Abstract

The present disclosure includes a handheld processing device including medical applications for minimally and noninvasive glucose measurements. In an embodiment, the device creates a patient specific calibration using a measurement protocol of minimally invasive measurements and noninvasive measurements, eventually creating a patient specific noninvasive glucometer. Additionally, embodiments of the present disclosure provide for the processing device to execute medical applications and non-medical applications.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A local health monitoring device configured to provide a wearer measurement values of a plurality of physiological parameters of the wearer determined using absorption-derived data and repeatedly updated user-specific calibration data, the local health monitor device comprising:
a display;
at least one local processor, said local processor operably communicating with one or more noninvasive sensors configured to output sensor signals responsive to a pulse rate of the wearer based on detection of attenuated light by said noninvasive sensor, said at least one local processor receiving said output sensor signals and configured to determine first measurement values of said pulse rate using wearer-specific calibration data;
said local processor configured to operably communicate with a remote server operably communicating with remote memory, said remote memory geographically remote from said wearer, said remote memory configured to store said first measurement values of said pulse rate and other measurement values not associated with said wearer, said remote server configured process said first measurement values and said other measurement values to determine an updated wearer-specific calibration data, said updated wearer-specific calibration data responsive to at least relationships between noninvasive measurements and clinically-determined output measurements of one or more physiological parameters, said at least one local processor configured to receive said updated wearer-specific calibration data from said remote server and configured to determine second measurement values of said pulse rate using said updated wearer-specific calibration data; and
said display providing display indicia to said wearer, said indicia responsive to said first or second measurement values of said pulse rate.

2. The local health monitoring device of claim 1 , further comprising an ECG sensor.

3. The local health monitoring device of claim 1 , further comprising a temperature sensor.

4. The local health monitoring device of claim 1 , further comprising a acoustic sensor.

5. The local health monitoring device of claim 1 , further comprising a respiration sensor.

6. The local health monitoring device of claim 1 , further comprising a sleep apnea sensor.

7. The local health monitoring device of claim 1 , further comprising a depth of consciousness sensor.

8. The local health monitoring device of claim 1 , when said local processor operably communicates with said remote server to upload said first measurement values, said upload includes only deidentifying information.
