Abstract

Claims (26)

1. A method of determining an average usage of an analyte monitoring system, the method comprising:

using an analyte sensor of the analyte monitoring system to convey sensor data including measurement information;

using a transceiver of the analyte monitoring system to receive the sensor data conveyed by the analyte sensor;

using the transceiver to calculate one or more analyte concentrations using at least the received sensor data during a first period of time;

using the analyte monitoring system to calculate a duration of time that a host uses the analyte monitoring system during the first period of time, wherein calculating the duration of time that the host uses the analyte monitoring system comprises:

determining a number of analyte concentrations calculated by the analyte monitoring system during the first period of time;

calculating a ratio between the determined number of analyte concentrations and an expected number of analyte concentrations during the first period of time; and

multiplying the first period of time by the calculated ratio;

using the analyte monitoring system to calculate an average time that the host uses the analyte monitoring system during a second period of time, wherein the average time is calculated based on at least the calculated duration; and

using the analyte monitoring system to generate and display a report indicating the average time that the host uses the analyte monitoring system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein using the analyte monitoring system includes positioning the transceiver such that the transceiver is operatively linked to the analyte sensor.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyte monitoring system further comprises a display device configured to receive the one or more analyte concentrations from the transceiver, convey the one or more analyte measurements over a network, and display the one or more analyte concentrations and the report.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the analyte monitoring system further comprises a remote computing device configured to receive the one or more analyte concentrations from the display device over the network and generate the report.

5. A method of determining an average usage of an analyte monitoring system, the method comprising:

using an analyte sensor of the analyte monitoring system to convey sensor data including measurement information;

using a transceiver of the analyte monitoring system to receive the sensor data conveyed by the analyte sensor;

using the transceiver to calculate one or more analyte concentrations using at least the received sensor data during a first period of time;

using the analyte monitoring system to calculate a duration of time that a host uses the analyte monitoring system during the first period of time, wherein calculating the duration of time that the host uses the analyte monitoring system comprises:

determining a number of analyte concentrations calculated by the analyte monitoring system during the first period of time;

calculating a ratio between the determined number of analyte concentrations and an expected number of analyte concentrations during the first period of time; and

multiplying the first period of time by the calculated ratio;

using the analyte monitoring system to calculate a percentage of the first period of time that the host uses the analyte monitoring system, wherein the percentage is calculated based on at least the calculated duration; and

using the analyte monitoring system to generate and display a report indicating the percentage of the first period of time that the host uses the analyte monitoring system.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein using the analyte monitoring system includes positioning the transceiver such that the transceiver is operatively linked to the analyte sensor.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the analyte monitoring system further comprises a display device configured to receive the one or more analyte concentrations from the transceiver, convey the one or more analyte measurements over a network, and display the one or more analyte concentrations and the report.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the analyte monitoring system further comprises a remote computing device configured to receive the one or more analyte concentrations from the display device over the network and generate the report.
