Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing data processing and control for use in a medical communication system are provided.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of signals associated with a monitored analyte level detected by an in vivo sensor for a predetermined time period;
- comparing, using one or more processors, each of the plurality of the received signals to a predefined signal range;
- determining, using the one or more processors, a number of corrupt analyte values based on the comparison of the received signals to the predefined signal range;
- dynamically modifying, using the one or more processors, an uncertainty parameter associated with an analyte trend information, wherein the uncertainty parameter is dynamically modified based on the determined number of corrupt analyte values;
- and
- determining the analyte trend information based on the uncertainty parameter.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a communication unit configured to receive a plurality of signals associated with a monitored analyte level using an in vivo analyte sensor for a predetermined time period;
- and
- a data processing unit coupled to the communication unit, and configured to compare each of the plurality of the received signals to a predefined signal range, determine a number of corrupt analyte values based on the comparison of the received signals to the predefined signal range, dynamically modify an uncertainty parameter associated with an analyte trend information, wherein the uncertainty parameter is dynamically modified based on the determined number of corrupt analyte values, and determine the analyte trend information based on the uncertainty parameter.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a signal associated with a monitored analyte level from an in vivo analyte sensor;
- retrieving, using one or more processors, at least one previously stored signal associated with the monitored analyte level;
- comparing, using the one or more processors, the received signal to the retrieved at least one previously stored signal;
- determining, using the one or more processors, a number of corrupt analyte values based upon the comparison of the received signal to the retrieved at least one previously stored signal;
- dynamically modifying, using the one or more processors, an uncertainty parameter associated with a rate of change of the monitored analyte level based on the received signal and the retrieved at least one previously stored signal, the uncertainty parameter including an uncertainty value associated with the rate of change of the monitored analyte level, wherein the uncertainty parameter is dynamically modified based on the determined number of corrupt analyte values;
- comparing, using the one or more processors, the uncertainty parameter to a predetermined threshold value;
- and
- generating, using the one or more processors, an output data based on the result of the comparison.
