Abstract: A communication station is for use with a medical device (such as an infusion pump) and a processing device (such as a computer). The communication station includes a housing, a medical device interface coupled to the housing, a processing device interface coupled to the housing and a processor coupled to the housing. The device interface interfaces with the medical device, and the processing device interface interfaces with the processing device. The processor provides a communication path between the medical device and the processing device such that programming and instructions may be communicated from the processing device to the medical device and data may be transferred from the medical device to the processing device. The communication station may be combined with a system that is capable of generating reports either locally or remotely. In addition, the medical device interface may be a cradle that is configurable to attach to different shaped medical devices.

Abstract: An infusion system with an adaptive user interface is disclosed. The infusion system is interactive with the user and adaptive to the user's needs, incrementally guiding the user to enter information or perform a desired or necessary action in the infusion system. As a result, the user is not required to remember how to navigate through a series of menu structures to enter the information or perform the action.

Abstract: A diabetes data management system (DDMS) and corresponding method assist a health-care professional in monitoring and evaluating the progress of a diabetic patient by generating various types of reports that are indicative of periodic trends in the patient's behavior, including compliance with a prescribed course of therapy. Specifically, input data, including carbohydrate, insulin, and glucose data are uploaded by the patient into the DDMS, which then generates periodic (e.g., weekly), patient-specific output data in the form of box plot graphs, bar graphs, etc. over an extended period of time (e.g., several months). By studying the trends indicated by the output data, the health-care professional can modify the patient's therapy in accordance with a set of goals for that patient.

Abstract: A color reproduction correcting system and method, and a video display device and method can reproduce original color by considering signal source and display device. Each signal source information and each display device information can be stored. The signal source and the display device, which are currently used (e.g., corrected), can be determined, for example, by a user selection. In one embodiment, the signal provided from a transmission side can be inverse gamma-corrected based on a corresponding signal source, and a colorimetric error of the inverse gamma-corrected signal is preferably corrected using corresponding signal source information and display device information. The corrected colorimetric error signal can be gamma-corrected based on a corresponding display device and then can be displayed on the corresponding display device.

Abstract: A method of calibrating glucose monitor data includes collecting the glucose monitor data over a period of time at predetermined intervals. It also includes obtaining at least two reference glucose values from a reference source that temporally correspond with the glucose monitor data obtained at the predetermined intervals. Also included is calculating the calibration characteristics using the reference glucose values and the corresponding glucose monitor data to regress the obtained glucose monitor data. And calibrating the obtained glucose monitor data using the calibration characteristics is included. In preferred embodiments, the reference source is a blood glucose meter, and the at least two reference glucose values are obtained from blood tests. In additional embodiments, the calculation of the calibration characteristics is obtained using linear regression and in particular embodiments, least squares linear regression.
