Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for remote monitoring. In some example implementations, there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at a remote monitor, a notification message representative of an event detected, by a server, from analyte sensor data obtained from a receiver monitoring an analyte state of a host; presenting, at the remote monitor, the notification message to activate the remote monitor, wherein the remote monitor is configured by the server to receive the notification message to augment the receiver monitoring of the analyte state of the host; accessing, by the remote monitor, the server, in response to the presenting of the notification message; and receiving, in response to the accessing, information including at least the analyte sensor data. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a mobile remote monitoring apparatus authorized by a mobile host monitoring apparatus, a notification message containing information indicative of an analyte concentration state of a host based on analyte sensor data obtained from a transcutaneous analyte sensor monitoring an analyte concentration state of the host, wherein the notification message is generated based on a set of rule settings initially established at the mobile host monitoring apparatus coupled to the transcutaneous analyte sensor and wherein at least one of the set of rule settings is modifiable by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus;
detecting, at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, a modification of the at least one of the set of rule settings based at least in part on user input at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus; and
providing the information indicative of the analyte concentration state of the host for display, at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, according to the modified set of rule settings, such that the information is displayed if the information meets the set of rule settings as modified by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving the notification message from at least a first wireless connection between the mobile remote monitoring apparatus and a notification service at a server.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing for display further comprises displaying the information within a remote monitoring application at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising launching the remote monitoring application.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing for display further comprises presenting the information as a momentary message on a display at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the mobile remote monitoring apparatus and the mobile host monitoring apparatus comprises one or more of a mobile station, a wireless terminal, a tablet, a smart phone, a multi-mode wireless device, and a computer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile host monitoring apparatus includes, or couples to, a gateway interfacing a wireless connection to a public land mobile network.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending, by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, a message acknowledging a receipt of the notification message.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification message includes at least one of an analyte concentration state of the host or an indication of an analyte concentration of the host as compared to one or more thresholds.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising establishing a connection between the mobile remote monitoring apparatus and a server to enable the receiving of the information.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising registering, at the server, at least one of the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, the mobile host monitoring apparatus, and the transcutaneous analyte sensor.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is implemented on an apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including code, which when executed by the at least one processor causes the apparatus to provide the method.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein a computer-readable storage medium includes code which when executed by at least one processor causes the method.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the analyte concentration state of the host is derived at least in part from a signal generated by the transcutaneous analyte sensor.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the authorization by the mobile host monitoring apparatus is generated based on an invitation triggered by the mobile host monitoring apparatus upon input of an identifier for a remote monitoring user associated with the mobile host monitoring apparatus into the mobile host monitoring apparatus.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the analyte concentration state of the host comprises an indicator representing an analyte concentration state of the host.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the analyte concentration state of the host comprises an analyte concentration value.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of rule settings established at the mobile host monitoring apparatus comprises one or more thresholds associated with the analyte concentration state of the host.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of rule settings established at the mobile host monitoring apparatus comprises indication of types of alarms and/or notifications to be provided.

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the set of rule settings modifiable by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus comprises a type of alarm and/or notification to be provided.

21. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the set of rule settings modifiable by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus comprises one or more thresholds associated with the analyte concentration state of the host.

22. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions, the executable instructions being executable by a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving, at a mobile remote monitoring apparatus authorized by a mobile host monitoring apparatus, a notification message containing information indicative of a analyte concentration state of a host based on analyte sensor data obtained from a transcutaneous analyte sensor monitoring an analyte concentration state of the host, wherein the notification message is generated based on a set of rule settings initially established at the mobile host monitoring apparatus coupled to the transcutaneous analyte sensor and wherein at least one of the set of rule settings is modifiable by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus;
detecting, at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, a modification of the at least one of the set of rule settings based at least in part on user input at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus; and
providing the information indicative of the analyte concentration state of the host for display, at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, according to the modified set of rule settings, such that the information is displayed if the information meets the set of rule settings as modified by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus.

23. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 22 , wherein the method further comprises receiving the notification message from at least a first wireless connection between the mobile remote monitoring apparatus and a notification service at a server.

24. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 22 , wherein the providing for display further comprises displaying the information within a remote monitoring application at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus.

25. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 24 , wherein the method further comprises launching the remote monitoring application.

26. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 22 , wherein the providing for display further comprises presenting the information as a momentary message on a display at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus.

27. The non-transitory computer readable medium of
