Abstract
The invention relates generally to the extraction and/or presentation of glucose concentrations estimated as a function of time into a format that facilitates conveyance of the underlying information. More particularly, glucose concentration histories are presented in terms of risk of behavior, in a video format, and/or in an audio format. The reduction of data into video format, selected by time period, cluster, or glucose concentration response, into an animated or video presentation allows diagnosis and treatment information to be more readily determined and used. Alternatively, glucose concentrations are output through a voice synthesizer or an earcon. These information presentations are useful for both the medical professional and the end user. The information presentation is preferably used with a noninvasive, implantable, semi-continuous, and/or continuous analyte analyzer, such as a glucose concentration analyzer.

16. An apparatus for representation of data associated with historical noninvasive glucose concentrations, comprising:
a near-infrared based noninvasive glucose analyzer; means for conveying underlying information of tabulated data via a user interface module, wherein said means for conveying comprises; means for reducing said tabulated data via clustering into groups; means for generating a correlation between at least one of said group to a user performing action; and means for presenting graphically to the user said correlation, wherein presentation of said correlation of said action to said group provides said underlying information to the user or a medical professional allowing action specific diagnosis or treatment. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
