System for improved interpretation of physiological data and presentation of physiological condition management information
First Claim
1. A method of generating physiological condition information comprising:
- coupling to at least one physiological condition sensor to receive measured physiological data corresponding to a user therefrom;
storing the physiological data and user information in a memory device, the user information selected from the group consisting of physiological data thresholds, meal times, exercise times, age, weight, medication, amounts and times of medication administration, heart rate, body temperature, and food intake information;
analyzing, via a processing device comprising a rules engine, the physiological data to determine whether an event relating to the physiological data has occurred or will occur and for which the user is to be alerted, the event represented by event information that is selected for the user and that is determined via the processing device using a rules engine and a designated protocol for managing the physiological condition, the physiological data, and at least one of the user information, the event information comprising at least one of a selected data point and a selected pattern of the physiological data that indicates at least one of a rate of change in the physiological data that exceeds a designated threshold, a predicted value corresponding to the physiological data, and physiological data failing to meet designated parameters during a designated time period on each of a plurality of days; and
when the processing device determines the user is to be alerted of an event, generating, via the processing device, a presentation of physiological condition information that comprises a video, the video presenting an explanation of the event information that includes at least one of values selected from among the stored physiological data and the stored user information that contributed to the event information, and values derived from at least one of the stored physiological data and the stored user information that contributed to the event information.

Abstract
Systems, devices and methods for managing a physiological condition are configured to store predetermined output segments of content, analyze physiological data and other user information, and generate user-friendly information that provides an interpretation of the data (e.g., identifies selected data points, or determines pattern of physiological data over selected period(s)). An output segment management system with rules engine and method combines selected output segments to generate a presentation or message (e.g., with text, graphical, multimedia, video and/or audio information). The resulting presentation or message provides user information such as an explanation of selected data with selected user information incorporated therein, and optional recommendations (e.g., suggested user actions based on a designated protocol such as a clinical protocol).
