Abstract

A diabetes monitoring watch is shown with a computing system located in the watch, including a glucose monitoring system, a pulse rate monitor, a body temperature monitor, and an alert system. The system looks at the glucose level, the body temperature, and the heart rate and determines if the diabetic is in need of assistance. The diabetes monitoring watch also has an alert system for notification of the individual or other individuals if the person is in need.

Claims

1. A diabetes monitoring watch comprising:

a) a time piece, wherein the time piece is configured to fit on ones wrist; and

wherein said time piece has a face and a back;

b) a central processing unit, the central processing unit comprising a stored programmable memory, a random access memory, a programmable central processing unit; and

c) a glucose monitor, wherein the glucose monitor is coupled to the central processing unit;

d) a heartbeat monitor;

wherein the heartbeat monitor is coupled to the central processing unit;

e) a body temperature monitor, wherein the body temperature monitor is coupled to the central processing unit;

f) a pulse rate monitor, wherein the pulse rate monitor is coupled to the central processing unit;

g) an alert system, where the alert system is coupled to the central processing unit;

and wherein the central processing unit is configured to read the blood glucose level from the glucose monitor and store a multiplicity of blood glucose levels in random access memory; and

wherein the blood glucose level is displayed on the face of the time piece;

and wherein the central processing unit is configured to read the pulse rates from the pulse rate monitor and store a multiplicity of pulse rates in the random access memory; and

wherein the pulse rate is displayed on the face of the time piece;

and wherein the central processing unit is configured to read the body temperature from the body temperature monitor and store a multiplicity of body temperatures; and

wherein the body temperature is displayed on the face of the time piece;

and wherein the central processing system sets an alert level in the alert system as calculated from the blood glucose levels, pulse rates, and body temperatures as stored in the central processing unit.

2. A diabetes monitoring watch as in claim 1, wherein the glucose monitor reads the glucose levels using a transdermal sensor.

3. A diabetes monitoring watch as in claim 1, wherein the glucose monitor reads the glucose levels using an infrared sensor.

4. A diabetes monitoring watch as in claim 1, wherein the body temperature that is displayed on the timepiece is analog.

5. A diabetes monitoring watch as in claim 1, wherein the alert system sends a notice using vibration.

6. A diabetes monitoring watch as in claim 1, wherein the alert system sends a notice using electronic mail.

7. A diabetes monitoring watch as in claim 1, wherein the alert system sends a notice using an audible tone.

8. A diabetes monitoring watch as in claim 1, wherein the pulse rate display on the face of the time piece is analog.

9. A diabetes monitoring watch as in claim 1, wherein the body temperature display on the face of the time piece is analog.
