Abstract
Methods and systems for providing data communication in medical systems are disclosed.
Claims18
An analyte monitoring device, comprising:
- a counter;
- and
- a data processing section coupled to the counter, the data processing section configured to increment a count stored in the counter based on a detection of an analyte sensor.
A control device for communicating with an analyte monitoring unit, comprising:
- a data communication section configured to periodically receive data including a count information related to an analyte sensor associated with the received data;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the data communication section to process the received data, the processing unit further configured to compare the count information in each data periodically received, and when it is determined that the count information of the periodically received data is different, the processing unit is configured to generate one or more signals related to the status of the analyte sensor.
A method, comprising:
- detecting an analyte sensor;
- updating a count associated with the detected analyte sensor;
- and
- transmitting the updated count.
