Adaptive interface for continuous monitoring devices

Abstract

Systems and methods that continuously adapt aspects of a continuous monitoring device based on collected information to provide an individually tailored configuration are described. The adaptations may include adapting the user interface, the alerting, the motivational messages, the training, and the like. Such adaptation can allow a patient to more readily identify and understand the information provided by / via the device.

Description

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Any and all priority claims identified in the Application Data Sheet, or any correction thereto, are hereby incorporated by reference under 37 CFR 1.57. This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 14 / 525,622, filed Oct. 28, 2014, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 898,300, filed Oct. 31, 2013. Each of the aforementioned applications is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, and each is hereby expressly made a part of this specification.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present development relates generally to medical devices such as a continuous glucose sensor, including systems and methods for adaptive interface processing of sensor data.BACKGROUND[0003]Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which the pancreas cannot create sufficient insulin (Type I or insulin dependent) and / or in which insulin is not effective (Type 2 or non-insulin dependent). In the diabetic state, the ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is for a system that adjusts based on collected information to provide a customized configuration for healthcare assistance in managing chronic diseases in an outpatient setting. This allows patients to better understand and interact with the device, improving their healthcare experience. The adjustments can include adapting the user interface, notifications, and training materials. The technical effect of the patent is to improve the adoption of healthcare assistance devices by making them more user-friendly and adaptable to individual needs.

Problems solved by technology

In the diabetic state, the victim suffers from high glucose, which may cause an array of physiological derangements (for example, kidney failure, skin ulcers, or bleeding into the vitreous of the eye) associated with the deterioration of small blood vessels.

Due to the lack of comfort and convenience associated with finger pricks, a person with diabetes normally only measures his or her glucose levels two to four times per day.

Unfortunately, time intervals between measurements can be spread far enough apart that the person with diabetes finds out too late of a hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic condition, sometimes incurring dangerous side effects.

It is not only unlikely that a person with diabetes will take a timely SMBG value, it is also likely that he or she will not know if his or her blood glucose value is going up (higher) or down (lower) based on conventional methods.

Unfortunately, wide spread adoption of continuous analyte sensors has been hindered because of the “one size fits all” approach to system designs thus far.
