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 method for displaying analyte concentration data on a computing device, comprising:

receiving analyte concentration data from a sensor;

calculating a clinical value of the analyte concentration data;

activating a display of the computing device in a lock state;

displaying a first indication of the calculated clinical value on the display while the computing device is in the lock state, wherein the first indication is associated with a glucose monitoring application comprising a first glucose chart displaying a graphical representation of the analyte concentration data;

adjusting the first indication by detecting a touchscreen gesture on the display of the computing device while the computing device is in the lock state; and

displaying a second indication of the calculated clinical value without launching the glucose monitoring application, the second indication including a second glucose chart, the second glucose chart displaying a portion of the graphical representation of the first glucose chart.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the analyte concentration data is glucose concentration data.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication is the clinical glucose value.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the clinical glucose value is displayed as an icon, and wherein a color of the icon, or a color of the background, is based on the clinical glucose value or on the trend or both.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication is a trend indicator.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the trend indicator is a trend graph or a trend arrow.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the trend indicator is displayed on a background of the computing device.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein the trend indicator is displayed as an icon.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein a color of the icon is based on the clinical value or on the trend or both.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication is a color.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the color is selected from green, yellow, or red, according to increasing levels of urgency associated with the clinical value.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the color is green if the user is in euglycemia and a trend indicator indicates the user will not become hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the color is yellow if the user is in euglycemia and a trend indicator indicates the user will become hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the color is yellow if the user is in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia and a trend indicator indicates the user is trending towards euglycemia.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the color is red if the user is in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia and a trend indicator indicates the user is trending away from euglycemia.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication allows the user to observe glucose information without displaying a main user interface of the glucose monitoring application.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication allows the user to observe glucose information by activating a maximum of one button.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication is activated by a signal received from an accelerometer in the computing device.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication allows the user to observe glucose information without requiring additional display area.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein tapping the indication opens a main user interface of the continuous glucose monitoring application.

21. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication is displayed as an icon and includes the clinical value, and wherein the clinical value has a font or font formatting based on the clinical glucose value or on a trend of the clinical glucose value.
