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.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the rules of the established one or more rules is modifiable based on a second set of rule settings at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, and wherein the second set of rule settings comprises a type of alarm and/or notification to be provided for display at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the rules of the established one or more rules is modifiable based on a second set of rule settings at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, and wherein the second set of rule settings comprises one or more thresholds associated with the analyte concentration state of the host.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein triggering the notification message comprises:

receiving an indication of receipt of the analyte sensor data associated with the host from the transcutaneous analyte sensor.

receiving an indication of at least one of the one or more rule settings being met based on the analyte sensor data being received at the mobile host monitoring apparatus from the transcutaneous analyte sensor.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the analyte concentration of the host is derived at least in part from one or more signals generated by the transcutaneous analyte sensor.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyte sensor data is derived at least in part from one or more signals generated by the transcutaneous analyte sensor.
