MEDICAL DEVICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for calibrating medical devices and processing physiological measurements using a medical device management system. As an example, the medical device can be a handheld glucometer configured for invasive testing and non-invasive testing of physiological parameters of a patient.
1 . A method for processing physiological measurements, the method comprising:
receiving, by a medical device management system, physiological measurement data from a portable medical device, wherein the physiological measurement data comprises identification information associated with a user of the portable medical device;
identifying a user account of the medical device management system based on the identification information;
processing the physiological measurement data to determine at least one physiological parameter associated with the physiological measurement data;
transmitting the determined at least one physiological parameter to the portable medical device for display; and
storing the physiological measurement data and the determined at least one physiological parameter in the identified user account.
2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising providing the determined at least one physiological parameter to a user account different from the identified user account based on one or more privacy settings of the identified user account.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the medical device is a glucometer.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one physiological parameter comprises glucose.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement data comprises non-invasive physiological measurement data.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement data comprises invasive physiological test data.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement data is contained in an XML file.
8 . A method for calibrating a portable medical device, the method comprising:
receive a request for calibration from a portable medical device, wherein the request includes identification information associated with the medical device;
identify an account associated with the medical device based on the identification information;
determining that the device needs calibration based on the information stored in the account;
sending a signal to the medical device to initiate a calibration mode on the medical device;
receiving calibration data from the medical device;
processing the calibration data to determine a calibration of the device transmitting an updated calibration to medical device; and
storing the updated calibration in the account associated with the medical device.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the calibration is based on historical information associated with the user account.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the medical device is a glucometer.
11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the calibration can be a single point calibration.
12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein calibration data comprises non-invasive physiological data.
13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein calibration data comprises invasive physiological data.
14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein calibration is patient specific.
15 . A medical device management system comprising:
a data store configured to store user account information associated with a plurality of user accounts; and
a computing device in communication with the data store, the computing device configured to:
receive a measurement request from a portable medical device, wherein the measurement request comprises physiological measurement data;
identify a user account of the plurality of user accounts associated with the measurement request;
process the physiological measurement data to determine at least one physiological parameter associated with the physiological measurement data;
transmit the determined at least one physiological parameter to the portable medical device for display; and
storing the physiological measurement data and the determined at least one physiological parameter in the identified user account.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the data store is further configured to store user specific calibration data associated with the device.
17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one physiological parameter is a least one of invasive glucose testing, non-invasive blood glucose testing, Oxygen Saturation (SpO2), Total Hemoglobin (SpHb), Alkaline Phosphatase (SpALP), Total Cholesterol (SpChol), High-Density Lipoprotein (SpHDL), or Total Cholesterol Divided by High Density Lipoprotein (SpChol/SpHDL).
18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the user account stores a log of all measurements and calibrations associated with each user account.
19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the data store is further configured to store device profile information associated with a plurality of device profiles and the computing device is further configured to identify a device profile of the plurality of device profiles based on identification information.
20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein multiple users are associated with the same device profile.
