  • Patent number: 11963801
    Abstract: A system and method provides a glucose report for determining glycemic risk based on an ambulatory glucose profile of glucose data over a time period, a glucose control assessment based on median and variability of glucose, and indicators of high glucose variability. Time of day periods are shown at which glucose levels can be seen. A median glucose goal and a low glucose line provide coupled with glucose variability provide a view into effects that raising or lowering the median goal would have. Likelihood of low glucose, median glucose compared to goal, and variability of glucose below median provide probabilities based on glucose data. Patterns can be seen and provide guidance for treatment.

  • Publication number: 20240122552
    Abstract: Generally, methods of analyte monitoring management, and articles of manufacturing related thereto, are provided. The methods include receiving analyte measurement data and analyzing the analyte measurement data for health related parameters. Recommendations are determined for creating or modifying a treatment program based on the analysis, and provided within a user-interface that enables a user to create or modify the treatment program. Further, generally, methods of for managing analyte measurement data, and articles of manufacturing related thereto, are provided. The methods include receiving analyte measurement data that represent data collected over a time period, and analyzing the analyte measurement data for analyte episodes within that time period. Threshold based episodes and/or rate-of-change based episodes may be determined.

  • Patent number: 11872370
    Abstract: A medical device includes an antenna external to a case, package, or encapsulant for the electronic systems of the medical device. In one embodiment, a diabetes infusion pump is enclosed within a metal case, the pump including a processor and a communication module for wireless communications. An antenna is disposed in the delivery tubing of the pump outside the case with an antenna feed interconnecting the external antenna with the internal communication module. In another aspect, a thin film antenna is formed on the outer surface of the case in which a physiological parameter sensor, such as a glucose sensor, is enclosed. Multiple antennas may be used for communications on different frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20240000348
    Abstract: A medical system comprising: an analyte sensor for receiving an analyte signal corresponding to an analyte concentration of a user; a health monitor device comprising a display unit and in communication with the analyte sensor, the health monitor device comprising a processor and memory communicably coupled to the processor, the memory including instructions stored therein that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive the analyte signal from the analyte sensor; determine the analyte concentration based on the analyte signal; calculate a recommended medication dosage based on the analyte concentration; associate a current parameter type with the recommended medication dosage; associate the current parameter type to at least one corresponding stored historical parameter type associated with a historical medication dosage; and display, on the display unit, the recommended medication dosage and the historical medication dosage.
