  • Publication number: 20230115793
    Abstract: System for managing a patient's glucose level including a glucose sensor to generate raw data signals for measurements of the patient's glucose level. The system further includes sensor electronics operatively coupled to the glucose sensor. The sensor electronics have a memory storing one or more predetermined characteristics associated with the sensor electronics. The sensor electronics are in electronic communication with the glucose sensor. The system further includes a receiving device and external devices, wherein the external devices include a first disposable device and a second disposable device. Each external device is configured for wireless communication with both the receiving device and the sensor electronics. The system enables the transfer of sensor context information from the first disposable device to the second disposable device.

  • Publication number: 20230027588
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein include a sensor control device configured for secure over-the-air (OTA) programming. Embodiments include a sensor control device that includes one or more processors, an analyte sensor, a communication module, and a memory. The memory includes a first set of storage blocks that are in a non-programmable state and a second set of blocks that are in a programmable state. The processors are configured to receive, using the communication module, instructions to write marking data to the memory to mark a first storage block from the first set of storage blocks as inaccessible and to write program data to a second storage block from the second set of storage blocks, causing the second storage block to be placed into the non-programmable state. The program data written to the second storage block includes instructions that cause the processors to process analyte data received from the analyte sensor.

  • Publication number: 20220202290
    Abstract: A medical sensor includes an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), medical hardware, and a communication module. The ASIC is communicatively coupled to the medical hardware and communication module. The ASIC is configured to receive measurement signals from the medical hardware and provide the measurement signals to the communication module. The communication module is configured to process the measurement signal into measurement results and transmit the measurement results to a remove device. The communication module includes an application layer for processing the measurement signals and a link layer for transmitting the measurement results. The ASIC is configured to detect that a voltage supplied to the ASIC is below a threshold level and determine an amount of time that the voltage has been below the threshold level. The ASIC is further configured to respond to the voltage supplied to the ASIC being below a threshold level based on the determined amount of time.

  • Publication number: 20220070666
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for secured communication between a medical sensor and a computing device includes receiving, by the medical sensor, an authentication request from the computing device. The method includes generating, based on values provided in the authentication request, a challenge-response message for the computing device. The method includes receiving, from the computing device, a responsive challenge-response message. The method includes verifying that the responsive challenge-response message includes an expected value and corresponds to an expected format. The method includes, in response to verifying the responsive challenge-response message, sending a sensor secret value to the computing device.
