  • Patent number: 11185260
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods and systems for regulating a user's glucose levels. Systems comprise a processing unit in communication with a glucose monitor, an accelerometer, and a user interface. The glucose monitor generates glucose readings corresponding to the user's glucose levels and the accelerometer generates acceleration readings corresponding to the user's activity. The processing unit determines if the glucose readings indicate a glucose state and whether the acceleration readings indicate an activity state. If the glucose state and the activity state coincide, the processing unit sends a message to the user interface recommending a behavior that would influence the user's glucose level.

  • Patent number: 10471302
    Abstract: A system and method for administering an activity program. An activity goal for an activity and an activity sub-goal for the activity is established. The activity sub-goal includes an activity performance goal and an activity period, wherein the activity performance goal must be met within an amount of time equal to the activity period. The activity goal includes a repetition requirement, wherein the repetition requirement sets a minimum number of times that a measured activity must meet the activity sub-goal over a given time period. Activity is measured and a determination is made as to whether the measured activity meets the activity sub-goal. If so, a determination is made as to whether the corresponding activity goal has been met.
