Abstract
Systems and methods for analyte monitoring, particularly systems and methods for monitoring and managing life of a battery in an analyte sensor system worn by a user, are provided.
Claims11
An analyte sensor system configured to be worn by a user, comprising:
- an analyte sensor;
- and
- sensor electronics circuitry electrically coupled to the analyte sensor, the sensor electronics circuitry comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless signals;
- a battery;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and to a memory, the at least one processor being configured to:
- determine that a remaining power level of the battery is below a predefined power level, and
- in response to the determination, cause a change in one or more data transmission operations of the transceiver of the sensor electronics circuitry, wherein the change comprises altering at least one transmission mode for transmitting analyte values, and wherein altering the at least one transmission mode comprises switching from periodically scheduled transmissions of analyte values to an event-based transmission of analyte values, the event-based transmission being associated with one or more analyte-related events.
