METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COMMUNICATING WITH AN INSULIN ADMINISTERING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for administering an insulin dose to a subject comprising:
- administering, by an insulin administering device, an insulin dose to said subject;
generating, by said insulin administering device, at least one message containing a status update; and
sending, by the insulin administering device, said at least one message to a computing device via a communication channel, said computing device being separate from said insulin administering device, wherein said communication channel is one of an audio communication channel, a visual communication channel, and a capacitive communication channel.

Abstract
A system, a device and a method associated with an insulin administering device is provided to control administering and recording of information associated with the administering. The insulin administering device is configured to connect with a computing device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet PC, a wearable device, a laptop computer or other suitable device, communicating commands and status updates. The control of such administering system may be useful for medical assessment and care of a subject suffering from a medical condition requiring administering of injected medicines such as a diabetic patient with need to inject insulin or glucagon regularly. The current invention may use various administering devices such as an insulin pen, a syringe, an insulin pump and more. The communication channel between the computing device and the insulin administering device may use audio communication channel, visual communication channel or capacitive communication channel.
