Handheld processing device including medical applications for minimally and non invasive glucose measurements
The present disclosure includes a handheld processing device including medical applications for minimally and noninvasive glucose measurements. In an embodiment, the device creates a patient specific calibration using a measurement protocol of minimally invasive measurements and noninvasive measurements, eventually creating a patient specific noninvasive glucometer. Additionally, embodiments of the present disclosure provide for the processing device to execute medical applications and non-medical applications.
1. A server geographically remote from a local health monitoring device, the local device configured to provide a wearer measurement values of a plurality of physiological parameters of the wearer determined using repeatedly updated user-specific calibration data, the local device including a display, a processor local to the wearer, and one or more noninvasive sensors configured to output sensor signals responsive to at least a pulse rate of the wearer based on detection of attenuated light by said noninvasive sensor, said processor receiving said output sensor signals and configured to determine first measurement values of said pulse rate using first calibration data, the server comprising:
an input remote from said wearer configured to receive said first measurement values;
a memory geographically remote from said wearer, said memory configured to store said first measurement values of said pulse rate and other measurement values not associated with said wearer;
a processor geographically remote from said wearer configured process said first measurement values and said other measurement values to determine updated wearer-specific calibration data;
an output remote from said wearer configured to output said updated wearer-specific calibration data for reception at said local device;
said input configured to receive second measurement values of said pulse rate, said second measurement values responsive to said local device using said updated wearer-specific calibration data;
said geographically remote processor also configured process said second measurement values, said first measurement values and said other measurement values to determine second updated wearer-specific calibration data;
said output also configured to output said second updated wearer-specific calibration data for reception at said local device; and
said input also configured to receive third measurement values of said pulse rate, said third measurement values responsive to said local device using said second updated wearer-specific calibration data.
2. The server claim 1 , wherein said output is configured to output first, second, or third measurement data to be received by one or more health related applications of said local device, said measurement data responsive to outputs from an ECG sensor.
3. The server of claim 1 , wherein said output is configured to output first, second, or third measurement data to be received by one or more health related applications of said local device, said measurement data responsive to outputs from a temperature sensor.
4. The server of claim 1 , wherein said output is configured to output first, second, or third measurement data to be received by one or more health related applications of said local device, said measurement data responsive to outputs from an acoustic sensor.
5. The server of claim 1 , wherein said output is configured to output first, second, or third measurement data to be received by one or more health related applications of said local device, said measurement data responsive to outputs from a respiration sensor.
6. The of claim 1 , wherein said output is configured to output first, second, or third measurement data to be received by one or more health related applications of said local device, said measurement data responsive to outputs from a sleep apnea sensor.
7. The server of claim 1 , wherein said output is configured to output first, second, or third measurement data to be received by one or more health related applications of said local device, said measurement data responsive to outputs from a depth of consciousness sensor.
8. The server of claim 1 , further comprising health applications responsive to said first, second and third measurement values.
