Abstract

Method and system for detecting a device connection, receiving device identification information, receiving a code based on a subject information and the location information, receiving glucose data over the detected device connection, and storing the received glucose data with a generated code in a predetermined file format are provided.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

detecting a device connection;

receiving device identification information;

receiving a code based on a subject information and the location information;

receiving glucose data over the detected device connection; and

storing the received glucose data with a generated code in a predetermined file format.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the location information includes an investigation site.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the generated code includes a personal identification number (PIN).

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the generated code includes a checksum.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the checksum includes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) checksum.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the generated code includes a concatenation of the device and/or subject identification information and a clinical study identifier (such as location) information.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the predetermined file format includes CSV format.

8. The method of claim 1 including exporting the stored glucose data with the generated code in the predetermined file format.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein exporting the stored glucose data includes writing the glucose data with the generated code onto a media device.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the media device includes one of a CDROM, a zip drive, a flash memory device, or a writable DVD.

11. The method of claim 1 including encrypting the generated code.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the encrypted generated code is stored with the received glucose data with the generated code.

13. The method of claim 12 including:

decrypting the encrypted generated code; and

comparing the decrypted generated code to the stored generated code.

14. The method of claim 13 wherein comparing includes verifying the stored received glucose data.

15. The method of claim 13 wherein when the compared decrypted generated code does not match the stored generated code, declaring stored received glucose data as not verified.

16. An apparatus, comprising

a data communication interface;

one or more processors coupled to the data communication interface; and

a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, detects a device connection, receives device identification information, receives a code generated based on the subject identification information and the location information receives glucose data over the detected device connection, and stores the received glucose data with the generated code in a predetermined file format.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 wherein the generated code includes a personal identification number (PIN).

18. The apparatus of claim 16 wherein the generated code includes a checksum.

19. The apparatus of claim 18 wherein the checksum includes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) checksum.

20. The apparatus of claim 16 wherein the generated code includes a concatenation of the device identification information and the location information.
