Abstract
A variety of location-based and/or proximity-based features related to diabetes management systems can be used to improve maintenance compliance and/or to provide important information to PWD designated assistance entities (e.g., family, friends, givers, HCPs, emergency medicine providers) under certain conditions. In some cases, a user's location can be tracked or determined to trigger and/or time alerts about upcoming maintenance tasks in a way that will increase the likelihood that the PWD will immediately perform the designated maintenance task. In some cases, methods, devices, and systems provided herein can use proximity to non-paired mobile computing devices to deliver data to PWD designated assistance entities.
Claims20
A diabetes management system, comprising:
- a server system;
- an insulin pump;
- and
- a mobile device, wherein the mobile device is operable to control the insulin pump and communicate with the server system via respective communication links, and further operable to:
- identify one or more preapproved mobile controller devices to the server system, wherein the one or more preapproved mobile controller devices are approved for control of the insulin pump upon loss of a communication link between the mobile device and the insulin pump;
- and
- identify the one or more preapproved mobile controller devices to the insulin pump.
An insulin pump, comprising:
- control circuitry;
- a user interface coupled to the control circuitry;
- and
- a memory device coupled to the control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry is operable to:
- control operation of the insulin pump,
- communicate via a communication link with a mobile device to provide health-related information including medical alerts, and
- receive an identification of one or more preapproved mobile controller devices, wherein the one or more preapproved mobile controller devices are approved for control of the insulin pump upon loss of the communication link with the mobile device.
