Publication number: 20240032826Abstract: The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for processing, transmitting, and displaying data received from continuous analyte sensor, such as a glucose sensor. In some embodiments, the continuous analyte sensor system comprises a sensor electronics module that includes power saving features. One feature includes a low power measurement circuit that can be switched between a measurement mode and a low power mode, in which charging circuitry continues to apply power to electrodes of a sensor during the low power mode. In addition, the sensor electronics module can be switched between in a low power storage mode higher power operational mode via a switch. The switch can include a reed switch or optical switch, for example. A validation routine can also be implemented to ensure an interrupt signal sent from the switch is valid.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Sebastian BOHM, Mark DERVAES, Eric JOHNSON, Apurv Ullas KAMATH, Shawn LARVENZ, Jacob S. LEACH, Phong LIEU, Aarthi MAHALINGAM, Tom MILLER, Paul V. NEALE, Jack PRYOR, Thomas A. PEYSER, Daiting RONG, Kenneth SAN VICENTE, Mohammad Ali SHARIATI, Peter C. SIMPSON, Matthew WIGHTLIN

Publication number: 20230414180Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting changes or fluctuations in an analyte concentration signal that are abnormal, e.g., exceed a predetermined threshold, current trend of analyte concentration measurements, etc. Signals indicative of an analyte concentration in a host may be received from an analyte sensor. The signals may be monitored, and a determination can be made as to whether there is a change in the signal. Upon detecting such a change, the change can be compensated for such that a representation of the signal indicates the analyte concentration. Optionally, the cause of the detected changes or fluctuations can also be determined and information regarding the detected changes or fluctuations can be recorded and analyzed for subsequent optimization of the systems and methods as well for transmitting alerts, notifications, etc. to a user to take corrective action.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Douglas William BURNETTE, Hari HAMPAPURAM, Apurv Ullas KAMATH, Shawn LARVENZ, Aditya MANDAPAKA, Zebediah L.
