Abstract
Embodiments that compensate for changes to sensor response characteristics (e.g., sensitivity) due to time durations are disclosed. The time durations can be the amount of time the sensor is in a post-manufacture packaged state prior to use, or the amount of time the sensor is in use. Sensor response changes due to other variables can also be compensated for.

A glucose monitoring sensor control device comprising:
- a glucose sensor configured to detect glucose levels in a bodily fluid of a user, wherein the glucose sensor is configured to be positioned in the user such that when operably positioned, a first portion of the glucose sensor is configured to reside above a skin surface of the user, and a second portion of the glucose sensor is configured to reside below the skin surface and in contact with the bodily fluid of the user;
- processing circuitry electrically and communicatively coupled with the glucose sensor prior to the glucose sensor being positioned in the user;
- and
- a memory electrically and communicatively coupled with the processing circuitry, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
- collect data indicative of environmental exposure of the glucose sensor during a duration of time before use of the sensor control device by the user;
- determine a wear duration of the glucose sensor, wherein the wear duration corresponds to a duration of time after use of the sensor control device by the user;
- collect, from the glucose sensor, sensor data including data indicative of a glucose level in the bodily fluid;
- algorithmically adjust a calibration parameter of the glucose sensor with:
- a first function including a first adjustment parameter and a value representative of the wear duration, and one or more additional functions including a second adjustment parameter and a value representative of the environmental exposure of the glucose sensor during the duration of time before use of the sensor control device by the user;
- algorithmically process the sensor data using the adjusted calibration parameter and to determine the glucose level in the bodily fluid;
- and
- transmit the determined glucose level to a reader device communicatively coupled with the sensor control device and configured to display the determined glucose level.
