Abstract
Described are methods and systems to allow the use of a very simple physiological meter without a user input interface (i.e., buttonless) while maintaining the ability to store time linked measurement records for retrospective or prospective analysis of the measured physiological measurements with a bistable display to allow for a display of plural prior physiological measurements without necessitating the activation (e.g., turning on or manipulation of the user input interfaces) of the physiological meter.
Claims9
A physiological measurement device configured without any user input interface, the device comprising:
- a microprocessor coupled to a biosensor to measure at least one physiological measurement;
- a memory coupled to the microprocessor;
- a bistable display coupled to the microprocessor and controlled by the microprocessor to present plural prior physiological measurements stored in the memory when no power is provided to the bistable display, the plural prior physiological measurements including a graphical representation of such physiological measurements previously conducted over a predetermined time period.
A method of operating a physiological measurement device having a microprocessor coupled to a memory and a display, the method comprising:
- conducting a physiological measurement of a user;
- displaying the physiological measurement value after the conducting step;
- storing the physiological measurement value into the memory;
- shutting down the device;
- detecting one of:
- (a) shaking of the device subsequent to the terminating step, or (b) activation of an user input interface;
- and
- displaying at least one prior physiological measurement upon the detecting step being established.
