Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing data processing and control for use in a medical communication system are provided.
Claims17
A method of determining glucose trend information, comprising:
- receiving a signal associated with a monitored glucose level from an in vivo glucose sensor;
- retrieving a predetermined number of stored signals associated with the monitored glucose level;
- and
- determining the glucose trend information including a rate of change of the monitored glucose level based on the received signal associated with the monitored glucose level and the retrieved predetermined number of stored signals not exceeding a preset error factor tolerance level such that no more than a fixed number of the stored signals are determined to be corrupt.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a data storage unit;
- and
- a data processing unit operatively coupled to the data storage unit including programming to receive a signal associated with a monitored glucose level from an in vivo glucose sensor, retrieve from a memory a predetermined number of stored signals associated with the monitored glucose level, to determine glucose trend information including a rate of change of the monitored glucose level based on the received signal and the retrieved predetermined number of stored signals, the predetermined number of stored signals not exceeding a preset error factor tolerance level such that no more than a fixed number of the stored signals are determined to be corrupt.
A method of determining glucose trend information, comprising:
- determining a glucose level by applying a scaling factor to a signal associated with a monitored glucose level and updating at least one stored value related to the monitored glucose level using the scaling factor;
- generating scaled data using the determined glucose level and the updated at least one stored value;
- and
- determining the glucose trend information based on the generated scaled data, wherein an accuracy of the glucose trend information based on the generated scaled data is greater than an accuracy of the glucose trend information based on the at least one stored value before being updated with the scaling factor.
