Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for remote monitoring. In some example implementations, there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at a remote monitor, a notification message representative of an event detected, by a server, from analyte sensor data obtained from a receiver monitoring an analyte state of a host; presenting, at the remote monitor, the notification message to activate the remote monitor, wherein the remote monitor is configured by the server to receive the notification message to augment the receiver monitoring of the analyte state of the host; accessing, by the remote monitor, the server, in response to the presenting of the notification message; and receiving, in response to the accessing, information including at least the analyte sensor data. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a wireless mobile remote monitor, an alert notification message from a server system, the alert notification message representative of a detected event, the event being based on analyte concentration sensor data obtained from a receiver monitoring an analyte state of a host, the analyte concentration sensor data indicating a concentration of an analyte of the host, the wireless mobile remote monitor being remote to the host and the server system;
presenting, at the wireless mobile remote monitor, the alert notification message, wherein the wireless mobile remote monitor or a user of the wireless mobile remote monitor is specifically authorized by the host to receive the alert notification message to augment the receiver monitoring of the analyte state of the host, wherein the wireless mobile remote monitor or the user of the wireless mobile remote monitor is authenticated by the server system;
receiving, at the wireless mobile remote monitor, user input indicative of acknowledgment of the presented alert notification message;
sending an acknowledgment message from the wireless mobile remote monitor to the server system indicating acknowledgement of the presented alert notification message to enable the server system to confirm that the alert notification message has been received;
after sending the acknowledgment accessing, by the wireless mobile remote monitor, at least some of the analyte concentration sensor data from the server system; and
receiving, in response to the accessing, information the at least some of the analyte concentration sensor data including historical data, the at least some of the analyte concentration sensor data being generated by the receiver monitoring the analyte state of the host;
wherein the event is detected by the server system based on one or more sets of recommended alert rules settings configured by the host using the receiver, at least one of the sets of recommended alert rules settings being modifiable by the user of the wireless mobile remote monitor using the wireless mobile remote monitor.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the presenting further comprises inhibiting access to one or more applications at the wireless mobile remote monitor until an action at the wireless mobile remote monitor is detected to indicate an interaction by the user with the alert notification message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the presenting further comprises presenting the alert notification message as a momentary message on a display at the wireless mobile remote monitor.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the wireless mobile remote monitor and the receiver comprise one or more of a mobile station, a wireless terminal, a tablet, a smart phone, a multi-mode wireless device, and a computer.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the server system comprises at least one processor configured to receive analyte sensor data from the receiver, process the analyte sensor data to detect the event, and forward, when the event is detected, the alert notification message to the wireless mobile remote monitor based on one or more rules mapping the event to the wireless mobile remote monitor designated to receive alert messages related to the detected event.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting, based on a first set of rules at the server system, the event, wherein the first set of rules used to generate the alert notification message are different from a second set of rules used to generate alerts to be sent to the receiver coupled to a sensor system at the host.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiver includes, or couples to, a gateway interfacing a wireless connection to a public land mobile network and the server system.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising configuring a plurality of remote monitors, wherein at least one of the plurality of remote monitors is designated as a primary monitor that is assigned a higher alert priority status, and at least one of the plurality of remote monitors is designated as a secondary monitor that is assigned a lower alert priority status than the primary monitor.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring, by the wireless mobile remote monitor, at least one rule including a trigger that when triggered causes an alert to be sent by the server system to the receiver.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring, by the wireless mobile remote monitor, one or more invitations sent to one or more devices to invite the one or more devices to receive future alerts of the host based on at least some of the analyte concentration sensor data from the receiver.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending, to the server system, a message acknowledging a receipt of the alert notification message.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alert notification message includes at least one of an indication to the user of a need to calibrate a sensor coupled to the receiver and an acknowledgement message indicating at least one of an action or an acknowledgement sent by the receiver in response to an alarm sent to the receiver.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the presenting the alert notification message comprises opening a monitoring application on the wireless mobile remote monitor, and the monitoring application initiating the accessing the at least some of the analyte concentration sensor data from the server system.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising registering, at the server system, at least one of the wireless mobile remote monitor, the receiver, and an analyte sensor coupled to the receiver, wherein the registration includes a code provided by a health care provider.

15. A method comprising:
providing, by a wireless mobile remote monitor to a server system, one or more sets of alert rules including at least one analyte concentration level threshold, the one or more sets of rules being specifically associated with the wireless mobile remote monitor and a host, wherein the wireless mobile remote monitor or a user of the wireless mobile remote monitor is specifically authorized by the host to receive an alert notification message, wherein the wireless mobile remote monitor or the user of the wireless mobile remote monitor is authenticated by the server system;
receiving, at the wireless mobile remote monitor, an alert notification message from the server system, the alert notification message indicating that analyte concentration sensor data associated with the host has exceeded or fallen below the at least one analyte concentration level threshold, the analyte concentration sensor data being received by the server system from a receiver monitoring an analyte concentration state of the host, the wireless mobile remote monitor being remote to the host and the server system;
presenting, at the wireless mobile remote monitor, the alert notification message;
receiving, at the wireless mobile remote monitor, user input indicative of acknowledgment of the presented alert notification message;
sending an acknowledgment message from the wireless mobile remote monitor to the server system indicating acknowledgement of the presented alert notification message to enable the server system to confirm that the alert notification message has been received;
accessing, by the wireless mobile remote monitor, the server system using a remote monitoring software application running on the wireless mobile remote monitor; and
receiving from the server system, at the wireless mobile remote monitor, information including at least some of the anal
