Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for processing analyte data. In some example implementations, a method may include receiving, at a first processing system including a user interface, an installation package including a plug-in and code configured to provide at the first processing system an interface between a sensor system configured to measure an analyte concentration level in a host and a second processing system; storing, by the first processing system, the installation package in a location based on a role of a user initiating the installation of the code; installing the plug-in for the user interface to enable the plug-in to control one or more aspects of an installation of the code; and initiating, by at least the plug-in, the installation of the code at the first processing system to provide the interface. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Claims (28)

1. A method comprising:

inhibiting access to analyte sensor data indicative of measured analyte concentration levels in a host, when a command is received to place in a blind mode one or more of an interface and a sensor system configured to measure the analyte concentration level in the host;

forwarding the analyte sensor data to an analyte processing system; and deriving analyte concentration values using the analyte sensor data,

wherein the inhibiting access to the analyte sensor data prevents one or more of the interface and the sensor system from displaying a numerical representation of the analyte concentration values derived using the analyte sensor data stored in memory therein.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interface comprises a processor and a display for displaying the analyte sensor data, and wherein the interface couples to the sensor system via a first encrypted connection and further couples through a second encrypted connection to the analyte processing system.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the analyte processing system, the command to place in the blind mode at least one of the interface and the sensor system.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising accessing a remote processing system using the interface, the remote processing system having computer instructions configured to cause the inhibiting access to the analyte sensor data.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the interface comprises an internet browser and a browser plug-in, the plug-in configured to cause the internet browser to access the remote processing system and communicate with the sensor system.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising registering the sensor system for a particular use, the registering comprising associating the sensor system with a file pertaining the particular use.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the registering further comprises one or more of clearing data from persistent memory of the sensor system, setting a clock of the sensor system or placing the sensor system in the blind or an unblind mode.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the inhibiting is performed when the sensor system is set to the blind mode, and wherein the inhibiting access to the analyte sensor data is not performed when the sensor is in the unblind mode.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the registering is performed programically responsive to a user selection of a prompt on the interface.

10. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including code which when executed by the at least one processor provides operations comprising:

inhibiting access to analyte sensor data indicative of measured analyte concentration levels in a host, when a command is received to place in a blind mode one or more of an interface and a sensor system configured to measure the analyte concentration level in the host;

forwarding the analyte sensor data to an analyte processing system; and

deriving analyte concentration values using the analyte sensor data,

wherein the inhibiting access to the analyte sensor data prevents one or more of the interface and the sensor system from displaying a numerical representation of the analyte concentration values derived using the analyte sensor data stored in memory therein.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the interface comprises a processor and a display for displaying the analyte sensor data, and wherein the interface is configured to couple to the sensor system via a first encrypted connection and is further configured to couple through a second encrypted connection to the analyte processing system.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , further configured to receive, from the analyte processing system, the command to place in the blind mode at least one of the interface and the sensor system.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise accessing a remote processing system using the interface, the remote processing system having computer instructions configured to cause the inhibiting access to the analyte sensor data.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the interface comprises an internet browser and a browser plug-in, the plug-in configured to cause the internet browser to access the remote processing system and communicate with the sensor system.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise registering the sensor system for a particular use, the registering comprising associating the sensor system with a file pertaining the particular use.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the registering further comprises one or more of clearing data from persistent memory of the sensor system, setting a clock of the sensor system or placing the sensor system in the blind or an unblind mode.

17. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the inhibiting is performed when the sensor system is set to the blind mode, and wherein the inhibiting access to the analyte sensor data is not performed when the sensor is in the unblind mode.

18. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the registering is performed programically responsive to a user selection of a prompt on the interface.
