Abstract

A host-client data sharing system manages diabetes care data. A host database, preferably web or internet based, is implemented for storing diabetes care data relating to multiple diabetics. A client or local database stores the diabetes care data relating to multiple diabetics on a personal appliance such as a PC, or a portable or handheld microprocessor-based computing device. The host database uses multiple servers for handling client interactions with the system.

Claims (18)

1. A system for managing diabetes care data, the system comprising:

one or more servers configured to receive, over a computer network, data associated with glucose levels from a plurality of client devices, the one or more servers comprising:

a database for storing the received data associated with the glucose levels;

one or more processors; and

memory coupled with the one or more processors, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to interact with graphical user interfaces (GUIs) on the plurality of client devices, wherein the GUIs include:

a report generation component configured to generate a set of reports based on the received data associated with the glucose levels, the set of reports comprising:

a plurality of data elements configured in a daily pattern of glucose levels for a plurality of time periods; and

a glucose histogram associated with at least three predetermined glucose ranges, wherein the glucose histogram is based on the received data associated with the glucose levels for a predetermined time period, wherein the glucose histogram comprises one or more graphical elements, and wherein a dimension of each graphical element corresponds with a percentage of time in which the glucose levels were within one of the at least three predetermined glucose ranges; and

a security component configured to generate an invitation code to enable a patient to authorize a health care professional (HCP) to have access to diabetes care data relating to the patient, wherein the invitation code is configured to expire after a predetermined amount of time, and wherein the invitation code is configured to be entered manually by an HCP to access the patient's diabetes care data.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time period comprises a one month period of time.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of client devices comprises a plurality of portable handheld computing devices.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the GUIs further includes a health care professional (HCP) selection component adapted to permit reviewing of data relating to a particular HCP of multiple HCPs.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the GUIs further comprises a device selection component permitting reviewing of data from a particular device model of multiple device models.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the GUIs further includes a pattern recognition component configured to determine whether patterns of interest exist within the received data associated with glucose levels, and to indicate one or more of a recognized pattern of glucose data above a predetermined range, a recognized pattern of glucose data below the predetermined range, and a recognized pattern of glucose data within the predetermined range.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the set of reports further comprises a table displaying statistics corresponding to the received data associated with the glucose levels, wherein the table displaying statistics comprises: a number of glucose readings statistic, a highest glucose reading statistic, a lowest glucose reading statistic, an average glucose reading statistic, a standard deviation statistic, a percentage of glucose readings within range statistic, a percentage of glucose readings above a predetermined high glucose threshold, a percentage of glucose readings below a predetermined low glucose threshold, and a percentage of glucose readings below a predetermined very low glucose threshold.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the table displaying statistics corresponds to a customizable date range.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the table displaying statistics further comprises insulin statistics or carbohydrate statistics.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least three predetermined glucose ranges are not user-defined.
