Abstract

A medical system comprising a display is presented. In response to the reception of triggering information, a subset of data is selected from a displayed or non-displayed dataset according to a data priority scheme and the displayed dataset is replaced by the display of the selected subset of data. The display of the selected subset of data uses a variety of rendering options. The triggering information is provided by the user or provided by one or more sensors. The data priority scheme is predefined or computed. It is static or dynamic. The data priority scheme can comprise a threshold which is applied for the selection or determination of the subset of data. Examples of priorities associated with data for diabetes care are provided. A range of displays can be used and combined.

First claim

We claim:

1. A portable electronic device, comprising:
at least one of a glucose sensor and an insulin pump;
a hardware display; and
a user input mechanism;
wherein the portable electronic device is configured to:
(a) receive triggering information, wherein the triggering information is one or more of input received from a user via the user input mechanism and information automatically provided by a second sensor, and the second sensor is selected from a group, or is a combination thereof, comprising: a sensor adapted to perform human face detection, a sensor adapted to evaluate the distance to a human eye, a sensor adapted to detect or analyze breath or smell, an accelerometer, a pedometer, an ambient lighting sensor, a sensor adapted to determine an ambient audio level, a sensor adapted to determine a geographic location, an electroencephalography EEG sensor, an electrocardiography ECG sensor, an electromyography EMG sensor, or a sensor adapted to determine a body temperature; and
(b) display a selected subset of data using a normal display wherein the selected subset of data represents a single information type and wherein the device is further configured to display the selected subset of data using a modified display in response to receiving the triggering information, wherein the selection of the single information type represented by the selected subset of data is based on a data priority scheme that establishes a priority rank to at least two information types selected from the group of bolus dose, basal rate, occlusion, basal temporary rate, quick bolus, date and time, and wherein the modified display for displaying the selected subset of data is modified relative to the normal display for displaying the selected subset of data by removing one or more alphanumeric characters or symbols from the normal display of the selected subset of data, or, magnifying one or more alphanumeric characters or symbols in the normal display of the selected subset of data, and wherein the modified display of the selected subset of data differs from the normal display of the selected subset of data by at least one of:
(i) using a scrolling video effect wherein the size of the selected subset of data is enlarged such that not all of the selected subset of data is displayable on the screen at once, and
(ii) sequentially displaying single digits or symbols in a full screen view such that each single digit or symbol maximally occupies available screen surface on the hardware display.

2. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein when the received triggering information is the user input received via the user input mechanism, the portable electronic device is configured to display a first type of information of the plurality of information types.

3. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein when the received triggering information is from the second sensor, the portable electronic device is configured to display a second type of information of the plurality of information types.

4. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the user input mechanism is selected from a group, or is a combination thereof, comprising: a touch sensitive surface, a physical button, a portion of a capacitive or of a resistive touchscreen, a motion sensing input sensor adapted to interpret gestures, a sensor responsive to a voice or an audio signal, or an eye-tracking sensor adapted to interpret human eye movements.

5. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the portable electronic device comprises the insulin pump and the glucose sensor.

6. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the data priority scheme is predefined.

7. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the hardware display comprises one or more of: a projector, a television, a computer, a telephone, a headed-mounted display device.

8. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the information from the glucose sensor and/or from the insulin pump is associated with diabetes data including one or more of blood glucose data, bolus dose, bolus type, basal rate, temporary basal rate, calibration reminder, occlusion probability or event, leakage probability or event, hypoglycemia probability or event, hyperglycemia probability or event, ketosis or ketoacidosis probability or event, or maintenance event or reminder.

9. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a multi-injection device.

10. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the displaying of a selected subset of data includes abbreviating a displayed unit of measure of a physiological value pertaining to the user.

11. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein when the received triggering information is from the second sensor, the portable electronic device is configured to display information related to the insulin pump.

12. The portable electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the portable electronic device is configured to change the priority rank of at least one of the information types as a function of at least one of: time of day, work status and meal intake.

13. A portable electronic device, comprising:
an insulin pump;
a hardware display; and
a user input mechanism;
wherein the portable electronic device is configured to:
(a) receive triggering information automatically provided by a sensor selected from a group, or a combination thereof, comprising: a sensor adapted to perform human face detection, a sensor adapted to evaluate the distance to a human eye, a sensor adapted to detect or analyze breath or smell, an accelerometer, a pedometer, an ambient lighting sensor, a sensor adapted to determine an ambient audio level, a sensor adapted to determine a geographic location, an electroencephalography EEG sensor, an electrocardiography ECG sensor, an electromyography EMG sensor, or a sensor adapted to determine a body temperature; and
(b) display a selected subset of data using a normal display wherein the selected subset of data represents a single information type and wherein the device is further configured to display the selected subset of data using a modified display in response to receiving the triggering information, wherein the selection of the single information type represented by the selected subset of data is based on a data priority scheme that establishes a priority rank to a plurality of information types, the information types relating to the insulin pump, and wherein the modified display for displaying the selected subset of data is modified relative to the normal display for displaying the selected subset of data by removing one or more alphanumeric characters or symbols from the normal display of the selected subset of data, or, magnifying one or more alphanumeric characters or symbols in the normal display of the selected subset of data, and wherein the modified display of the selected subset of data differs from the normal display of the selected subset of data by at least one of:
(i) using a scrolling video effect wherein the size of the selected subset of data is enlarged such that not all of the selected subset of data is displayable on the screen at once, and
(ii) sequentially displaying single digits or symbols in a full screen view such that each single digit or symbol maximally occupies available screen surface on the hardware display.

14. The portable electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the information related to the insulin pump is one or more of basal rate, date and time and bolus dose.
