  • Publication number: 20210258565
    Abstract: A method of evaluating the suitability of a mobile device for performing an analytical measurement based on a color formation reaction. The capability of the mobile device to have relevant settings of the mobile device controlled by software running on the mobile device is evaluated. The relevant settings pertain to image raw data processing steps to be carried out by the mobile device and may include a color space transformation and a tone mapping transformation. When the evaluation indicates that the mobile device is capable of having the relevant settings controlled by the software, control information indicating that the mobile device is suitable for performing the analytical measurement is provided. When the evaluation indicates that the mobile device is not capable of having the relevant settings controlled by the software, control information indicating that the mobile device is unsuitable for performing the analytical measurement is provided.

  • Patent number: 11055386
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling user access to a medical system including a body-wearable medical device that can be, e.g., an insulin pump and/or a continuous glucose monitor. A remote controller is provided and has a user interface and can exchange data with the medical device. The remote controller is configured for entering, via the user interface, at least one command for execution by the medical device. The remote controller has a locked state in which entering medical device commands or other commands is disabled. In the locked state, the user is prompted to enter an identification code and the remote controller can be unlocked when the correct identification code is entered. In the unlocked state, entering of the medical device command is enabled. Alternatively, instead of entering a correct identification code, the remote controller can be switched to the unlocked state when a safety condition is met.

  • Publication number: 20210131973
    Abstract: A method for detecting an analyte in a sample is disclosed. The method includes providing a mobile device having a camera and an illumination source. A test strip having a test field with at least one test chemical for performing an optical detection reaction in the presence of the analyte is provided. The sample is applied to the test field. Several images of a region of the test strip are captured. The region includes at least part of the test field to which sample is applied. The images are captured before and after the sample is applied and with the illumination source turned on and off. The images captured are compared and differences in light intensities are determined. Analyte concentration is determined using the images captured and the determined light intensities.

  • Patent number: 10342923
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control system for controlling a medical system. The control system comprising: a portable device, a transmitter placed in a location of a local use environment of the portable device, and a data handling system comprising a detection module, a data interface, and a device controller functionally connected to the detection module and the data interface. The data handling system is configured to detect local vicinity of the portable device to the at least one transmitter by the detection module, receive input data from the at least one transmitter via the data interface, generate device control data for a medical device, comprising processing of the input data, and transmitting the device control data to a control device. Furthermore, a portable device, a method for controlling a medical system, and a computer program product for controlling a medical system by a control system are disclosed.
