Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing data processing and control for use in a medical communication system are provided.
Claims15
A method of determining glucose information, comprising:
- receiving a signal associated with a monitored glucose level from an in vivo glucose sensor;
- retrieving stored signals associated with the monitored glucose level;
- determining a number of corrupt signals of the retrieved stored signals and a number of non-corrupt signals of the retrieved stored signals;
- determining that the retrieved stored signals do not exceed a preset tolerance level such that the number of corrupt signals is not more than a predetermined number;
- determining a rate of change of the monitored glucose level based on the received signal associated with the monitored glucose level and the non-corrupt signals of the retrieved stored signals;
- and
- delivering medicament using a medical device based on the determined rate of change.
4 more elements
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 the data storage unit stored signals associated with the monitored glucose level, determine a number of corrupt signals of the retrieved stored signals and a number of non-corrupt signals of the retrieved stored signals, determine that the retrieved stored signals do not exceed a preset tolerance level such that the number of corrupt signals is not more than a predetermined number, determine a rate of change of the monitored glucose level based on the received signal associated with the monitored glucose level and the non-corrupt signals of the retrieved stored signals, and deliver medicament using a medical device based on the determined rate of change.
