Cellular GPRS-communication linked glucometer—pedometer
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling diabetes comprising:
- determining blood glucose level in a sample using an assay which indicates blood glucose level based on a pre-determined and temperature-adjusted change in current flow through a support which has contacted sample blood;
determining exertion level based on detection of motion patterns from a device which;
(i) measures acceleration in three separate axes and, (ii) based on the acceleration patterns from the three axes, said device distinguishes the motions associated with walking from jogging from riding in a vehicle;
continuously transmitting the blood glucose level and exertion level to a monitor for analysis over a cellular GPRS link; and
receiving back recommendations from the monitor.

Abstract
The Cellular GPRS system includes a cellular-based Glucometer (CBG) for blood glucose monitoring, a pedometer for exertion measurement, combined with user-entered dietary or other diabetes-relevant information. Data from all inputs is transmitted over a cellular network, using a GPRS or other wireless link. The data is preferably stored in the device prior to being transmitted wirelessly over the cellular airway to a central computer server. The remote computer server will evaluate the data received and respond with a data packet (making recommendations on further glucose measurement, exercise, diet, insulin requirements or other).
