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 for enabling remote monitoring of an analyte concentration state of a host, the method comprising:
receiving, at a mobile host monitoring apparatus operably coupled to a transcutaneous analyte sensor, analyte sensor data associated with a host derived from the transcutaneous analyte sensor;
designating, at the mobile host monitoring apparatus, a mobile remote monitoring apparatus for receiving an invitation for remotely monitoring an analyte concentration state of the host, wherein the invitation enables the mobile remote monitoring apparatus to receive one or more notification messages containing information indicative of the analyte concentration state of the host generated based on the analyte sensor data;
establishing, at the mobile host monitoring apparatus, one or more rule settings associated with the analyte concentration state of the host, wherein in response to receiving an indication of an acceptance of the invitation the remote monitoring apparatus is configured to receive the one or more notification messages based on a set of rule settings initially established based on the one or more rule settings and wherein at least one rule of the set of rule settings is later modifiable by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus; and
triggering a notification message containing analyte information indicative of analyte concentration of the host to be sent to the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, wherein the notification message is provided for display at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus based on the set of rule settings including any modifications to the at least one rule of the set of rule settings by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus.

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

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising establishing a connection between the mobile remote monitoring apparatus and the server to enable receiving of the information at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus.

4. 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.

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 the information indicative of the analyte concentration of the host 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.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising registering, at a server, at least one of the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, the mobile host monitoring apparatus, or the transcutaneous analyte sensor.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the analyte concentration of the host comprises an indication of a critical event to be provided for display as a momentary message on a display at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the rules of the established one or more rules is modifiable based on a second set of rule settings at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, and wherein the second set of rule settings comprises a type of alarm and/or notification to be provided for display at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the rules of the established one or more rules is modifiable based on a second set of rule settings at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, and wherein the second set of rule settings comprises one or more thresholds associated with the analyte concentration state of the host.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein triggering the notification message comprises:
receiving an indication of receipt of the analyte sensor data associated with the host from the transcutaneous analyte sensor.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein triggering the notification message comprises:
receiving an indication of at least one of the one or more rule settings being met based on the analyte sensor data being received at the mobile host monitoring apparatus from the transcutaneous analyte sensor.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the analyte concentration of the host is derived at least in part from one or more signals generated by the transcutaneous analyte sensor.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyte sensor data is derived at least in part from one or more signals generated by the transcutaneous analyte sensor.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyte sensor data comprises data processed to generate a glucose measurement associated with the host.

19. A system for enabling remote monitoring of an analyte state of a host comprising:
a transcutaneous analyte sensor configured to monitor an analyte concentration state of the host; and
a mobile host monitoring application for execution on a mobile host monitoring apparatus communicably coupled to the transcutaneous analyte sensor, the mobile host monitoring application comprising instructions that when executed by at least one processor of the mobile host monitoring apparatus are configured to cause the processor to perform:
receiving, analyte sensor data associated with the host from the transcutaneous analyte sensor;
designating a mobile remote monitoring apparatus for receiving an invitation for remotely monitoring an analyte concentration state of the host, wherein the invitation enables the mobile remote monitoring apparatus to receive one or more notification messages containing information indicative of the analyte concentration state of the host generated based on the analyte sensor data;
establishing one or more rule settings associated with the analyte concentration state of the host, wherein in response to receiving an indication of an acceptance of the invitation the remote monitoring apparatus is configured to receive the one or more notification messages based on a set of rule settings initially established based on the one or more rule settings and wherein at least one rule of the set of rule settings is later modifiable by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus; and
triggering a notification message containing analyte information indicative of analyte concentration of the host to be sent to the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, wherein the notification message is provided for display at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus based on the set of rule settings including any modifications to the at least one rule of the set of rule settings by the mobile remote mo
