Abstract

An analyte monitoring system may include an analyte sensor, two or more devices including a display device and a second device, and a transceiver. The transceiver may be configured to (i) receive measurement information from the analyte sensor, (ii) establish a connection with the display device while being connected with no other device of the two or more devices, (iii) convey first information to the display device while connected with the display device, (iv) establish a connection with the second device while being connected with no other device of the two or more devices, and (v) convey or receive second information to or from the second device while connected with the second device. The display device may be configured to (i) receive the first information from the transceiver and (ii) display an analyte level based on at least the first information.

5. The analyte monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to transition from being connected to the display device to being connected to the second device and from being connected to the second device to being connected to the display device at scheduled intervals.

6. The analyte monitoring system of claim 5 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to transition from being connected to the second device to being connected to the display device by terminating the connection with the second device and establishing the connection with the display device.

7. The analyte monitoring system of claim 5 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to transition from being connected to the display device to being connected to the second device by terminating the connection with the display device and establishing the connection with the second device.

8. The analyte monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to establish the connection with the display device by conveying one or more advertising packets and waiting for the display device to connect to the transceiver.

9. The analyte monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver further is configured to establish the connection with the second device by conveying one or more advertising packets and waiting for the second device to connect to the transceiver.

10. The analyte monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to establish the connection with the second device by receiving one or more advertising packets from the second device and connecting to the second device.

11. The analyte monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the two or more devices further include a third device, and the transceiver is further configured to establish a connection with the third device only while being connected with no other device of the two or more devices and convey or receive third information to or from the third device while connected with the third device.

12. The analyte monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the second device comprises an insulin pump, a blood glucose meter, or a wearable.

13. The analyte monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to calculate an analyte level using at least the received measurement information, the first information includes the calculated analyte level, and the analyte level displayed by the display device is the calculated analyte level.

14. The analyte monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the first information includes the measurement information, and the display device is further configured to calculate the displayed analyte level using at least the measurement information.

15. A display device comprising:

a transceiver interface configured to receive first information from a transceiver;

a user interface; and

a computer including a non-transitory memory and a processor, wherein the computer is configured to (i) use the transceiver interface to establish a connection with the transceiver, (ii) use the transceiver interface to receive an analyte level from the transceiver while connected with the transceiver, (iii) cause the user interface to display an analyte level based on at least the first information, and (iv) use the transceiver interface to terminate the connection with the transceiver if any of one or more disconnection events occur, wherein the one or more disconnection events include detecting an available connection with a second device.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the computer is further configured to execute a mobile medical application (MMA), and the one or more disconnection events include the MMA transitioning from being run in the foreground to running in the background.

17. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the computer is further configured to use the transceiver interface to establish the connection with the transceiver by receiving one or more advertising packets from the transceiver and connecting to the transceiver.

18. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the displayed analyte level is included in the first information.

19. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the first information includes measurement information, and the computer is further configured to calculate the displayed analyte level using at least the measurement information.

20. A method of using an analyte system including an analyte sensor, a transceiver, and two or more devices including a display device and a second device, the method comprising:
