PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING SYSTEM COMMUNICATING WITH AT LEAST A SOCIAL NETWORK
First Claim
1. A physiological measurement system comprising:
- a) a biosensor having at least one electrode responsive to an electrochemical reaction between a fluid sample and an enzyme disposed on the at least one electrode, so that the biosensor provides a signal corresponding to a physiological parameter in the form of an analyte concentration in the fluid sample;
b) a processor connected to the biosensor and configured to receive the signal from the biosensor and automatically determine analyte data using the signal; and
c) a network interface connected to the processor and configured to selectively convey data between the processor and a social network via a communications such that the processor transmits a query for analyte-data-request records to the social network, receives an indication of an analyte-data-request record from the social network, and transmits the determined analyte data to the social network in response to the indication.

Abstract
A physiological measurement system includes a biosensor providing a signal for a fluid sample. A processor determines a physiological parameter in the form of an analyte concentration using the signal from the biosensor. A network interface conveys data between the processor and a social network. The processor can transmit a query for analyte-data-request records to the social network, receive an indication of an analyte-data-request record from the social network, and transmit the determined analyte data or physiologic data to the social network in response to the indication. The processor can alternatively retrieve user credentials from a storage device, transmit the credentials and the analyte data to the social network, retrieve from the social network different-user response data corresponding to the transmission, and present an indication of the response data. Methods for processing analyte or physiologic data are also described. Various methods include transmitting credentials and the stored analyte or physiologic data to the social network.

7. A physiological measurement system for use by a user, the system comprising:
-
a) a biosensor having at least one electrode responsive to an electrochemical reaction between a fluid sample and an enzyme disposed on the at least one electrode, so that the biosensor provides a signal corresponding to a physiological parameter in the form of an analyte concentration in the fluid sample; b) a processor connected to the biosensor and configured to receive the signal from the biosensor and automatically determine analyte data using the signal; c) a network interface connected to the processor and configured to selectively convey data between the processor and a social network via a communications link; d) a storage device that stores credentials of the user; and e) a user interface operative to present information to the user, so that the processor retrieves the credentials from the storage device, transmits the credentials and the analyte data to the social network, retrieves from the social network response data corresponding to the transmission, the response data corresponding to a second user different from the user, and presents an indication of the response data using the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for processing analyte data, the method comprising automatically performing the following steps using a processor:
-
receiving analyte data of a user from a biosensor that detects an analyte level in a bodily fluid of the user; storing the received analyte data in a storage device; transmitting to a social network a query for analyte-data-request records; receiving from the social network an indication of an analyte-data-request record; retrieving credentials of the user from the storage device; and in response to the received indication, transmitting the credentials and the stored analyte data to the social network. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
