  • Publication number: 20220378337
    Abstract: In implementations of adaptive systems for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), a computing device implements an adaptive system to receive glucose data describing user glucose values measured by a sensor of a CGM system, the sensor is inserted at an insertion site. The adaptive system accesses orientation data describing forces measured by an accelerometer of the CGM system, and the adaptive system identifies a location of the insertion site based on the orientation data. Modified glucose data is generated by modifying the user glucose values based on the location of the insertion site. The adaptive system generates an indication of the modified glucose data for display in a user interface of a display device.

  • Publication number: 20110060199
    Abstract: The use of an optical or other measurement in a blood access system enables the determination of a fluid sample appropriate for measurement on a real time basis. This information can be used to control the blood access system and related measurement processes. The determination can be based on, for example, at least one of: optical density, optical scatter, analyte level, temperature, the absolute level of any of the preceding, the stability of any of the preceding, the rate of change of any of the preceding, or the value of any of the preceding relative to another determination. The determination can be made using, for example, at least one of: electrochemical sensor, ion specific electrode, capacitance measurement, impedance measurement, inductance measurement, conductivity measurement, optical measurement, and ultrasound measurement.

  • Publication number: 20070244381
    Abstract: The present invention comprises methods and apparatuses that can provide measurement of glucose and other analytes with a variety of sensors without many of the performance-degrading problems of conventional approaches. An apparatus according to the present invention comprises a blood access system, adapted to remove blood from a body and infuse at least a portion of the removed blood back into the body. Such an apparatus also comprises an analyte sensor, mounted with the blood access system such that the analyte sensor measures the analyte in the blood that has been removed from the body by the blood access system. A method according to the present invention comprises removing blood from a body, using an analyte sensor to measure an analyte in the removed blood, and infusing at least a portion of the removed blood back into the body. The use of a non-contact sensor with a closed system creates a system will minimal infection risk.
