## 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.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
measuring, by a sensor electronics module, a glucose level of a patient;
executing, by at least one processor, an application on a first device for monitoring the glucose level of the patient, the first device in communication with the sensor electronics module;
determining, by the at least one processor, whether the application on the first device has stopped execution; and
generating, by the at least one processor, a notification based on the determining, the notification indicating that the application has stopped execution and a duration of time since data indicating the glucose level was last received by the application,
wherein the application has stopped executing upon detection of insufficient connectivity between the first device and the sensor electronics module.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the notification is locally generated on the first device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, further comprising:
sending one or more notifications to one or more remote monitors of the patient that the application has stopped execution.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
activating the application upon receiving a communication from a third device, the communication associated with an operation of the application.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the first device and the third device are paired using a Bluetooth connection.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the application is configured to:
set an alarm on the first device, the alarm configured to be activated at a predetermined time; and
reset the alarm on the first device before the alarm is activated by extending the predetermined time.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the determining whether the application has stopped execution is based on an activation of the alarm.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the notification is generated upon receiving a message indicating that the application has failed to communicate with a second device during a predetermined period of time.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the determining comprises determining whether a battery of the first device has sufficient power to continue operation of the first device during a predetermined period of time.

### Claim 10

A system comprising:
a processor;
a sensor electronics module configured to measure a glucose level of a patient; and
a memory, wherein the processor and the memory are configured to perform operations comprising:
executing an application on a first device for monitoring the glucose level of the patient, the first device in communication with the sensor electronics module;
determining whether the application on the first device has stopped execution; and
generating a notification based on the determining, the notification indicating that the application has stopped execution and a duration of time since data indicating the glucose level was last received by the application,
wherein the application has stopped executing upon detection of insufficient connectivity between the first device and the sensor electronics module.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The system of claim 10, wherein the notification is locally generated on the first device.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The system of claim 11, the operations further comprising:
sending one or more notifications to one or more remote monitors of the patient that the application has stopped execution.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The system of claim 10, the operations further comprising:
activating the application upon receiving a communication from a third device, the communication associated with an operation of the application.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, wherein the first device and the third device are paired using a Bluetooth connection.

### Claim 15 (depends on 10)

The system of claim 10, wherein the application is configured to:
set an alarm on the first device, the alarm configured to be activated at a predetermined time; and
reset the alarm on the first device before the alarm is activated by extending the predetermined time.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The system of claim 15, wherein the determining whether the application has stopped execution is based on an activation of the alarm.

### Claim 17 (depends on 10)

The system of claim 10, wherein the notification is generated upon receiving a message indicating that the application has failed to communicate with a second device during a predetermined period of time.

### Claim 18 (depends on 10)

The system of claim 10, wherein the determining comprises determining whether a battery of the first device has sufficient power to continue operation of the first device during a predetermined period of time.
