PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANT OR ORGANIZER FOR MONITORING GLUCOSE LEVELS
First Claim
1. A physiological data collection device for measuring and communicating physiological data at the point of measurement, the device comprising:
- a display for displaying information to a user;
a physiological data collection component comprising a sensor configured to non-invasively and optically measure physiological reading data indicative of a blood glucose level of a patient;
a data storage storing a data communication module and a plurality of communication preferences relating to transmission of the physiological reading data; and
a processor configured to execute the data communication module,wherein the data communication module is configured to receive the physiological reading data and cause the physiological reading data to be transmitted to a remote device in accordance with the communication preferences.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a personal health organizer that enables patients and healthcare personnel to manage health data. The personal health organizer can be a portable device adapted to receive physiological reading data from a health data collection device or derive reading data from signals acquired by a sensor, or a software module/platform for performing same that is configured to be executed on a general purpose computing device such as a mobile phone/computer. The personal health organizer integrates reading data with applications that assist and promote health management, including reminders, alerts and health data tracking. The reading data obtained can be forwarded to healthcare providers so they can provide feedback such as alerts and diagnoses to the user. The personal health organizer can also support electronic medical record integration via networked computing so that locally stored medical data are automatically synchronized with remotely stored medical data records.
