  • Publication number: 20160198987
    Abstract: A measurement device and a system for measuring and presenting data which relates to human health are especially applicable for e.g. monitoring and care of diabetes disease. The purpose is to present clearly and in motivating manner a blood glucose concentration on a displ ay device. In a preferred embodiment, the measurement and monitoring device further includes elements for performing an action in order to present the measured blood glucose concentration result to the user, wherein the action includes coupling of a character expression with a color, a sound and a numerical value.

  • Publication number: 20150083590
    Abstract: A device assembly for measuring and monitoring glucose content of blood, and a cover of such an assembly. The assembly is especially applicable for users with diabetes disease. The assembly includes a resilient cover on a measurement device. The cover has a slit at the input for a blood sample strip. The slit is closed at its rest position, but a test strip can be entered through the slit based on the resilience of the cover material. The resilient cover absorbs possible mechanical impacts and prevents impurities from reaching the sensor electronics.

  • Publication number: 20140311227
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for measuring and monitoring glucose content of blood. The invention is especially applicable for users with diabetes disease. In a device of the present invention sample input aperture (24) can be blocked when it is not in use. The blocking can be implemented with a sliding cover (21), which blocks either the input for the sample strip (24) or the connection for a data cable (11). It is possible to prevent impurities accessing the sensor of the measurement unit (14), and obtain required electrical isolation when a data cable is connected to the electrical connection (11). In addition to measurement functions, the device may have functionalities for monitoring diet or even for playing games.

  • Publication number: 20130331659
    Abstract: The object of the invention is a user interface for a device and a system for measuring and monitoring information which relates to diabetes care. The purpose of the invention is to facilitate and motivate a user to perform activities that are required in the care. In a preferred embodiment of the invention user specific information is stored in the measurement device with a user interface, such as a menu-based graphical user interface. The user may input performed activities through the user interface, and to store user's own figurative or sound data to be used by the user interface. The user interface may provide automatically suggestions for a user regarding the input.

  • Publication number: 20130324823
    Abstract: The object of the invention is a measurement device and a system for measuring and monitoring information which relates to diabetes care. The purpose of the invention is to motivate a user to perform activities that are required in the care. In a preferred embodiment of the invention a performance levels are determined and the level of a user is based on the activities and/or measurement results of the user. Upon increase in the user's level the user is awarded with e.g. new reminder figure in the device. The motivation of a user to follow care activities is thus increased.

  • Publication number: 20110263331
    Abstract: A device, system and method for measuring physical activity, especially applicable for monitoring and inspiring physical exercise of e.g. children and adolescents. The prior art devices appear to lack the inspiring effect especially when children and adolescents are concerned. The object is achieved with a solution in which a portable exercise measurement device of a user has elements for transferring data with another measurement device and/or with a location indicating device and/or with another mobile device. The data transfer is based on short range communication, such as Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC) or Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) technology. The device facilitates interactive playing which includes physical exercise.

  • Publication number: 20100152548
    Abstract: A user portable measurement device (100) includes a measurement unit (174) for measuring and monitoring human health information, a user interface (175) for presenting information based on a measurement result, elements for storing information relating to the care of the user (173), and elements for forming activity instructions on the basis of the care information and at least one measurement result. The user interface (175) of the measurement device (100) preferably includes a display for presenting characters and/or symbols and elements for forming a tone and/or speech. The device is especially suitable for e.g. monitoring and care of overweight and diabetes. A system having many user devices and a server for acquisition and storage of the measurement data is also described. The server may further be used to provide an access to game or chat program services to motivate or help individual users of the measurement devices.
