Abstract

Methods and apparatus for providing data processing and control for use in a medical communication system are provided.

Claims (41)

1. A method comprising:

receiving sensor data corresponding to a monitored glucose level from a glucose sensor, at least a portion of the glucose sensor being positioned in contact with a fluid under a skin layer;

monitoring for one or more adverse data condition occurrence associated with the glucose sensor based on the sensor data, wherein monitoring for the one or more adverse data condition occurrences comprises identifying a first data quality flag from a plurality of data quality fields included in the sensor data, wherein the first data quality flag identified from the plurality of data quality fields indicate a particular adverse data condition occurrence;

generating a notification configured to be provided to a user when the particular adverse data condition occurrence exceeds a predetermined threshold during a time period; and

displaying the notification on a display of a receiving device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting that the portion of the glucose sensor is positioned in contact with a fluid under a skin layer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular adverse data condition occurrence corresponds to a persistent low glucose level.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first data quality flag indicates that at least a portion of the monitored glucose level is inaccurate.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein an indication of the at least the portion of the monitored glucose level being inaccurate further indicates that the glucose sensor is improperly positioned. indicates that the analyte sensor is improperly positioned.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein an indication of the at least the portion of the monitored glucose level being inaccurate further indicates that the glucose sensor is defective.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time period is between 1 to 24 hours.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification instructs the user to replace the glucose sensor.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification instructs the user to perform one or more troubleshooting steps.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more troubleshooting steps include a step of verifying that a transmitter unit is in proper contact with the glucose sensor, a step of verifying that the glucose sensor is properly inserted and positioned, or a combination of the preceding verifying steps.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises at least one of an auditory, vibratory, or visual alarm.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular adverse data condition occurrence further includes a data quality identifier associated with the particular adverse data condition or another adverse data condition.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein monitoring for the one or more adverse data condition occurrences further comprises identifying a second data quality flag from the plurality of data quality fields included in the sensor data, wherein the second data quality flag identified from the plurality of data quality fields indicate another adverse data condition occurrence.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, based on the first data quality flag identified form the plurality of data quality fields, determining that the sensor data corresponding to the monitored glucose level is corrupted and discarding the sensor data without further processing.

15. A system, comprising:

a glucose sensor, wherein a portion of the glucose sensor is configured to be positioned in contact with a fluid under a skin layer; and

a receiving device, comprising:

a display;

one or more processors; and

at least one memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the receiving device to:

receive sensor data corresponding to a monitored glucose level from the glucose sensor;

monitor for one or more adverse data condition occurrences associated with the glucose sensor based on the sensor data, wherein monitoring for the one or more adverse data condition occurrences comprises identifying a first data quality flag from a plurality of data quality fields included in the sensor data, wherein the first data quality flag identified from the plurality of data quality fields indicate a particular adverse data condition occurrence;

generate a notification configured to be provided to a user when the particular adverse data condition occurrence exceeds a predetermined threshold during a time period; and

display the notification on a display of a receiving device.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the receiving device to:

detect a portion of the glucose sensor being positioned in contact with a fluid under a skin layer.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the adverse data condition occurrence corresponds to a persistent low glucose level.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first data quality flag indicates that at least a portion of the monitored glucose level is inaccurate.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein an indication of the at least the portion of the monitored glucose level being inaccurate further indicates that the glucose sensor is improperly positioned.

20. The system of claim 18 , wherein an indication of the at least the portion of the monitored glucose level being inaccurate further indicates that the glucose sensor is defective.

21. The system of claim 13 , wherein the time period is between 1 to 24 hours.

22. The system of claim 15 , wherein the notification instructs the user to replace the glucose sensor.

23. The system of claim 13 , wherein the notification instructs the user to perform one or more troubleshooting steps.

24. The system of claim 23 , wherein the one or more troubleshooting steps include a step of verifying that a transmitter unit is in proper contact with the glucose sensor, a step of verifying that the glucose sensor is properly inserted and positioned, or a combination of the preceding verifying steps.

25. The system of claim 13 , wherein the notification comprises at least one of an auditory, vibratory, or viusal alarm.

26. The system of claim 15 , wherein the particular adverse data condition occurrence further includes a data quality identifier associated with the particular adverse data condition or another adverse data condition.
