Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A computing device receives analyte data produced by an analyte monitoring sensor over a communications link from at least one first device. Health data, comprising at least part of the analyte data, may be communicated over a communications link to at least one second device in response to a request. The first device may be positioned over the analyte monitoring sensor using signal strength and location information. External analyte data may be employed to calibrate the analyte monitoring sensor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method comprising: obtaining, by an analyte monitoring device, analyte data; obtaining, by the analyte monitoring device, a plurality of information items, the plurality of information items comprising: a high analyte alarm level, a low analyte alarm level, an analyte high target level, and an analyte low target level; and, displaying, on a display device electronically coupled to the analyte monitoring device, one or more interactive graphical control elements comprising the plurality of information items and the analyte data. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein one of the one or more interactive graphical control elements comprises an analyte trend graph, the trend graph comprising a plurality of analyte levels over a first time interval, wherein the trend graph comprises one or more of a line graph, a pie chart, log book, or modal day. 3 . The method according to claim 2 , further comprising: displaying, on the display device, a single-tap electronic communication icon, wherein in response to receiving a selection of the icon, the analyte monitoring device transmits the analyte trend graph in an electronic communication. 4 . The method according to claim 2 , further comprising: receiving, by the analyte monitoring device, a command; and, in response to receiving the command, displaying on the display device a plurality of analyte levels over a second time interval different than the first time interval. 5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the command comprises one of: an entry of the second time interval or a gesture. 6 . The method according to claim 2 , further comprising: displaying an area of the trend graph below each of the plurality of analyte values as a first color when a corresponding analyte value is outside of the high analyte alarm level and low analyte alarm level, displaying the area of the trend graph below each of the plurality of analyte values as a second color when a corresponding analyte value is between the high analyte target level and the low analyte target level, and displaying the area of the trend graph below each of the plurality of analyte values as a third color when a corresponding analyte value is either between the high analyte target level and the high analyte alarm level or between the low analyte target level and the low analyte alarm level, wherein the first, second, and third colors are different colors. 7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more interactive graphical control elements further comprise one or more selectable event icons, wherein displaying the one or more interactive graphical control elements comprises, in response to a selection of one of the one or more selectable event icons, displaying, on the display device electronically coupled to the analyte monitoring device, a window with information about the selected event icon. 8 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising displaying each of the high analyte alarm level, the low analyte alarm level, the analyte high target level, and the analyte low target level in the one or more graphical control elements as a line. 9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the lines for each of the high analyte alarm level and the low analyte alarm level are a first color, and the lines for the analyte high target level and the analyte low target level are a second color different from the first color. 10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the analyte high target level and the analyte low target level are associated with a first user profile. 11 . The method according to claim 10 , further comprising: receiving, by the analyte monitoring device, a command; and, in response to receiving the command, displaying on the display the analyte target level and the analyte low target level associated with a second user profile different from the first user profile. 12 . A method comprising: obtaining, by an analyte monitoring device, a plurality of information items, the plurality of information items comprising: a high analyte alarm level, a low analyte alarm level, an analyte high target level, an analyte low target level, a current analyte level, a connection status, a trend arrow, a trend graph, and a profile; and, simultaneously displaying, on a display device electronically coupled to the analyte monitoring device, one or more interactive graphical control elements and the plurality of information items. 13 . The method according to claim 12 , further comprising: receiving, by the analyte monitoring device, a command; and, in response to receiving the command, output an auditory reading of one or more of the information items. 14 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the informational items further comprise one or more notifications, alarms, or alerts. 15 . A method comprising: obtaining, by an analyte monitoring device, a plurality of information items, the plurality of information items comprising one or more of a plurality of events; and, simultaneously displaying, on a display device electronically coupled to the analyte monitoring device, one or more interactive graphical control elements and the plurality of information items, wherein the one or more graphical control elements comprise an event log, the event log comprising the plurality of events and a selectable icon associated with each of the events. 16 . The method according to claim 15 , further comprising: receiving, by the analyte monitoring device, a selection of one of the selectable icons; and, in response to receiving the selection, displaying a window with details of an event associated with the selected icon. 17 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the selectable icon associated with each of the plurality of events comprises one or more of: a blood glucose meter test icon, a meal event icon, an insulin dosage icon, a health condition icon, an exercise event icon, and a calibration measurement icon. 18 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the one or more interactive graphical control elements comprise one or more selectable filtering options, wherein each selectable filtering option corresponds to one or more event types. 19 . The method according to claim 18 , further comprising: receiving, by the analyte monitoring device, a selection of one of the selectable filtering options; and, in response to receiving the selection, displaying in the event log only a set of events from the plurality of events that correspond to an event type associated with the selected filtering option. 20 . A method comprising: obtaining, by an analyte monitoring device, a plurality of information items, the plurality of information items comprising one or more alarms, events, and notifications; and, simultaneously displaying, on a display device electronically coupled to the analyte monitoring device, one or more interactive graphical control elements and the plurality of information items, wherein the one or more graphical control elements comprise a list, the list comprising the one or more alarms, events, and notifications and a selectable icon associated with each of the one or more alarms, events, and notifications. 21 . The method according to claim 20 , further comprising: receiving, by the analyte monitoring device, a selection of one of the selectable icons; and, in response to receiving the selection, displaying a window with one or more recommended actions associated
