Abstract: A first user device may receive, from a second user device, a request to communicatively couple to the first user device, and may establish a communication session with the second user device after receiving the request. The first user device may identify, after establishing the communication session, an inappropriate activity of the second user device relating to the communication session, and perform a set of actions based on identifying the inappropriate activity. The set of actions may include causing the communication session to be restricted, and providing, to a trust platform, a score for the second user device. The score may permit the trust platform to derive a composite score, indicative of a level of trustworthiness of the second user device, that enables other user devices, associated with the trust platform, to determine whether to grant access requests submitted by the second user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to provide guidance to a user regarding management of a physiologic condition such as diabetes. The determination may be based upon a patient glucose concentration data sensed by a glucose concentration sensor. A host state change associated with the host glucose concentration data may be determined. A guidance message based at least in part on the host state change may also be determined. The guidance message may be delivered through a user interface.

Abstract: Measurements of biometric information of a user are obtained over time, such as blood glucose measurements. These biometric measurements are typically obtained by a wearable biometric information monitoring device being worn by the user. These biometric measurements are used by various different systems, such as a computing device of the user or a biometric information monitoring platform that receives biometric measurements from multiple different users. The biometric measurements are used for various security aspects, such as one or more of part of multi-factor authentication of the user, generating security keys (e.g., connection keys, encryption keys), identifying biometric measurements associated with different user identifiers but the same use, and protecting biometric measurements so as to be retrievable only by a recipient associated with an additional computing device, and so forth.
