Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for processing analyte data. In some example implementations, a method may include receiving, at a first processing system including a user interface, an installation package including a plug-in and code configured to provide at the first processing system an interface between a sensor system configured to measure an analyte concentration level in a host and a second processing system; storing, by the first processing system, the installation package in a location based on a role of a user initiating the installation of the code; installing the plug-in for the user interface to enable the plug-in to control one or more aspects of an installation of the code; and initiating, by at least the plug-in, the installation of the code at the first processing system to provide the interface. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
retrieving, using a first processing system comprising an interface, analyte sensor data from an analyte sensor system configured to measure an analyte concentration level in a host; and
forwarding, by the interface, the received analyte sensor data as a pass-through by at least forwarding the received analyte sensor data to a second processing system coupled to the interface via a network including an internet, wherein the pass-through comprises forwarding the received analyte sensor data without storing the received analyte sensor data in a persistent storage at the first processing system comprising the interface so that the received analyte sensor data is automatically deleted from any computer memory of the first processing system after the forwarding of the received analyte data to the second processing system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first processing system further comprises a display for presenting the analyte sensor data, and wherein the first processing system couples to the sensor system via a first encrypted connection and further couples through a second encrypted connection to the second processing system, wherein the second processing system authorizes the first encrypted connection and the second encrypted connection.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interface comprises a data retriever software application that comprises a plug-in to an internet browser software application.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the retrieved analyst sensor in memory of the second processing system, the second processing system comprising a server.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting a connection of the analyte sensor system with the first processing system and automatically initiating a data retrieval application incorporated in the first processing system responsive to the detection, the data retrieval application performing the retrieving and the forwarding.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the data retrieval application programically prompts a user on a user interface of the first processing system to initiate the retrieving and the forwarding, and wherein the retrieving and forwarding are initiated when the user selects the prompt.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the data retrieval application programically initiates the retrieving and the forwarding without user interaction.

8. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including code which when executed by the at least one processor provides operations comprising:
retrieving, using a first processing system comprising an interface, analyte sensor data from an analyte sensor system configured to measure an analyte concentration level in a host; and
forwarding, by the interface, the received analyte sensor data as a pass-through by at least forwarding the received analyte sensor data to a second processing system coupled to the interface via a network including an internet, wherein the pass-through comprises forwarding the received analyte sensor data without storing the received analyte sensor data in a persistent storage at the first processing system including the interface so that the received analyte sensor data is automatically deleted from any computer memory of the first processing system after the forwarding of the received analyte data to the second processing system.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first processing system further comprises a display configured for presenting the analyte sensor data, and wherein the first processing system is configured to couple to the sensor system via a first encrypted connection and is further configured to couple through a second encrypted connection to the second processing system, wherein the second processing system authorizes the first encrypted connection and the second encrypted connection.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the code comprises an internet browser application and a plug-in to the interne browser software application that configures the internet browser application to performing the retrieving and the forwarding.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise storing the retrieving analyst sensor in memory of the second processing system, and wherein the second processing system comprise a server.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise detecting a connection of the analyte sensor system with the first processing system and automatically initiating the retrieving and the forwarding.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise programically prompting a user on a user interface of the first processing system to initiate the retrieving and the forwarding upon detecting a connection of the analyte sensor system with the first processing system, and wherein the retrieving and forwarding are initiated when the user selects the prompt.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first processing system is prevented from displaying the received analyte sensor data.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
receiving, using the first processing system, PII information of the host; and
forwarding the PII information to the second processing system without storing the received PII information in a persistent storage at the first processing system,
wherein the received PII information is encrypted with a first key, and
wherein the received analyte sensor data is encrypted with a second, different key.

16. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first processing system is prevented from displaying the received analyte sensor data.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving, using the first processing system, PII information of the host; and
forwarding the PII information to the second processing system without storing the received PII information in a persistent storage at the first processing system,
wherein the received PII information is encrypted with a first key, and
wherein the received analyte sensor data is encrypted with a second, different key.
