  • 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.

  • Patent number: 8259176
    Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, it is possible to visually show both of information which is originally visually recognizable and information which is originally not seen that have been provided from equipment on the same image, so that it is possible to grasp the content of information and the source of providing the information corresponding to or in association with each other. Furthermore, it is possible to view information difficult to visually recognize together with visually recognizable information, and it is possible to clearly grasp, in addition to information which can be visually obtained at the place where a user currently stays, information related to the visually obtained information, from an image visually indicating the association.
