System for monitoring physiological characteristics
First Claim
1. A physiological characteristic monitor, comprising:
- an input device capable of receiving a signal from a sensor, the signal being based on a sensed physiological characteristic value of a user; and
a processor for analyzing the received signal;
wherein the processor determines a dynamic behavior of the physiological characteristic value; and
provides an observable indicator based upon the dynamic behavior of the physiological characteristic value so determined.

Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for medical monitoring physiological characteristics values such as blood glucose levels for the treatment of diabetes, are presented. The apparatuses and methods provide dynamic glucose monitoring functions that perform predictive analysis to anticipate harmful conditions, such as glucose crash and hyperglycemic incidents for a patient. The dynamic functions can also be used to maximize athletic performance and warn of inadequate nocturnal basal rate. Other aspects include advanced alarm and reminder functions, as well as advanced data presentation tools to further facilitate convenient and efficient management of various physiological conditions.
