Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for processing, transmitting and displaying data received from an analyte sensor, such as a glucose sensor. The system may include a display device with at least one input device. In response to movement of or along the input device, the display device may change a glucose data output parameter and update an output of the display device using the changed output parameter.

Claims

1. A glucose monitoring system for monitoring a host'"'"'s glucose levels, the system comprising a computing device having a touch-sensitive display, wherein the computing device is configured to:

display on the touch-sensitive display a first chart and a second chart adjacent to one another, each chart having a trend line indicative of a glucose level of a host, each chart having a y-axis in units of an analyte concentration and an x-axis in units of time, and each x-axis of the first and second charts extending different periods of time, wherein the x-axis of the first chart extends a first period of time and the x-axis of the second chart extends a second period of time, the first period of time being a sub-set of the second period of time, wherein the second chart comprises a first indication of the first time period, wherein the first indication comprises a shaded pattern under the trend line of the second chart, wherein the second chart comprises a second indication of the first time period, wherein the second indication of the first time period comprises an icon extending along the y-axis of the second chart, wherein the icon moves along the x-axis of the second chart responsive to a user changing the first time period; and

wherein the time period of the second chart changes from the second time period to a third time period when the icon moves to a certain time value of the second time period, the second time period being a sub-set of the third time period.

2. The computing device of claim 1, wherein the computing device is further configured to change the first time period in response to the computing device detecting a predefined user input.

3. The computing device of claim 2, wherein the predefined user input comprises a predefined user gesture on the user interface.

4. The computing device of claim 3, wherein the predefined user gesture comprises a tap on the display, a swipe on the display, or a selection and dragging of an icon on the display.

5. A computer-implemented method for displaying glucose levels of a host measured using a continuous glucose monitor, comprising:

displaying on a touch-sensitive display of a computing device a first chart and a second chart adjacent to the first chart, each chart having a trend line indicative of a glucose level of a host, each chart having a y-axis in units of an analyte concentration and an x-axis in units of time, and each x-axis of the first and second charts extending different periods of time, wherein the x-axis of the first chart extends a first period of time and the x-axis of the second chart extends a second period of time, the first period of time being a sub-set of the second period of time;

plotting the glucose levels of the host on the first and second charts;

displaying on the second chart a first indication of the first time period, wherein the first indication comprises a shaded pattern under the trend line of the second chart; and

displaying on the second chart a second indication of the first time period of the first chart, wherein the second indication of the first time period comprises an icon extending along the y-axis of the second chart, wherein the icon moves along the x-axis of the second chart responsive to changes to the first time period, wherein the time period of the second chart changes from the second time period to a third time period when the icon moves to a certain time value of the second time period, the second time period being a sub-set of the third time period.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising changing the first time period in response to detecting a predefined user input via a user interface of the computing device.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the predefined user input comprises a predefined user gesture on the user interface.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the predefined user gesture comprises a tap on the display, a swipe on the display, or a selection and dragging of an icon on the display.
