Abstract

A testing system and method for providing a testing system includes a user interface having a display for displaying information relating to measurements of health data and an input device for receiving information from a user relating to the health data. Provided in connection with the user interface is an autologging feature adapted to provide the user with user-selectable options on the display. Also provided is a statistical operation adapted to provide the user with enhanced information relating to the measurements of health data. Also provided is at least one indicator for indicating information relating to the number of health data readings that are within a target range, the number of health data readings that are above the target range and the number of health data readings that are below the target range.

Claims

1-24. -24. (canceled)

25. A testing system for measuring a concentration of analyte in a body fluid sample, comprising:

a continuous glucose monitor probe for collecting samples of body fluid; and

a meter comprising;

a reaction-detection system for measuring the analyte concentration in the collected samples of the body fluid;

a display configured to display the measurements of the analyte concentration in the collected samples of the body fluid;

a plurality of soft keys for receiving input from the user and being disposed adjacent to the display, the plurality of soft keys being dynamically assigned to user-selectable options displayed on the display; and

at least one processor performing a statistical operation adapted to provide a statistical output based on the measurements of the analyte concentration in the collected samples of the body fluid for a specified time period.

26. The testing system of claim 25, wherein the display is further configured to display the statistical output and different types of information associated with the statistical output.

27. The testing system of claim 26, wherein each soft key adjacent to the display is (i) assigned to one type of information associated with the statistical output and (ii) aligned respectively with the one type of information displayed on the display.

28. The testing system of claim 27, wherein the soft keys are operable to cause the display to display details on each type of information associated with the statistical output.

29. A testing system for measuring a concentration of analyte in a body fluid sample, the testing system comprising:

a meter having a reaction-detection system for measuring the analyte concentration in the body fluid sample; and

a flippable user interface including

a display configured to display the measurement of the analyte concentration in the body fluid sample; and

a plurality of soft keys for receiving input from a user of the testing system and being disposed adjacent to the display, the plurality of soft keys being dynamically assigned to user-selectable options displayed on the display,

wherein the display of the flippable user interface is configured to rotate so as to correspond to different orientations of the testing system.

30. The testing system of claim 29, wherein the rotation of the display allows the testing system to accommodate right hand users and left hand users.

31. The testing system of claim 29, wherein the display is a touch screen and the rotation of the display includes digitally rotating the information displayed thereon.
