Intelligent wireless communications for continuous analyte monitoring

An apparatus, comprising:

• signal conditioning circuitry communicatively connected to a continuous analyte sensor for receiving sensor information from the continuous analyte sensor indicative of analyte levels of a host to which the continuous analyte sensor is operatively attached;
• a processor, upon receiving the sensor information from the signal conditioning circuitry, configured to instruct a radio to perform the following:
• transmit one or more advertising beacons to a first display device according to a type of communication, the radio switching between one-way communication and two-way communication according to an existence of an alarm condition determined by the apparatus;
• and
• upon the first display device responding to one of the one or more advertising beacons, establish a wireless communication session with the first display device and transmit the sensor information or analyte values derived from the sensor information to the first display device.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• calculating and storing estimated glucose value data based upon glucose measurements obtained by a continuous glucose monitoring sensor;
• determining one or more communication conditions including an existence of an alarm condition;
• and
• advertising, by a transceiver, to one or more display devices according to a type of communication the transceiver switching between one-way communication and two-way communication according to the existence of the alarm condition.
