Microprocessors, devices, and methods for use in monitoring of physiological analytes
First Claim
1. One or more microprocessors comprising programming to control providing a first signal related to analyte amount or concentration in a subject from a first sample comprising an analyte, wherein said first sample is obtained by use of a method that enhances transport of the analyte across a skin or mucosal surface of said subject;
- providing a second signal related to analyte amount or concentration from a second sample comprising said analyte, wherein said second sample is obtained substantially without use of a method that enhances transport of the analyte across the skin or mucosal surface of the subject, and said first signal and said second signal are obtained for substantially a same time period; and
qualifying said first signal by a method selected from the group consisting of (i) screening said first signal based on said second signal;
(ii) applying a correction algorithm to said first signal, wherein said first signal is adjusted by use of said second signal; and
(iii) combinations thereof.

Abstract
Described herein are microprocessors, devices, and methods useful for sweat and/or temperature detection that correlate more closely with changes in amperometric or charge signals related to analyte amount or concentration. The present invention provides methods for the establishment of more accurate sweat and/or temperature thresholds and new methods of compensation, such as correcting for the effects of sweat and rapidly changing temperature on measured analyte values. The present invention reduces the number of skipped or unuseable readings provided by analyte monitoring devices during periods of sweating or changing temperatures. Further, the present invention provides methods for improving the accuracy of reported readings of analyte amount or concentration. In one aspect, the present invention provides passive collection reservoir/sensing devices used in combination with active collection reservoir/sensing devices for detection of sweat and/or temperature related parameters.
