SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COLLECTING PATIENT INFORMATION FROM WHICH DIABETES THERAPY MAY BE DETERMINED
First Claim
1. A system for collecting patient information from which diabetes therapy may be determined, the system comprising:
- a patient interface device,an input device for entering patient information, andan information collecting unit including a processor electrically coupled to a memory having stored therein at least one algorithm executable by the processor to present instructions to the patient via the patient interface device for collecting the patient information, including information relating to timing and carbohydrate amount of food consumed by the patient, a diabetes therapy related drug received by the patient and physical state of the patient, from the patient via the input device.

Abstract
A system is provided for collecting patient information from which diabetes therapy may be determined. The system may comprise a patient interface device, a patient notification device, an input device for entering patient information, and an information collecting unit. The information collecting unit may include a processor electrically coupled to a memory having stored therein at least one algorithm executable by the processor to activate the patient notification device followed by presenting instructions to the patient via the patient interface device for collecting specified information from the patient via the input device.

64. A method for collecting patient information from which diabetes therapy may be determined, the method comprising:
-
programming an information collecting device with instructions specific to a patient for entering patient information therein, entering the patient information into the information collecting device by the patient according to the instructions, the patient information including information relating to timing and carbohydrate amount of food consumed by the patient and a diabetes therapy related drug received by the patient, and using at least some of the patient information entered into the information collecting device to determine a diabetes therapy for the patient.

65. A method for collecting patient information from which diabetes therapy may be determined, the method comprising:
-
programming an information collecting device with instructions specific to a patient for entering specified patient information therein, activating a patient notification device at one or more predetermined times to alert the patient to enter the specified patient information into the information collecting device according to the instructions, and using at least some of the patient information entered into the information collecting device to determine a diabetes therapy for the patient.

-
66. A method for collecting patient information from which diabetes therapy may be determined, the method comprising:
-
programming an information collecting device with instructions specific to a patient for entering specified patient information therein, programming the information collecting device with default values of the specified patient information, presenting at least some of the default values to the patient, and prompting the patient, according to the instructions, to accept the default values if they represent actual values of the patient information and to otherwise replace any of the default values with corresponding actual values of patient information.

-
67. A method for collecting patient information from which diabetes therapy may be determined, the method comprising:
-
programming an information collecting device with instructions for presenting a list of existing patient information records to a patient, executing the instructions to present the list of existing patient information records for the current day to the patient, and prompting the patient to modify information in any of the presented patient information records.
