Abstract: A patient information collecting system may include a patient interface device, a patient notification device, an input device for entering patient information, and an information collecting unit having a processor programmed to activate the patient notification device at a specified time prior to occurrence of each of a plurality of scheduled events followed, for each such activation, by presenting instructions via the patient interface device to input to the information collecting unit, via the input device, information specified by the presented instructions and resulting from execution of a corresponding one of the plurality of scheduled events, the plurality of scheduled events including at least two of a scheduled patient glucose measuring event, a scheduled delivery of a diabetes therapy related drug to the patient, a scheduled meal or snack to be consumed by the patient and a scheduled physical activity to be undertaken by the patient.

Abstract: A system is provided for collecting patient information for diabetes management. The system may comprise a patient interface device, a patient notification device, an input device for entering patient information, and an information collecting unit. The information collecting unit may include a processor electrically coupled to a memory having stored therein at least one algorithm executable by the processor to activate the patient notification device followed by presenting instructions to the patient via the patient interface device to collect specified information from the patient via the input device.

Abstract: A system is provided for collecting patient information from which diabetes therapy may be determined. The system may comprise a patient interface device, a patient notification device, an input device for entering patient information, and an information collecting unit. The information collecting unit may include a processor electrically coupled to a memory having stored therein at least one algorithm executable by the processor to activate the patient notification device followed by presenting instructions to the patient via the patient interface device for collecting specified information from the patient via the input device.

Abstract: A medical appliance for use on and/or in the body of a user including a transmission unit and an activation switch connected to the transmission unit for activating the transmission unit when an activation signal is received by the activation switch. The invention encompasses systems and processes for transmitting data between a medical appliance and an external appliance, wherein, in some embodiments, the external appliance activates the medical appliance prior to data transmission when the latter is in an idle state.
