Pryor, Peter C.

Publication number: 20180368771Abstract: The present embodiments relate generally to applicators of on-skin sensor assemblies for measuring an analyte in a host, as well as their method of use and manufacture. In some aspects, an applicator for applying an on-skin sensor assembly to a skin of a host is provided. The applicator includes an applicator housing, a needle carrier assembly comprising an insertion element configured to insert a sensor of the on-skin sensor assembly into the skin of the host, a holder releasably coupled to the needle carrier assembly and configured to guide the on-skin sensor assembly while coupled to the needle carrier assembly, and a drive assembly configured to drive the insertion element from a proximal starting position to a distal insertion position, and from the distal insertion position to a proximal retraction position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2018Publication date: December 27, 2018Inventors: John Michael Gray, Jennifer Blackwell, Paul V.

Publication number: 20180182491Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed provide ways for Health Care Professionals (HCPs) to be involved in initial patient system set up so that the data received is truly transformative, such that the patient not just understands what all the various numbers mean but also how the data can be used. For example, in one implementation, a CGM device is configured for use by a HCP, and includes a housing and a circuit configured to receive a signal from a transmitter coupled to an indwelling glucose sensor. A calibration module converts the received signal into clinical units. A user interface is provided that is configured to display a measured glucose concentration in the clinical units. The user interface is further configured to receive input data about a patient level, where the input data about the patient level causes the device to operate in a mode appropriate to the patient level.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2017Publication date: June 28, 2018Inventors: Scott M.
