Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for remote monitoring. In some example implementations, there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at a remote monitor, a notification message representative of an event detected, by a server, from analyte sensor data obtained from a receiver monitoring an analyte state of a host; presenting, at the remote monitor, the notification message to activate the remote monitor, wherein the remote monitor is configured by the server to receive the notification message to augment the receiver monitoring of the analyte state of the host; accessing, by the remote monitor, the server, in response to the presenting of the notification message; and receiving, in response to the accessing, information including at least the analyte sensor data. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Claims (38)

1. A method for monitoring a host's glucose levels measured using a continuous glucose monitoring system, comprising:

executing a software application on a digital device in communication with a remote server storing glucose monitoring data;

receiving, by the digital device, a first glucose value of a host, the first glucose value being based on a first sample of the host;

comparing the first glucose value to a first threshold, the first threshold being based at least on a glucose concentration;

if the first glucose value exceeds the first threshold, displaying the first glucose value without generating an audible voice;

following the displaying of the first glucose value without generating an audible voice, receiving, by the digital device, a second glucose value of the host, the second glucose value being based on a second sample of the host taken at a time after the first sample; and

if the second glucose value exceeds the first threshold, determining a second threshold, the second threshold comprising a duration of time that is determined based on a severity of a glucose concentration state of the host determined based on the second glucose value;

determining whether the second threshold is exceeded, and

in response to determining that the second threshold is exceeded, providing an alert to a user including generating the audible voice at the digital device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the audible voice comprises audibly providing the second glucose value using the digital device and displaying a current glucose value on a display of the digital device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein outputting generating the audible voice further comprises triggering display of a glucose trend graph of a measured glucose concentration of the host over time.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the audible voice comprises audibly providing a state of the host.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the state of the host comprises one or more of a current glucose value of the host, a rate of change of glucose concentration of the host, and a location of the host.

6. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising enabling a voice feedback setting of the digital device, wherein enabling the voice feedback setting includes selecting at least one of a plurality of alert parameters.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of alert parameters comprises a time interval for automatically providing voice feedback whereby voice feedback is not provided to the user of the digital device between time intervals, a glucose threshold and a rate of change threshold.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital device is a mobile computing device configured to monitor one or more host glucose monitoring devices, whereby each of the one or more host glucose monitoring devices measures a glucose state of a different host, wherein the one or more host glucose monitoring devices include a host glucose monitoring device which measures a glucose state of the host.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein receiving the first glucose value of the host, the first glucose value being based on the first sample of the host, comprises: receiving the first glucose value from the remote server.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital device is in communication with the continuous glucose monitoring system configured to measure the glucose levels of the host, the digital device or the continuous glucose monitoring system in communication with the remote server for providing the glucose levels to one or more remote monitoring users, including the user.

11. A continuous glucose monitoring system for monitoring a host's glucose levels, comprising:

a continuous glucose sensor adapted to obtain a first glucose value of a host, the first glucose value being based on a first sample of the host, and a second glucose value of the host, the second glucose value being based on a second sample of the host taken at a time after the first sample; and

a digital device adapted to be in communication with a remote server storing glucose monitoring data, wherein the digital device comprises a processor adapted to execute a software application to:

receive, by the digital device, the first glucose value of the host,

compare the first glucose value to a first threshold, the first threshold being based at least on a glucose concentration,

if the first glucose value exceeds the first threshold, display the first glucose value without generating an audible voice;

following the display of the first glucose value without generating an audible voice, receive, by the digital device, the second glucose value of the host, and

if the second glucose value exceeds the first threshold, determine a second threshold, the second threshold comprising a duration of time that is determined based on a severity of a glucose concentration state of the host determined based on the second glucose value;

determine whether the second threshold is exceeded, and

in response to determining that the second threshold is exceeded, provide an alert to a user including generating the audible voice at the digital device.

12. The continuous glucose monitoring system of claim 11 , wherein generating the audible voice comprises audibly providing the second glucose value using the digital device and displaying a current glucose value on a display of the digital device.

13. The continuous glucose monitoring system of claim 12 , wherein generating the audible voice further comprises triggering display of a glucose trend graph of a measured glucose concentration of the host over time.

14. The continuous glucose monitoring system of claim 11 , wherein generating the audible voice comprises audibly providing a state of the host.

15. The continuous glucose monitoring system of claim 14 , wherein the state of the host comprises one or more of a current glucose value of the host, a rate of change of glucose concentration of the host, and a location of the host.

16. The continuous glucose monitoring system of claim 11 , wherein the software application further enables a voice feedback setting of the digital device, wherein enabling the voice feedback setting includes selecting at least one of a plurality of alert parameters.

17. The continuous glucose monitoring system of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of alert parameters comprises a time interval for automatically providing voice feedback whereby voice feedback is not provided to the user of the digital device between time intervals, a glucose threshold and a rate of change threshold.

18. The continuous glucose monitoring system of claim 11 , wherein the digital device is a mobile computing device adapted to monitor one or more host glucose monitoring devices, wherein each of the one or more host glucose monitoring devices is adapted to measure a glucose state of a different host, wherein the one or more host glucose monitoring devices include a host glucose monitoring device which measures a glucose state of the host.

19. The continuous glucose monitoring system of claim 18 , wherein

the digital device receives the first glucose value from the remote server.

20. The continuous glucose monitoring system of claim 11 , wherein the digital device is adapted to be in communication with the continuous glucose sensor, and the digital device or the continuous glucose sensor is adapted to be in communication with the remote server for providing glucose levels to one or more remote monitoring users, including the user.
