System and method for automated optical analyte measurements via wearable smart devices

A system for measurement of an analyte comprising:

• a wearable electronic device and a remote device, the wearable electronic device comprising:
• a camera configured to generate a video stream and at least one image having optically measurable properties;
• a first communication transceiver configured to transmit and receive communications to and from a second communication transceiver at the remote device;
• a head-up display (HUD);
• a first memory configured to store program instructions;
• and
• a first processor operatively connected to the first communication transceiver, the camera, and the first memory, the first processor being configured to execute the program instructions;
• the remote device further comprising:
• a second memory configured to store program instructions;
• and
• a second processor operatively connected to the second transceiver and the second memory, the second transceiver configured to transmit and receive communications to and from the first communication transceiver;
• the wearable electronic device and the remote device being operatively connected to each other, wherein the first processor and second processor cooperate to execute the program instructions, wherein the program instructions are configured to operate the system to perform an analyte testing operation on a bodily fluid sample, said operation comprising:
• removing a test strip from a vial by a user;
• producing a bodily fluid sample;
• applying the bodily fluid sample to a deposit site of the test strip;
• activating a timer in response to confirmation of the application of the bodily fluid sample;
• after a minimum period of time and before a maximum period of time from the activation of the timer, generating via the camera at least one image of the test strip including at least a portion of a measurement site, the at least one image being captured after guidance to the user via the HUD for positioning the test strip a predetermined distance and angular orientation relative to the camera;
• analyzing optical properties of at least a portion of the measurement site within the image to determine a level of an analyte;
• and
• displaying the level of the analyte on the HUD.
