Abstract
Analyte monitoring systems, devices, and methods associated with analyte monitoring devices, and devices incorporating the same are provided. Various graphical user interfaces (GUI) and navigation flows are provided for performing various features, activities, functions, etc., associated with the analyte monitoring device or system. Intuitive navigation is provided to enhance the interpretation of analyte measurements.
Core Innovation
The invention relates to a glucose monitoring system having on body electronics configured to be worn on a user’s skin, including a glucose sensor positioned in the user’s body to detect a glucose level in bodily fluid. The on body electronics include processing circuitry, a battery, and an antenna, and are configured to transmit data indicative of the glucose level to a reader device in response to a request from the reader device.
The reader device includes a display, a wireless communication module configured to receive the glucose level data, and processors executing glucose monitoring software stored in memory. The software determines whether a glucose sensor warmup time is active and, when active, outputs the glucose sensor warmup time to the display to indicate when the glucose sensor is ready. The software also outputs a glucose sensor expiration time in a time unit based on a comparison of the glucose sensor expiration time and a predetermined threshold.
The reader device outputs a graphical user interface having a plurality of bar portions, where each bar portion represents a corresponding percentage of time that glucose level readings were within a corresponding glucose range during a predetermined time period. The reader device also outputs a logbook interface with a plurality of user-selectable options, including an insulin option, a food option, and a custom note option.
Claims Coverage
The identified independent claim covers a glucose monitoring system with requested data transmission from on body electronics to a reader device, reader-side display of sensor warmup and expiration timing, and user interfaces for time-in-range graphics and a logbook with insulin, food, and custom note options. Three inventive features are identified across the consolidated claim coverage.
On body electronics transmit glucose level data to a requested reader device
An on body electronics unit including a glucose sensor configured to detect a glucose level in bodily fluid, with processing circuitry, a battery, and an antenna, where the on body electronics transmit data indicative of the glucose level to a reader device in response to a request from the reader device.
Reader device displays sensor warmup time
A reader device with a display and glucose monitoring software that determines whether a glucose sensor warmup time is active and, if so, outputs the glucose sensor warmup time to the display to indicate when the glucose sensor is ready.
Reader device displays sensor expiration time based on a predetermined threshold
The glucose monitoring software outputs to the display a glucose sensor expiration time in a time unit based on a comparison of the glucose sensor expiration time and a predetermined threshold.
Time-in-range graphical user interface with bar portions
The glucose monitoring software outputs to the display a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of bar portions, where each bar portion represents a corresponding percentage of time a plurality of glucose level readings in a predetermined time period were within a corresponding glucose range.
Logbook interface with insulin, food, and custom note options
The glucose monitoring software outputs to the display a logbook interface comprising a plurality of user-selectable options, including an insulin option, a food option, and a custom note option.
Overall claim coverage centers on a glucose monitoring system where on body electronics transmit requested glucose data to a reader, and the reader software displays sensor warmup and expiration information and provides a time-in-range bar-portion graphical interface together with a logbook interface offering insulin, food, and custom note user-selectable options.
