Diabetes management partner interface for wireless communication of analyte data

A system, comprising:

• one or more partner devices adapted to deliver insulin to a host;
• an analyte sensor system adapted to generate analyte information, the analyte sensor system comprising:
• a transcutaneous analyte sensor configured for implantation in the host and used to generate analyte sensor data associated with analyte concentration in the host,
• a set of configuration parameters used to transmit and receive wireless signals, wherein the set of configuration parameters is configurable by use of a diabetes management partner interface, and
• circuitry operatively coupled to a memory that stores instructions that, when executed, cause the analyte sensor system to:
• authenticate one of the one or more partner devices by exchanging authentication messages between the analyte sensor system and the one of the one or more partner devices using a wireless communication protocol, wherein the authentication messages include one or more keys for the authentication, and
• periodically exchanging maintenance messages in order to maintain authenticated communication between the analyte sensor system and the one of the one or more partner devices;
• and
• a display device connectable to the analyte sensor system and adapted to display the analyte information and to provide authorization for the analyte sensor system to provide one of the one or more partner devices with access to the set of configuration parameters via the diabetes management partner interface;
• wherein the one of the one or more partner devices is adapted to use the diabetes management partner interface to set or cause a modification to the set of configuration parameters, according to a system requirement of the one of the one or more partner devices.

A method comprising:

• providing a transcutaneous analyte sensor configured for implantation in a host;
• generating analyte sensor data associated with analyte concentration in the host using the transcutaneous analyte sensor coupled to an analyte sensor system;
• establishing a connection between a display device and the analyte sensor system;
• authenticating a partner device by exchanging authentication messages between the analyte sensor system and the partner device using a wireless communication protocol, wherein the authentication messages include one or more keys for the authentication;
• periodically exchanging maintenance messages in order to maintain authenticated communication between the analyte sensor system and the partner device;
• the display device receiving an indication that the analyte sensor system is connecting to the partner device;
• after receiving authorization to provide the partner device with access to a set of configuration parameters via a diabetes management partner interface, receiving, via the diabetes management partner interface, configuration parameters for alerts originating from the partner device;
• the display device providing a user interface to configure alerts originating from the analyte sensor system and the alerts originating from the partner device;
• and
• using input received via the user interface to cause a modification to the configuration parameters for the alerts originating from the partner device, wherein the modification is made in accordance with a system requirement of the partner device.
