  • Patent number: 11854681
    Abstract: A data management unit for supporting health control, the unit including: a processor, a data input adapted to input data and/or requests and connected to the processor, a data storage connected to the processor, wherein the processor is adapted to assign a tag referring to an event chosen from a group of tags comprising the fasting tag and at least one other event tag to a new data received from the data input or a measurement unit, wherein the tag is assigned either automatically by the processor and/or via the data input, wherein the fasting tag can only be assigned to the new data if a time stamp of the new data is within a predefined fasting window, wherein the predefined fasting window is stored in the data storage.

  • Patent number: 10663452
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a data management unit for supporting health control and a corresponding medical device comprising a data storage (130) adapted to store a plurality of measurement values of a physiological parameter, for example the fasting blood glucose level, and for each measurement value an associated time stamp and a trend indicator (164), wherein the trend indicator is adapted to indicate different trend categories, for example an increasing trend, a steady trend and a decreasing trend, preferably as a respective visible sign (201,202) on a display (162) and/or as a respective audible signal by a loudspeaker, a processor (140) adapted to select a first group of measurement values and a second group of measurement values from the plurality of measurement values of the data storage (130) such that the associated time stamp of each of the measurement values of the first group is in a predefined first time interval and the associated time stamp of each of the measurement values of the second
