Abstract

The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for presenting glucose level data. Glucose data for a patient may be received. A current glucose level and a rate of change of the current glucose level may be determined based on the received glucose data. A first interface may be displayed on a screen of a device. The first interface may include a unitary icon. The unitary icon may display the current glucose level and a visualization of the rate of change. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, wherein the processor and the memory are configured to perform operations comprising;

receiving glucose data for a patient;

determining a current glucose level and a rate of change of the current glucose level based on the received glucose data; and

displaying on a screen of a device a first interface comprising a unitary icon, the unitary icon displaying the current glucose level and a visualization of the rate of change.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the rate of change is based on at least the current glucose level and a second value, the second value representative of the glucose level of the patient at a second time preceding a time associated with the current glucose level.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the visualization of the rate of change comprises one or more arrows oriented in a first direction, the first direction representative of whether the current glucose level is increasing, decreasing, or stable, and wherein the visualization of the rate of change changes by at least varying the first direction of the one or more arrows.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the one or more arrows oriented in the first direction have a first pointing direction of 0°

when the rate of change is increasing, have a second pointing direction of 180°

when the rate of change is decreasing, or have a third pointing direction of 90°

when the rate of change is stable.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein a number of the one or more arrows is selected based on a magnitude of the rate of change.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the unitary icon possesses a background color based on at least the current glucose level.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the background color is a first color when the current glucose level is associated with a high glucose level, a second color when the current glucose level is associated with a target glucose level, and a third color when the current glucose level is associated with a low glucose level.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the first interface further comprises a graph displaying a plurality of glucose levels over a predetermined period of time, wherein the plurality of glucose levels includes a plurality of data points representative of the current glucose level and one or more historical values, wherein the graph is separated into one or more of a first band associated with a high glucose level, a second band associated with a target glucose level, and a third band associated with a low glucose level, and wherein the first band, the second band, and the third band are different colors.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the current glucose level is displayed on a right-most side of the graph in a current band, the current band comprising the first band, the second band, or the third band, and wherein the color of the current band matches the background color of the unitary icon.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the plurality of data points includes at least a first data point type and a second data point type, wherein the current glucose level is displayed on the graph using the first data point type, wherein the one or more historical values are displayed on the graph using the second data point type, wherein the first data point type is a first circle having a black border and a white background, wherein the second data point type is a second circle having a black border and a black background, wherein the plurality of data points further includes a third data point type representative of an event, the event associated with a nearest one of the plurality of data points.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the third data point type is a shape that surrounds the first data point type or the second data point type.

12. The system of claim 10, the operations further comprising:

displaying a description of the event on the first interface when the third data point type is selected.

13. The system of claim 10, the operations further comprising:

displaying a second interface when the screen is rotated, wherein the second interface comprises an extended view of the graph in the first user interface over a user selected period of time.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the user selected period of time is one hour, three hours, six hours, twelve hours, or twenty four hours.

15. The system of claim 13, the operations further comprising:

displaying a miniature icon on the second interface when one of the plurality of data points is selected, the miniature icon displaying a glucose level associated with the selected data point.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the miniature icon further includes a background color based on a value of the selected data point relative to one or more threshold values.

17. The system of claim 1, wherein the unitary icon comprises a circular shape with one or more arrows that rotate about the circular shape based on the rate of change of the current glucose level.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the current glucose level is displayed inside the circular shape.
