Health Monitoring System
First Claim
1. A low glucose prediction signal generator that uses a set of constraints to predict an imminent occurrence of hypoglycemia, the generator comprising:
- (a) a pre-processing module that receives and modulates continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data by reducing noise and adjusting for missed data points and shifts due to calibration;
(b) a core algorithm module that receives data from the pre-processing module and calculates a rate of change to make a hypoglycemia prediction, and determine if hypoglycemia is imminent; and
(c) an alarm mode module that receives data from the core algorithm and if hypoglycemia is imminent, issues an audio or visual alert or warning message or a negative feedback signal to an insulin delivery device.

Abstract
A machine for processing continuous glucose monitoring data and issuing an alert if hypoglycemia is imminent has three modules: (a) a pre-processing module that receives and modulates continuous glucose monitoring data by reducing noise and adjusting for missed data points and shifts due to calibration; (b) a core algorithm module that receives data from the pre-processing module and calculates a rate of change to make a hypoglycemia prediction, and determine if hypoglycemia is imminent; and (c) an alarm mode module that receives data from the core algorithm and issues an audio or visual alert or warning message or a negative feedback signal to an insulin delivery device if hypoglycemia is imminent.

15. A low glucose predictor (LPG) core algorithm comprising a numerical logical algorithm that feeds a three-point calculated rate of change using backward difference approximation and the current glucose value into logical expressions to detect impending hypoglycemia, wherein the logical expressions verify that the rate of change is both negative and within a predetermined acceptable range as well as that the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) glucose values are within predefined boundaries and that a pending hypoglycemic event is predicted within the threshold time window, and wherein the numerical logical algorithm provides tuning and insensitivity to sensor signal dropouts.
