Abstract

Blood glucose states based at least on sensed brain activity data. Blood glucose states may be predicted states using prediction models, and may be real-time or future glucose states. One or more wearable sensors, optionally adapted for use in either single channel or dual channel sensing, can record brain activity signals and communicate brain activity signal data to a remote device.

Claims (16)

1 . A method of predicting a glucose state of a subject, comprising:

during an initial subject process that includes time while the subject is asleep,

non-invasively sensing personal brain activity or information indicative thereof from the subject with a wearable sensor sized and configured to be positioned at a behind an ear or forehead location, the wearable sensor configured to wirelessly communicate to a second device in wireless communication with the wearable sensor;

receiving or generating personal glucose information of the subject using a glucose sensor being worn by the subject while the subject is wearing the wearable sensor, the glucose sensor worn at a location different than the wearable sensor; and

creating a personalized prediction model using at least the personal brain activity or information indicative thereof and the received or generated personal glucose information, the personalized prediction model adapted to predict a future predicted glucose state;

at a time subsequent to the initial subject process, and while the subject is asleep, sensing personal brain activity or information indicative thereof from the subject with the wearable sensor;

predicting, using the personalized prediction model, the personal future predicted glucose state of the subject based at least partially on the subsequently sensed personal brain activity or information indicative thereof; and

outputting instructions that create a visual display on a subject device that is indicative of the personal future predicted glucose state.

2 . A method of predicting a glucose state of a subject, comprising:

during an initial subject process that includes time only when the subject is asleep,

non-invasively sensing personal brain activity or information indicative thereof from the subject with a wearable sensor configured to be positioned at a behind an ear or forehead location, the wearable sensor configured to wirelessly communicate to a second device in wireless communication with the wearable sensor;

receiving or generating personal glucose information of the subject using a glucose sensor that is worn by the subject while the subject is wearing the wearable sensor, the glucose sensor worn at a location different than the wearable sensor; and

creating a personalized prediction model using at least the personal brain activity or information indicative thereof and the received or generated personal glucose information;

at a time subsequent to the initial subject process, and while the subject is asleep, sensing personal brain activity or information indicative thereof from the subject with the wearable sensor;

predicting, using the personalized prediction model, a personal future glucose risk indicator of the subject based at least partially on the subsequently sensed personal brain activity or information indicative thereof; and

outputting instructions that create a visual display on a subject device that is indicative of the personal future glucose risk indicator.
