Abstract

The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for presenting glucose level data. Glucose data for a patient may be received. A current glucose level and a rate of change of the current glucose level may be determined based on the received glucose data. A first interface may be displayed on a screen of a device. The first interface may include a unitary icon. The unitary icon may display the current glucose level and a visualization of the rate of change. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
executing, by at least one processor, an application to generate one or more alerts on a device relating to a glucose level of a patient, the executing comprising:
accessing, by the at least one processor, a current glucose level of the patient;
accessing, by the at least one processor, one or more conditions associated with the one or more alerts, the one or more conditions defining a relationship between the current glucose level and one or more threshold values;
determining, by the at least one processor, whether the one or more conditions are satisfied;
generating, by the at least one processor, the one or more alerts when the one or more conditions are satisfied, the one or more alerts being generated based on one or more of a state of the device and a state of the application,
wherein the one or more alerts comprise one or more local notifications displayed on a locked screen of the device when the device is in a locked state, the one or more local notifications displaying the current glucose level and a trend arrow representative of a magnitude of a rate of change of the current glucose level; and
re-generating, by the at least one processor and when the application is idling in a background of a screen of the device, the one or more alerts at a predetermined frequency until an acknowledgment of the one or more alerts is received or when the one or more conditions are no longer satisfied.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the state of the device comprises one or more of the locked state, an unlocked state, a muted state, and an unmuted state, and wherein the state of the application comprises an active state or an inactive state.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the application is in the active state when the application is displayed on a foreground of the screen of the device, and wherein the application is in the inactive state when the application is displayed on the background of the screen of the device.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more alerts comprise one or more non-audible alerts when the device is in the muted state, and wherein the one or more non-audible alerts comprise one or more of a vibration or a visualization displayed on the screen of the device, the visualization comprising a flashing screen or a shaded screen.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more alerts comprise one or more banners when the device is in the unlocked state and the application is in the inactive state, and wherein the one or more banners display an identifier associated with the one or more alerts for a predetermined period of time on the screen of the device.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more alerts further comprise one or more audible alerts.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more alerts comprise an urgent low alert, a low alert, a high alert, a rise rate alert, a fall rate alert, or a no data alert.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the urgent low alert is not modifiable.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
adjusting, by the at least one processor, the one or more threshold values associated with the one or more alerts during a predetermined period of time, the adjusting causing the one or more conditions associated with the one or more alerts to be satisfied more frequently than without the adjusting.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the adjusting is performed during a night mode.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of arrows comprising the trend arrow varies based on the magnitude of the rate of change of the current glucose level.

12. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory, wherein the processor and the memory are configured to perform operations comprising:
executing an application to generate one or more alerts on a device relating to a glucose level of a patient, the executing comprising:
accessing a current glucose level of the patient;
accessing one or more conditions associated with the one or more alerts, the one or more conditions defining a relationship between the current glucose level and one or more threshold values;
determining whether the one or more conditions are satisfied;
generating the one or more alerts when the one or more conditions are satisfied, the one or more alerts being generated based on one or more of a state of the device and a state of the application,
wherein the one or more alerts comprise one or more local notifications displayed on a locked screen of the device when the device is in a locked state, the one or more local notifications displaying the current glucose level and a trend arrow representative of a magnitude of a rate of change of the current glucose level; and
re-generating, when the application is idling in a background of a screen of the device, the one or more alerts at a predetermined frequency until an acknowledgment of the one or more alerts is received or when the one or more conditions are no longer satisfied.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the state of the device comprises one or more of the locked state, an unlocked state, a muted state, and an unmuted state, and wherein the state of the application comprises an active state or an inactive state.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the application is in the active state when the application is displayed on a foreground of the screen of the device, and wherein the application is in the inactive state when the application is displayed on the background of the screen of the device.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one or more alerts comprise one or more non-audible alerts when the device is in the muted state, and wherein the one or more non-audible alerts comprise one or more of a vibration or a visualization displayed on the screen of the device, the visualization comprising a flashing screen or a shaded screen.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one or more alerts comprise one or more banners when the device is in the unlocked state and the application is in the inactive state, and wherein the one or more banners display an identifier associated with the one or more alerts for a predetermined period of time on the screen of the device.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein a number of arrows comprising the trend arrow varies based on the magnitude of the rate of change of the current glucose level.

18. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more alerts comprise an urgent low alert, a low alert, a high alert, a rise rate alert, a fall rate alert, or a no data alert.
