First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing instruction to a patient including the steps of:
- receiving an indication of a first dose actually administered;
determining if the actually administered first dose differs from an expected first dose;
receiving an indication of a second dose actually administered; and
determining if the actually administered second dose differs from an expected second dose;
such that if the actually administered first dose differs from the expected first dose and the actually administered second dose differs from the expected second dose, then defining a third expected dose using the first actually administered dose and the second actually administered dose.

13. A method of providing instruction to a patient including the steps of:
-
defining a value for a physiological condition as a normal value and defining a usual dose associated with the normal value of the physiological condition;
receiving indications of a value of the physiological condition of the patient;
determining if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is equal to the defined normal value;
if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is equal to the defined normal value, recommending the usual dose; and
if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is not equal to the defined normal value, determining a first dose administered in the past when the value of the physiological condition was similarly not equal to the defined normal value and recommending a second dose equal to the first dose. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method of providing instruction to a patient including the steps of:
-
providing an advising computing device;
providing the patient with a recommended dose; and
instructing the patient to either agree with the recommended dose or to disagree with the recommended dose and input the actually administered dose. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)

50. A method of providing instruction to a patient including the steps of:
-
providing an advising computing device;
receiving a blood glucose reading; and
determining whether the received blood glucose reading was taken within a predetermined testing window; and
if the reading was taken within the window, accepting the reading and providing the patient with a recommended dose, and if the reading was taken outside the window, identifying the reading as non-conforming. - View Dependent Claims (51)

52. A method of providing instruction to a patient including the steps of:
-
providing at least one advising computing device;
receiving a plurality of communications from the at least one computing device indicating a health problem; and
assembling a listing of the plurality of communications from at least one advising computing device, the communications being arranged so as to prioritize the communications based upon the severity of the health problem indicated thereby. - View Dependent Claims (53, 54)

55. A computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by a computer performs steps to provide instruction to a patient, the steps comprising:
-
receiving an indication of a first dose actually administered;
determining if the actually administered first dose differs from an expected first dose;
receiving an indication of a second dose actually administered; and
determining if the actually administered second dose differs from an expected second dose;
such that if the actually administered first dose differs from the expected first dose and the actually administered second dose differs from the expected second dose, then defining a third expected dose using the first actually administered dose and the second actually administered dose. - View Dependent Claims (56)

57. A computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by a computer performs steps to provide instruction to a patient, the steps comprising:
-
defining a value for a physiological condition as a normal value and defining a usual dose associated with the normal value of the physiological condition;
receiving indications of a value of the physiological condition of the patient;
determining if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is equal to the defined normal value;
if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is equal to the defined normal value, recommending the usual dose; and
if the value of the physiological condition of the patient is not equal to the defined normal value, determining a first dose administered in the past when the value of the physiological condition was similarly not equal to the defined normal value and recommending a second dose equal to the first dose.
