Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for processing, transmitting and displaying data received from an analyte sensor, such as a glucose sensor. The system may include a display device with at least one input device. In response to movement of or along the input device, the display device may change a glucose data output parameter and update an output of the display device using the changed output parameter.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for displaying healthcare information to a user using a hand-held computing device, comprising:
displaying on a touch-sensitive display of a computing device a first window comprising a plurality of charts including at least one glucose trend line and a target range, the target range comprising a lower boundary and an upper boundary, the lower boundary associated with a first glucose concentration value and the upper boundary associated with a second glucose concentration value, wherein the second glucose concentration value is greater than the first glucose concentration value, wherein the at least one glucose trend line and the target range are displayed simultaneously in the first window, wherein the trend line is indicative of a glucose level of a host over a first time period;
generating a first event indicator on the plurality of charts in response to a first user input, wherein the first event indicator is positioned on the plurality of charts proximate to the at least one glucose trend line of the plurality of charts to indicate when an insulin delivery event occurred in time;
generating a second event indicator on the plurality of charts in response to a second user input, wherein the second event indicator is positioned on the plurality of charts proximate to the at least one glucose trend line of the plurality of charts to indicate when a meal event occurred in time;
detecting on the touch-sensitive display a user selection of at least one of the first or second event indicator;
displaying on the touch-sensitive display information associated with the selected at least one of the first or second event indicator in a second window in response to detecting the user selection of the at least one of the first or second event indicator, wherein the second window is separate from the first window, wherein the second window replaces the first window; and
changing a time period of the chart from the first time period to a second, different time period in response to a third user input detected by the computing device, wherein changing the time period causes the first and second event indicators to move on the plurality of charts so that the first and second event indicators continue to indicate when the insulin delivery event and the meal event occurred in time.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying the glucose information in a first display mode on the computing device when the computing device is in a portrait orientation, or in a second display mode on the computing device when the computing device is in a landscape orientation.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third user input is indicative of a request to change the time period to one of a plurality of predetermined time periods.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user input and the second user input comprise touching a portion of at least one of the plurality of charts.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the user selection comprises detecting a user-touch of the at least one of the first or second event indicator on the display.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having one or more sequences of instructions stored therein, wherein the one or more sequences of instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
display on a touch-sensitive display of a computing device a first window comprising a plurality of charts including at least one glucose trend line and a target range, the target range comprising a lower boundary and an upper boundary, the lower boundary associated with a first glucose concentration value and the upper boundary associated with a second glucose concentration value, wherein the second glucose concentration value is greater than the first glucose concentration value, wherein the at least one glucose trend line and the target range are displayed simultaneously in the first window, wherein the trend line is indicative of a glucose level of a host over a first time period;
generate a first event indicator on the plurality of charts in response to a first user input, wherein the first event indicator is positioned on the plurality of charts proximate to the at least one glucose trend line of the plurality of charts to indicate when an insulin delivery event occurred in time;
generate a second event indicator on the plurality of charts in response to a second user input, wherein the second event indicator is positioned on the plurality of charts proximate to the at least one glucose trend line of the plurality of charts to indicate when a meal event occurred in time;
detect on the touch-sensitive display a user selection of at least one of the first or second event indicator;
display on the touch-sensitive display information associated with the selected at least one of the first or second event indicator in a second window in response to detecting the user selection of the at least one of the first or second event indicator, wherein the second window is separate from the first window, wherein the second window replaces the first window; and
change a time period of the chart from the first time period to a second, different time period in response to a third user input detected by the computing device, wherein changing the time period causes the first and second event indicators to move on the plurality of charts so that the first and second event indicators continue to indicate when the insulin delivery event and the meal event occurred in time.

7. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the one or more sequences of instructions further comprises displaying the glucose information in a first display mode on the computing device when the computing device is in a portrait orientation, or in a second display mode on the computing device when the computing device is in a landscape orientation.

8. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the third user input is indicative of a request to change the time period to one of a plurality of predetermined time periods.

9. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein detecting the user selection comprises detecting a user-touch of the at least one of the first or second event indicator on the display.

10. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the computer-readable storage medium and the processor are stored in the computing device, wherein the computing device is a mobile phone.

11. A method for displaying healthcare information to a user using a hand-held computing device, comprising:
opening an application on the hand-held computing device responsive to the computing device detecting a first user input;
displaying on a touch-sensitive display of the computing device a first window comprising a plurality of charts including at least one glucose trend line and a target range, the target range comprising a lower boundary and an upper boundary, the lower boundary associated with a first glucose concentration value and the upper boundary associated with a second glucose concentration value, wherein the second glucose concentration value is greater than the first glucose concentration value, wherein the at least one glucose trend line and the target range are displayed simultaneously in the first window, wherein the trend line is indicative of a glucose level of a host over a first time period;
generating a first event indicator on the plurality of charts in response to a second user input, wherein the first event indicator is positioned on the plurality of charts to indicate when an insulin delivery event occurred in time;
generating a second event indicator on the plurality of charts in response to a third user
