Abstract

A device for determining glucose levels in a patient having a CPU for receipt and analysis of data; a glucose tester means for testing the amount of glucose in the patient at the point of the test, providing the same information to the CPU, and the CPU for determining the amount; a database for storing glucose data linked to the patient; a display for displaying glucose levels and interfacing with the patient; and a voice processor for processing the glucose level and synthesizing an auditory output that conforms with the glucose level and includes further instructions as determined by a physician and the CPU after analysis of the amount of glucose. The device further provides for data acquisition via the voice processing and/or keyboard for acquiring the following data concurrently with the glucose level then tested: (1) dietary consumption; (2) exercise; (3) medical information (size, BMI, other conditions, other medications, etc.); (4) comments and instructions. The digital storage links the information per patient for later data retrieval. The device has an input/output to the physician. The physician'"'"'s instructions are provided and output via the voice processor and/or a visual display.

Claims

1. An “

all in one”

integrated device for determining glucose levels in a patient comprising;

(a) a CPU for receipt and analysis of data;

(b) glucose testing means for testing the amount of glucose in the patient at the point of the test, providing that test data to the CPU, and the CPU for determining a level of glucose;

(c) visual display means for displaying glucose levels and interfacing with the patient;

(d) voice processing means for processing the glucose level and synthesizing an auditory output that conforms with the glucose level, wherein said voice processing means is bidirectional and receives additional data from the patient and via a keypad concurrently with the glucose level then tested, including;

(1) dietary consumption;

(2) exercise;

(3) medical information (size, BMI, other conditions, other medications); and

(4) comments;

(e) storage means for storing said test data, said glucose level and said additional data linked to the patient for later retrieval; and

(f) input/output means for transmitting said test data, said glucose level and said additional data to a treating physician and receiving further instructions as determined by the treating physician after the determination of said glucose level.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the further instructions are provided to the patient by output via said voice processing means.
