Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing data processing and control for use in a medical communication system are provided.
Claims27
A computer-implemented method to determine a composite sensitivity of an in vivo analyte sensor, comprising:
- receiving, at one or more processors, a calibration parameter to calibrate the in vivo analyte sensor;
- determining, using the one or more processors, a sensitivity value associated with the received calibration parameter;
- retrieving, using the one or more processors, a prior sensitivity value associated with the in vivo analyte sensor;
- comparing, using the one or more processors, the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value;
- determining, using the one or more processors, if the comparison of the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value is within a predetermined range;
- and
- determining, using the one or more processors, a composite sensitivity for the in vivo analyte sensor based on one or more of the received calibration parameter, the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value, if the comparison of the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value is within the predetermined range.
4 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- an interface unit to receive one or more signals associated with a continuously monitored analyte level and a blood glucose value;
- a processing unit coupled to the interface unit;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processing unit for storing instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, causes the processing unit to determine a sensitivity value associated with a received blood glucose value, to retrieve a prior sensitivity value associated with an in vivo analyte sensor, to compare the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value, to determine if the comparison of the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value is within a predetermined range, and to determine a composite sensitivity based on the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value, if the comparison of the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value is within the predetermined range.
1 more element
A glucose monitoring system, comprising:
- a transcutaneously positionable in vivo analyte sensor for monitoring an analyte level;
- an analyte monitoring device coupled to the in vivo analyte sensor for receiving signals from the in vivo analyte sensor associated with the monitored analyte level;
- and
- a data processing unit coupled to the analyte monitoring device, the data processing unit storing instructions which, when executed by the data processing unit, causes the data processing unit to determine a sensitivity value associated with a received blood glucose value, to retrieve a prior sensitivity value associated with the in vivo analyte sensor, to compare the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value, to determine if the comparison of the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value is within a predetermined range, and to determine a composite sensitivity based on the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value, if the comparison of the determined sensitivity value and the retrieved prior sensitivity value is within the predetermined range.
