Systems and methods for managing diabetes care data
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.
1. A system for managing diabetes care data, comprising:
a host configured to receive data associated with glucose levels from a plurality of client devices, the host comprising:
a database for storing the received data associated with glucose levels;
one or more servers accessible over a computer network for handling client interactions with the system;
one or more processors; and
memory operably coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory includes instructions stored therein 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, each of the GUIs including:
a report generation component configured to generate a set of reports based on selected data associated with glucose levels, wherein the set of reports includes:
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 comprises one or more bars, wherein a length of each of the one or more bars corresponds with a percentage of time in which the glucose levels were within one of the at least three predetermined glucose ranges during a specified time period; and
a security component adapted to enable a patient to authorize a health care professional (HCP) to have access to diabetes care data relating to the patient, wherein the security component is adapted to prompt the HCP to enter manually, with an input of a computing device, an invitation code provided by the patient, and wherein the invitation code is configured to expire if not accepted within a predetermined amount of time.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the set of reports further includes a table displaying statistics corresponding to the glucose levels, wherein the table displaying statistics further includes a displayed average carbohydrate intake per day.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the table displaying statistics corresponds to a one month period of time.
