Abstract: A portable handheld medical diagnostic device includes a front housing and a rear housing opposite the front housing. The front housing and the rear housing form a protective enclosure. A main circuit board is located in the protective enclosure. The main circuit board includes a controller facilitating a physiologic measurement. A display device is connected to the main circuit board that displays information related to the physiologic measurement. A frame is located in the protective enclosure that carries the display device and locates the display device adjacent the front housing such that the display device can be viewed from outside the protective enclosure. The frame includes a strip port formed integrally therewith that is accessible from outside the protective enclosure.

Abstract: Persons with diabetes often carry a handheld glucose meter as well as a portable computing device, such as a mobile phone. Given the close proximity of these two devices, the portable computing device can serve as a data collector for the glucose measures taken by the glucose meter. Improved techniques are set forth for transferring glucose measures automatically and seamlessly to the patient's portable computing device, including displaying a value for the glucose measure along with an identifier for the portable computing device on a display of the glucose meter during the data exchange with the portable computing device.

Abstract: A blood glucose monitoring system with a graphical user interface (GUI) and methods of controlling the system and performing episodic blood glucose testing using the GUI are disclosed. The system can comprise the GUI, an output display for displaying the GUI, user interfaces, a memory and a processor. An episodic blood glucose testing protocol can be programmed into the processor using the user interfaces and automatically saved into memory. A user can be alerted to test blood glucose levels based on the inputted testing protocol by the display of an alert icon on the GUI. Blood glucose level results can be received, displayed on the GUI along with a range icon and automatically saved into memory. Statistics of the saved blood glucose results can be calculated by the processor and saved into memory. The statistics can be retrieved for display on the GUI when prompted by the user.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a display device of an electronic device. A data field may be displayed on the display device. An editing process may be executed that provides for editing of the data field displayed on the display device. The data field on the display device may be magnified relative to other portions of the display device when selected for editing according to the editing process.
