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.

Claims (24)

1. A method of remotely monitoring a glucose concentration state of a host, the method comprising:

receiving, at a mobile remote monitoring apparatus, an invitation to receive one or more notification messages containing information indicative of glucose concentration state of a host based on glucose sensor data obtained from a transcutaneous glucose sensor monitoring a glucose concentration state of the host, wherein the one or more notification messages are generated based on a set of rule settings initially established at a mobile host monitoring apparatus wirelessly coupled to the transcutaneous glucose sensor and wherein at least one rule of the set of rule settings is later modifiable by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus;

presenting, at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, the invitation to activate the mobile remote monitoring apparatus to receive the one or more notification messages for user acceptance;

receiving an indication of user acceptance, by the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, in response to the presenting of the invitation; and

configuring the mobile remote monitoring apparatus to receive, in response to receiving the indication of user acceptance, the one or more notification messages according to the set of rule settings including configuring the mobile remote monitoring apparatus to receive modifications to the at least one rule of the set of rule settings.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a modification to the at least one rule of the set of rule settings at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus;

receiving at least one notification message; and

providing the notification message for display according to the modification.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the providing the notification for display further comprises inhibiting access to one or more applications at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus until an action at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus is detected to indicate receipt of the notification message, wherein the mobile monitor monitoring apparatus further comprises a monitoring application.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising opening the monitoring application.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the providing the notification for display further comprises presenting the notification message as a momentary message on a display at the mobile remote monitoring apparatus without the inhibiting access.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the mobile remote monitoring apparatus and the mobile host monitoring apparatus comprise one or more of a mobile station, a wireless terminal, a tablet, a smart phone, a multi-mode wireless device, and a computer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile host monitoring apparatus includes, or couples to, a gateway interfacing a wireless connection to a public land mobile network.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one rule of the one or more rules defines a trigger causing an alert to be sent to the mobile host monitoring apparatus.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising sending, by the mobile wireless remote monitoring device, a message acknowledging a receipt of the invitation.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising establishing a connection between the mobile remote monitoring apparatus and a server to enable the receiving of the information.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising registering, at the server, at least one of the mobile remote monitoring apparatus, the mobile host monitoring apparatus, and the transcutaneous glucose sensor, wherein the registration includes a code.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is implemented on an apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including code, which when executed by the at least one processor causes the apparatus to provide the method.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein a computer-readable storage medium includes code which when executed by at least one processor causes the method.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the glucose concentration state of the host is derived at least in part from a signal generated by the transcutaneous glucose sensor.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the invitation is triggered to be sent by the mobile host monitoring apparatus upon input of an identifier for a remote monitoring user into the mobile host monitoring apparatus.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the glucose concentration state of the host comprises a notification of a glucose concentration state of the host.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information indicative of the glucose concentration state of the host comprises a glucose concentration value.
