First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- monitoring a user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction with a medical device;
comparing the user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction with the medical device to at least one predetermined target level of interaction;
alerting the user when the user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction with the medical device is equal to or below the at least one predetermined target level of interaction;
adjusting the at least one predetermined target level of interaction according to a future analyte level of the user, wherein the future analyte level is predicted using rate of change data;
rewarding the user when the user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction stays above the at least one predetermined target level of interaction for a predetermined time; and
displaying a reward indicator to the user when the user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction achieves the at least one predetermined target level of interaction.

17. An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
-
a user interactive analyte monitoring device to monitor at least one analyte of a user; and a processor unit coupled to the user interactive analyte monitoring device, the processor unit configured to determine the frequency of user interaction with the analyte monitoring device, to compare the user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction with the analyte monitoring device to at least one predetermined target level of interaction, to alert the user when the user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction with the analyte monitoring device is equal to or below the at least one predetermined target level of interaction, to adjust the at least one predetermined target level of interaction according to a future analyte level of the user, wherein the future analyte level is predicted using rate of change data, to reward the user when the actual frequency of interaction stays above the at least one predetermined level of interaction for a predetermined time, and to display a reward indicator to the user when the user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction achieves the at least one predetermined target level. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
-
a sensor to monitor an analyte level of the user, a transmitter to transmit information obtained by the sensor; and a receiver unit comprising a receiver to receive data from the sensor, and a display coupled to the receiver to display the received data to the user when the user interacts with the receiver unit; wherein the receiver unit is configured to monitor the user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction with the receiver unit, compare the user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction with the receiver unit to at least one predetermined target level of interaction, alert the user when the user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction with the receiver unit is equal to or below the at least one predetermined target level of interaction, adjust the at least one predetermined target level of interaction according to a future analyte level of the user, wherein the future analyte level is predicted using rate of change data, reward the user when the actual frequency of interaction stays above the at least one predetermined level of interaction for a predetermined time, and display a reward indicator to the user when the user'"'"'s actual frequency of interaction achieves the at least one predetermined target level. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
