BACKGROUND
In diabetes management, there exist devices which allow diabetic patients to measure the blood glucose levels. One such device is a hand-held electronic meter such as blood glucose meters such as Freestyle blood glucose monitoring system available from Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc., of Alameda, California which receives blood samples via enzyme-based test strips. Typically, the patient lances a finger or alternate body site to obtain a blood sample, applies the drawn blood sample to the test strip, and the strip is inserted into a test strip opening or port in the meter housing. The blood glucose meter converts a current generated by the enzymatic reaction in the test strip to a corresponding blood glucose value which is displayed or otherwise provided to the patient to show the level of glucose at the time of testing.
Such periodic discrete glucose testing helps diabetic patients to take any necessary corrective actions to better manage diabetic conditions. Presently available glucose meters have limited functionalities (for example, providing the glucose value measured using the test strip and storing the data for subsequent recall or display) and do not provide any additional information or capability to assist patients in managing diabetes.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a therapy management system for practicing one embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1, the therapy management system 100 includes an analyte monitoring system 110 operatively coupled to a fluid delivery device 120, which may be in turn, operatively coupled to a remote terminal 140. As shown in the Figure, the analyte monitoring system 110 is, in one embodiment, coupled to the patient 130 so as to monitor or measure the analyte levels of the patient. Moreover, the fluid delivery device 120 is coupled to the patient using, for example, an infusion set and tubing connected to a cannula (not shown) that is placed transcutaneously through the skin of the patient so as to infuse medication such as, for example, insulin, to the patient.
Referring to FIG. 1, the analyte monitoring system 110 in one embodiment may include one or more analyte sensors subcutaneously positioned such that at least a portion of the analyte sensors are maintained in fluid contact with the patient's analytes. The analyte sensors may include, but are not limited to short term subcutaneous analyte sensors or transdermal analyte sensors, for example, which are configured to detect analyte levels of a patient over a predetermined time period, and after which, a replacement of the sensors is necessary.
The one or more analyte sensors of the analyte monitoring system 110 is coupled to a respective one or more of a data transmitter unit which is configured to receive one or more signals from the respective analyte sensors corresponding to the detected analyte levels of the patient, and to transmit the information corresponding to the detected analyte levels to a receiver device, and/or fluid delivery device 120. That is, over a communication link, the transmitter units may be configured to transmit data associated with the detected analyte levels periodically, and/or intermittently and repeatedly to one or more other devices such as the fluid delivery device and/or the remote terminal 140 for further data processing and analysis.
In one aspect, each of the one or more receiver devices of the analyte monitoring system 110 and the fluid delivery device includes a user interface unit which may include a display unit, an audio output unit such as, for example, a speaker, or any other suitable user interface mechanism for displaying or informing the user of such devices.
The transmitter units of the analyte monitoring system 110 may in one embodiment be configured to transmit the analyte related data substantially in real time to the fluid delivery device 120 and/or the remote terminal 140 after receiving it from the corresponding analyte sensors such that the analyte level such as glucose level of the patient 130 may be monitored in real time. In one aspect, the analyte levels of the patient may be obtained using one or more of a discrete blood glucose testing devices such as blood glucose meters that employ glucose test strips, or continuous analyte monitoring systems such as continuous glucose monitoring systems. In a further embodiment, the analyte monitoring system 110 may include a blood glucose meter such as FreeStyle and Precision meters available from Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc., of Alameda California. The blood glucose meter may be used to calibrate the sensors in the analyte monitoring system 110. Exemplary analyte systems that may be employed are described in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,134,461, 6,175,752, 6,121,611, 6,560,471, 6,746,582, and elsewhere, the disclosures of which are herein incorporated by reference.
Analytes that may be monitored, determined or detected in the analyte monitoring system 110 include, for example, acetyl choline, amylase, amyln, bilirubin, cholesterol, chorionic gonadotropin, creatine kinase (e.g., CK-MB), creatine, DNA, fructosamine, glucose, glutamine, growth hormones, hormones, ketones, lactate, measures for oxidative stress (such as 8-iso PGF2gamma), peroxide, prostate-specific antigen, prothrombin, RNA, thyroid stimulating hormone, and troponin. The concentration of drugs, such as, for example, antibiotics (e.g., gentamicin, vancomycin, and the like), biguanides, digitoxin, digoxin, drugs of abuse, GLP-l, insulin, PPAR agonists, sulfonylureas, theophylline, thiazolidinediones, and warfarin, may also be determined.
Moreover, within the scope of the present disclosure, the transmitter units of the analyte monitoring system 110 may be configured to directly communicate with one or more of the remote terminal 140 or the fluid delivery device 120.
Furthermore, within the scope of the present disclosure, additional devices may be provided for communication in the analyte monitoring system 100 including additional receiver/data processing unit, remote terminals (such as a physician's terminal and/or a bedside terminal in a hospital environment, for example).
In addition, within the scope of the present disclosure, one or more of the analyte monitoring system 110, the fluid delivery device 120 and the remote terminal 140 may be configured to communicate over a wireless data communication link such as, but not limited to RF communication link, Bluetooth communication link, infrared communication link, or any other type of suitable wireless communication connection between two or more electronic devices, which may further be uni-directional or bi-directional communication between the two or more devices. Alternatively, the data communication link may include wired cable connection such as, for example, but not limited to RS232 connection, USB connection, or serial cable connection.
The fluid delivery device 120 may include in one embodiment, but not limited to, an external infusion device such as an external insulin infusion pump, an implantable pump, a pen-type insulin injector device, a patch pump, an inhalable infusion device for nasal insulin delivery, or any other type of suitable delivery system. In addition, the remote terminal 140 in one embodiment may include for example, a desktop computer terminal, a data communication enabled kiosk, a laptop computer, a handheld computing device such as a personal digital assistant (PDAs), or a data communication enabled mobile telephone.
Referring back to FIG. 1, in one embodiment, the analyte monitoring system 110 includes a strip port configured to receive a test strip for capillary blood glucose testing. In one aspect, the glucose level measured using the test strip may in addition, be configured to provide periodic calibration of the analyte sensors of the analyte monitoring system 110 to assure and improve the accuracy of the analyte levels detected by the analyte sensors.
Referring yet again to FIG. 1, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured to include a voice signal activation/generation unit for voice communication with the remote terminal configured as a voice device such as a mobile telephone, a voice enabled personal digital assistant, a Blackberry device, or the like. For example, in one embodiment, the communication between the fluid delivery device 120 and the remote terminal 140 may be voice based such that the information or data output to the user from the fluid delivery device 120 is configured to be transmitted to the user's telephone. In turn, the fluid delivery device 120 may additionally be configured to receive voice commands from the remote terminal 140 configured as a telephone or any other voice signal communication device (such as personal computers or PDAs with voice signal capabilities).
In this manner, in one embodiment, the user interface of the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured with the voice signal activation/generation unit such that, output information for the user is converted into a voice signal and transmitted to the voice signal enabled remote terminal 140. For example, when the fluid delivery device 120 detects an alarm condition, the fluid delivery device 120 is configured to initiate a telephone call to the user's telephone (remote terminal 140), and when the user picks up the telephone line, the user is provided with a voice signal representing the alarm condition.
In a further embodiment, for certain predetermined patient conditions, the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured to initial a telephone call directly to a preprogrammed telephone number of a health care physician, a local hospital, or emergency medical care facilities, in addition to or instead of initiating a telephone call to the user of the fluid delivery device 120.
In addition, within the scope of the present disclosure, interaction and programming of the fluid delivery device 120 may be exclusively or partially exclusively performed over the user's telephone in voice communication with the fluid delivery device 120. That is, when the user wishes to calculate a carbohydrate bolus in the fluid delivery device 120, the user may dial a predetermined number using the user's telephone (remote terminal 140) to connect with the fluid delivery device 120, and the user may provide voice commands to the fluid delivery device 120 via the telephone connection between the user's telephone (remote terminal 140) and the fluid delivery device 120.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an fluid delivery device of FIG. 1 in one embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2, the fluid delivery device 120 in one embodiment includes a processor 210 operatively coupled to a memory unit 240, an input unit 220, a display unit 230, an output unit 260, and a fluid delivery unit 250. In one embodiment, the processor 210 includes a microprocessor that is configured to and capable of controlling the functions of the fluid delivery device 120 by controlling and/or accessing each of the various components of the fluid delivery device 120. In one embodiment, multiple processors may be provided as safety measure and to provide redundancy in case of a single processor failure. Moreover, processing capabilities may be shared between multiple processor units within the fluid delivery device 120 such that pump functions and/or control may be performed faster and more accurately.
Referring back to FIG. 2, the input unit 220 operatively coupled to the processor 210 may include a jog dial key pad buttons, a touch pad screen, or any other suitable input mechanism for providing input commands to the fluid delivery device 120. More specifically, in case of a jog dial input device, or a touch pad screen, for example, the patient or user of the fluid delivery device 120 will manipulate the respective jog dial or touch pad in conjunction with the display unit 230 which performs as both a data input and output unit. The display unit 230 may include a touch sensitive screen, an LCD screen, or any other types of suitable display unit for the fluid delivery device 120 that is configured to display alphanumeric data as well as pictorial information such as icons associated with one or more predefined states of the fluid delivery device 120, or graphical representation of data such as trend charts and graphs associated with the insulin infusion rates, trend data of monitored glucose levels over a period of time, or textual notification to the patients.
In one embodiment, the alphanumeric representation displayed on the display unit 230 may be configured to be modified by the user of the fluid delivery device such that the size of the displayed number or character may be adjusted to suit the user's visual needs. For example, in one embodiment, the user may apply font size adjustment request via the input unit 220 to instruct the processor 210 to modify the size of the displayed number or character on the display unit 230. In one aspect, the font size may be increased or decreased for each character, value or word displayed on the display unit 230.
Alternatively, the font size adjustment may be applied globally to all output settings, for example, under the control of the processor 210 such that the user setting of the size adjustment may be configured to apply to substantially all displayed values or characters on the display unit 230 of the fluid delivery device 120 (FIG. 1).
Moreover, referring back to FIG. 2, in a further aspect of the present disclosure, the relative size adjustment of the displayed character or value may be determined by the processor 210 so that the relative size adjustment may be implemented to the output display on the display unit 230. In this manner, depending upon the type or configuration of the display unit 230 (whether bit map or icon type display), in one embodiment, the display size adjustment may be implemented within the predetermined size restrictions for the respective value or character. For example, a 10% relative increase in the font size for display area designated for insulin dosage level may correspond to a 5% relative increase in the size of the display area designated for the insulin delivery time display.
In one embodiment, the processor 210 may be configured to determine the relative size modification for each area of the display unit 230 based on the user inputted size adjustment values to appropriately apply the relative size differential adjustment.
In a further aspect, the processor 210 may be configured to temporarily increase the font size displayed on the display unit 230 based on the user input commands such that the user requested size modification on the display unit may be implemented only for the displayed screen at the time the user input commands for size adjustment is received by the processor 210. In this manner, the processor may be configured to revert to the previously programmed display size settings for the display unit 230 when the user is no longer viewing the particular displayed screen from which the user has requested font size adjustment.
In addition, the user interface of the receiver unit of the analyte monitoring system 110 (FIG. 1) may be configured with similar size adjustment capabilities so as to allow the user to instruct the controller or processor of the analyte monitoring system 110 to appropriately adjust the size of the displayed character or value on the display unit of the analyte monitoring system 110.
In a further embodiment, the display unit 230 may be configured to display an indication or marker for the type of insulin or other medication being used by the fluid delivery device 120 such as, for example, Symlin and Byetta. Such a marker may, in one embodiment, be associated with a predefined icon or character for display on the display unit 230. In addition, within the scope of the present disclosure, the information associated with the displayed marker or indication may be stored in the memory unit 240 so that the user may retrieve this information as desired. In addition, an indication or a marker for shift work may be programmed in the fluid delivery device 120 (FIG. 1) such that shift workers using the fluid delivery device 120 may align days and nights upon command based on the markers.
For example, if a user worked nightshifts on Mondays and Tuesdays and dayshifts on Thursdays and Fridays, this daily work pattern information may be stored, identified or marked in the fluid delivery device 120 to provide additional data management functionalities and a more robust therapy analysis. For example, meal times such as breakfasts, for example, at 8 pm on Monday and 9 pm on Tuesday (during the nightshifts) may be aligned with the breakfasts at 7 am on Thursday and 8 am on Friday. In this manner, the user may conveniently access meal (e.g., breakfast) related data and associated therapy information in conjunction with the operation of the fluid delivery device 120. This may assist the user in improving upon the user's diet such as the daily food intake.
Referring to FIG. 2, the output unit 260 operatively coupled to the processor 210 may include an audible alarm or alarms including one or more tones and/or preprogrammed or programmable tunes or audio clips, or vibratory alert features having one or more pre-programmed or programmable vibratory alert levels.
In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, each alert event or alarm event may be programmed with combined notification features such that, depending upon the level of importance associated with each alert or alarm, a combination of vibratory, audible, or displayed indications may be provided to the user using the display unit 230 in combination with the output unit 260.
As described below, within the scope of the present disclosure, there are provided user interface features associated with the operation of the various components or devices in a therapy management system such as automatic time change based functions, automatic expiration date detection on test strips, for example, synchronization of the components in the therapy management system, user interface changes based on the user configuration, notification functions for programmable events associated with the therapy management, and voice enabled communication between devices in the therapy management system.

Moreover, within the scope of the present disclosure, the transmitter units of the analyte monitoring system 110 may be configured to directly communicate with one or more of the remote terminal 140 or the fluid delivery device 120.
Furthermore, within the scope of the present disclosure, additional devices may be provided for communication in the analyte monitoring system 100 including additional receiver/data processing unit, remote terminals (such as a physician's terminal and/or a bedside terminal in a hospital environment, for example).
In addition, within the scope of the present disclosure, one or more of the analyte monitoring system 110, the fluid delivery device 120 and the remote terminal 140 may be configured to communicate over a wireless data communication link such as, but not limited to RF communication link, Bluetooth communication link, infrared communication link, or any other type of suitable wireless communication connection between two or more electronic devices, which may further be uni-directional or bi-directional communication between the two or more devices. Alternatively, the data communication link may include wired cable connection such as, for example, but not limited to RS232 connection, USB connection, or serial cable connection.
The fluid delivery device 120 may include in one embodiment, but not limited to, an external infusion device such as an external insulin infusion pump, an implantable pump, a pen-type insulin injector device, a patch pump, an inhalable infusion device for nasal insulin delivery, or any other type of suitable delivery system. In addition, the remote terminal 140 in one embodiment may include for example, a desktop computer terminal, a data communication enabled kiosk, a laptop computer, a handheld computing device such as a personal digital assistant (PDAs), or a data communication enabled mobile telephone.
Referring back to FIG. 1, in one embodiment, the analyte monitoring system 110 includes a strip port configured to receive a test strip for capillary blood glucose testing. In one aspect, the glucose level measured using the test strip may in addition, be configured to provide periodic calibration of the analyte sensors of the analyte monitoring system 110 to assure and improve the accuracy of the analyte levels detected by the analyte sensors.
Referring yet again to FIG. 1, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured to include a voice signal activation/generation unit for voice communication with the remote terminal configured as a voice device such as a mobile telephone, a voice enabled personal digital assistant, a Blackberry device, or the like. For example, in one embodiment, the communication between the fluid delivery device 120 and the remote terminal 140 may be voice based such that the information or data output to the user from the fluid delivery device 120 is configured to be transmitted to the user's telephone. In turn, the fluid delivery device 120 may additionally be configured to receive voice commands from the remote terminal 140 configured as a telephone or any other voice signal communication device (such as personal computers or PDAs with voice signal capabilities).
In this manner, in one embodiment, the user interface of the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured with the voice signal activation/generation unit such that, output information for the user is converted into a voice signal and transmitted to the voice signal enabled remote terminal 140. For example, when the fluid delivery device 120 detects an alarm condition, the fluid delivery device 120 is configured to initiate a telephone call to the user's telephone (remote terminal 140), and when the user picks up the telephone line, the user is provided with a voice signal representing the alarm condition.
In a further embodiment, for certain predetermined patient conditions, the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured to initial a telephone call directly to a preprogrammed telephone number of a health care physician, a local hospital, or emergency medical care facilities, in addition to or instead of initiating a telephone call to the user of the fluid delivery device 120.
In addition, within the scope of the present disclosure, interaction and programming of the fluid delivery device 120 may be exclusively or partially exclusively performed over the user's telephone in voice communication with the fluid delivery device 120. That is, when the user wishes to calculate a carbohydrate bolus in the fluid delivery device 120, the user may dial a predetermined number using the user's telephone (remote terminal 140) to connect with the fluid delivery device 120, and the user may provide voice commands to the fluid delivery device 120 via the telephone connection between the user's telephone (remote terminal 140) and the fluid delivery device 120.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an fluid delivery device of FIG. 1 in one embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2, the fluid delivery device 120 in one embodiment includes a processor 210 operatively coupled to a memory unit 240, an input unit 220, a display unit 230, an output unit 260, and a fluid delivery unit 250. In one embodiment, the processor 210 includes a microprocessor that is configured to and capable of controlling the functions of the fluid delivery device 120 by controlling and/or accessing each of the various components of the fluid delivery device 120. In one embodiment, multiple processors may be provided as safety measure and to provide redundancy in case of a single processor failure. Moreover, processing capabilities may be shared between multiple processor units within the fluid delivery device 120 such that pump functions and/or control may be performed faster and more accurately.
Referring back to FIG. 2, the input unit 220 operatively coupled to the processor 210 may include a jog dial key pad buttons, a touch pad screen, or any other suitable input mechanism for providing input commands to the fluid delivery device 120. More specifically, in case of a jog dial input device, or a touch pad screen, for example, the patient or user of the fluid delivery device 120 will manipulate the respective jog dial or touch pad in conjunction with the display unit 230 which performs as both a data input and output unit. The display unit 230 may include a touch sensitive screen, an LCD screen, or any other types of suitable display unit for the fluid delivery device 120 that is configured to display alphanumeric data as well as pictorial information such as icons associated with one or more predefined states of the fluid delivery device 120, or graphical representation of data such as trend charts and graphs associated with the insulin infusion rates, trend data of monitored glucose levels over a period of time, or textual notification to the patients.
In one embodiment, the alphanumeric representation displayed on the display unit 230 may be configured to be modified by the user of the fluid delivery device such that the size of the displayed number or character may be adjusted to suit the user's visual needs. For example, in one embodiment, the user may apply font size adjustment request via the input unit 220 to instruct the processor 210 to modify the size of the displayed number or character on the display unit 230. In one aspect, the font size may be increased or decreased for each character, value or word displayed on the display unit 230.
Alternatively, the font size adjustment may be applied globally to all output settings, for example, under the control of the processor 210 such that the user setting of the size adjustment may be configured to apply to substantially all displayed values or characters on the display unit 230 of the fluid delivery device 120 (FIG. 1).
Moreover, referring back to FIG. 2, in a further aspect of the present disclosure, the relative size adjustment of the displayed character or value may be determined by the processor 210 so that the relative size adjustment may be implemented to the output display on the display unit 230. In this manner, depending upon the type or configuration of the display unit 230 (whether bit map or icon type display), in one embodiment, the display size adjustment may be implemented within the predetermined size restrictions for the respective value or character. For example, a 10% relative increase in the font size for display area designated for insulin dosage level may correspond to a 5% relative increase in the size of the display area designated for the insulin delivery time display.
In one embodiment, the processor 210 may be configured to determine the relative size modification for each area of the display unit 230 based on the user inputted size adjustment values to appropriately apply the relative size differential adjustment.
In a further aspect, the processor 210 may be configured to temporarily increase the font size displayed on the display unit 230 based on the user input commands such that the user requested size modification on the display unit may be implemented only for the displayed screen at the time the user input commands for size adjustment is received by the processor 210. In this manner, the processor may be configured to revert to the previously programmed display size settings for the display unit 230 when the user is no longer viewing the particular displayed screen from which the user has requested font size adjustment.
In addition, the user interface of the receiver unit of the analyte monitoring system 110 (FIG. 1) may be configured with similar size adjustment capabilities so as to allow the user to instruct the controller or processor of the analyte monitoring system 110 to appropriately adjust the size of the displayed character or value on the display unit of the analyte monitoring system 110.
In a further embodiment, the display unit 230 may be configured to display an indication or marker for the type of insulin or other medication being used by the fluid delivery device 120 such as, for example, Symlin and Byetta. Such a marker may, in one embodiment, be associated with a predefined icon or character for display on the display unit 230. In addition, within the scope of the present disclosure, the information associated with the displayed marker or indication may be stored in the memory unit 240 so that the user may retrieve this information as desired. In addition, an indication or a marker for shift work may be programmed in the fluid delivery device 120 (FIG. 1) such that shift workers using the fluid delivery device 120 may align days and nights upon command based on the markers.
For example, if a user worked nightshifts on Mondays and Tuesdays and dayshifts on Thursdays and Fridays, this daily work pattern information may be stored, identified or marked in the fluid delivery device 120 to provide additional data management functionalities and a more robust therapy analysis. For example, meal times such as breakfasts, for example, at 8 pm on Monday and 9 pm on Tuesday (during the nightshifts) may be aligned with the breakfasts at 7 am on Thursday and 8 am on Friday. In this manner, the user may conveniently access meal (e.g., breakfast) related data and associated therapy information in conjunction with the operation of the fluid delivery device 120. This may assist the user in improving upon the user's diet such as the daily food intake.
Referring to FIG. 2, the output unit 260 operatively coupled to the processor 210 may include an audible alarm or alarms including one or more tones and/or preprogrammed or programmable tunes or audio clips, or vibratory alert features having one or more pre-programmed or programmable vibratory alert levels.
In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, each alert event or alarm event may be programmed with combined notification features such that, depending upon the level of importance associated with each alert or alarm, a combination of vibratory, audible, or displayed indications may be provided to the user using the display unit 230 in combination with the output unit 260.
For example, the processor 210 may be configured to provide combined vibratory and increasingly audible alerts on the output unit 260 in addition to intermittently flashing background light on the display unit 230 for one or more predetermined alarms that require immediate user attention. An example may include unexpected pressure increase in the infusion tubing which may indicate an occlusion or other undesirable condition that the user should be immediately notified. The processor 210 may be configured such that the alarm or alert may be automatically reasserted within a predetermined time period in the event the associated alarm or alert condition has not been cleared by the user. In addition, each alert/alarm feature may be individually programmed to include a wide selection of tones, audible levels, vibratory strength, and intensity of visual display.
In a further aspect, the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured to provide an alarm or alert indication associated with a change in temperature.
That is, when the fluid delivery device 120 which contains the insulin (for example, in a reservoir) experiences a rise or drop in temperature, such change in the temperature may have adverse effect on the insulin contained within the device 120. Accordingly, a temperature sensor may be coupled to the processor 210 of the fluid delivery device 120 to detect the operating condition of the fluid delivery device 120 and to notify the user of changes in the temperature, when, for example, the temperature change reaches a predetermined threshold level that may potentially have adverse impact upon the efficacy of the insulin being delivered.
Also shown in FIG. 2 is the fluid delivery unit 250 which is operatively coupled to the processor 210 and configured to deliver the insulin doses or amounts to the patient from the insulin reservoir or any other types of suitable containment for insulin to be delivered (not shown) in the fluid delivery device 120 via an infusion set coupled to a subcutaneously positioned cannula under the skin of the patient.
Referring yet again to FIG. 2, the memory unit 240 may include one or more of a random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), or any other type of data storage unit that is configured to store data as well as program instructions for access by the processor 210 and execution to control the fluid delivery device 120 and/or to perform data processing based on data received from the analyte monitoring system 110, the remote terminal 140, the patient or any other data input source.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the time zone detection procedure in the therapy management system in one embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 3, the fluid delivery device 120 (FIG. 1) may be configured to transmit a location position request to for example, a global positioning system (GPS). Thereafter, the location information is received by the processor 210 of the fluid delivery device 120. The processor 210 is further configured to determine whether the location information has changed. That is, the processor 210 in one embodiment is configured to compare the receive location information which may include a current time zone information associated with the location of the fluid delivery device 120, with the previously stored and operating time zone information in the fluid delivery device 120 in operation.
Referring back, if it is determined that the location information has not changed, then the routine terminates. On the other hand, if it is determined that the fluid delivery device location information has changed, then, the location change information is output to the user on the display unit 230, for example.
Thereafter, the processor 210 may be configured to generate a user prompt or notification to modify the time zone information of the fluid delivery device such that it is updated to the new location where the fluid delivery device 120 is operating.
For example, when the fluid delivery device 120 is programmed with predetermined basal profiles and/or bolus functions that are time based and associated with an internal clock of the fluid delivery device 120, it may be desired to modify some or all of the time based insulin delivery profiles programmed in the fluid delivery device 120 so as to correspond to the location of the fluid delivery device 120. More specifically, if a user is traveling from a first location to a second location in which one or more time zones are traversed, e.g., by way of example from San Francisco to Paris, given the time difference, the meal times, and sleep times, for example, will change. In this case, it may be desirable to modify the preprogrammed time based insulin delivery profiles so that they are synchronized with the user events such as meals and sleep times.
In a further aspect, the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured to provide an alarm or alert indication associated with a change in temperature.
That is, when the fluid delivery device 120 which contains the insulin (for example, in a reservoir) experiences a rise or drop in temperature, such change in the temperature may have adverse effect on the insulin contained within the device 120. Accordingly, a temperature sensor may be coupled to the processor 210 of the fluid delivery device 120 to detect the operating condition of the fluid delivery device 120 and to notify the user of changes in the temperature, when, for example, the temperature change reaches a predetermined threshold level that may potentially have adverse impact upon the efficacy of the insulin being delivered.
Also shown in FIG. 2 is the fluid delivery unit 250 which is operatively coupled to the processor 210 and configured to deliver the insulin doses or amounts to the patient from the insulin reservoir or any other types of suitable containment for insulin to be delivered (not shown) in the fluid delivery device 120 via an infusion set coupled to a subcutaneously positioned cannula under the skin of the patient.
Referring yet again to FIG. 2, the memory unit 240 may include one or more of a random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), or any other type of data storage unit that is configured to store data as well as program instructions for access by the processor 210 and execution to control the fluid delivery device 120 and/or to perform data processing based on data received from the analyte monitoring system 110, the remote terminal 140, the patient or any other data input source.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the time zone detection procedure in the therapy management system in one embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 3, the fluid delivery device 120 (FIG. 1) may be configured to transmit a location position request to for example, a global positioning system (GPS). Thereafter, the location information is received by the processor 210 of the fluid delivery device 120. The processor 210 is further configured to determine whether the location information has changed. That is, the processor 210 in one embodiment is configured to compare the receive location information which may include a current time zone information associated with the location of the fluid delivery device 120, with the previously stored and operating time zone information in the fluid delivery device 120 in operation.
Referring back, if it is determined that the location information has not changed, then the routine terminates. On the other hand, if it is determined that the fluid delivery device location information has changed, then, the location change information is output to the user on the display unit 230, for example.
Thereafter, the processor 210 may be configured to generate a user prompt or notification to modify the time zone information of the fluid delivery device such that it is updated to the new location where the fluid delivery device 120 is operating.
For example, when the fluid delivery device 120 is programmed with predetermined basal profiles and/or bolus functions that are time based and associated with an internal clock of the fluid delivery device 120, it may be desired to modify some or all of the time based insulin delivery profiles programmed in the fluid delivery device 120 so as to correspond to the location of the fluid delivery device 120. More specifically, if a user is traveling from a first location to a second location in which one or more time zones are traversed, e.g., by way of example from San Francisco to Paris, given the time difference, the meal times, and sleep times, for example, will change. In this case, it may be desirable to modify the preprogrammed time based insulin delivery profiles so that they are synchronized with the user events such as meals and sleep times.
Referring back to FIG. 3, in one embodiment, the user responds to the time based programming change prompt provided by the processor 210, then the processor 210 may be configured in one embodiment, to propagate the time change associated with the preprogrammed insulin delivery profile and notify the user to confirm the changes, prior to implementing the modification to the delivery profiles and any associated alerts or notifications. For example, in the case where the user has programmed to be alerted at a particular time of day, e.g., noon each day, for a bolus determination prior to lunch, the processor 210 in one embodiment is configured to either modify the internal clock of the fluid delivery device 120 or alternatively, modify the programmed alert for bolus determination so as to correspond to the new location of the user and the fluid delivery device 120.
In another embodiment, the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured to include a time zone detection unit, such as for example, the processor 210 may be configured to communicate with a geographical location change detection mechanism (e.g., an atomic clock) operatively coupled to the processor 210 for performing the time zone detection procedure as described above in conjunction with FIG. 3. In addition, the analyte monitoring system 110 may be configured to include a time zone detection unit as described above to automatically or based on a preprogrammed procedure, detect any location change associated with the analyte monitoring system 110. In this manner, the analyte monitoring system 110 may be configured to automatically or based on a preprogrammed procedure, implement modifications to functions associated with the operation of the analyte monitoring system 110 that are temporally associated with the time of day information.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating the time zone detection procedure in the therapy management system in another embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 4, the fluid delivery device 120 (FIG. 1) may be configured to transmit a location position request to for example, a global positioning system (GPS). Thereafter, the location information is received by the processor 210 of the fluid delivery device 120. The processor 210 is further configured to determine whether the location information has changed. That is, the processor 210 in one embodiment is configured to compare the receive location information which may include a current time zone information associated with the location of the fluid delivery device 120, with the previously stored and operating time zone information in the fluid delivery device 120 in operation.
Referring back, if it is determined that the location information has not changed, then the routine terminates. On the other hand, if it is determined that the fluid delivery device 3301ocation information has changed, then, the processor 210 in one embodiment is configured to retrieve one or more time based programmed functions from the memory unit 240 of the fluid delivery device 120, for example.
Thereafter, the processor 210 may be further configured to modify the retrieved time based preprogrammed functions in accordance with the location change information received. Then, the modified retrieved functions are provided to the user on the display unit 230, for example, to request confirmation of the time based adjustments, prior to the processor 210 executing the modified retrieved functions.
In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured to detect for daylight savings time and the processor 210 may be configured to either automatically execute the time change in the internal clock of the fluid delivery device, and/or provide a user notification to accept such time based change so that the operation of the fluid delivery device 120 performing time based programs are updated with any time based change in the insulin delivery system 120 operating environment.
Within the scope of the present disclosure, the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured to receive location information from any positioning system which provides updated time information based on location. The fluid delivery device 120 may be configured with a positioning transceiver that is configured to transmit location information request to a satellite network, for example, and to receive the location information therefrom.
Alternatively, the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured to update its location information locally upon synchronization with another device operating in the local (or at the new location). This may include a host computer terminal connectable to the fluid delivery device 120 such as, for example, the remote terminal 140 (FIG. 1), the analyte monitoring system 110, or any other electronic device operating in the new location with communication capabilities with the fluid delivery device 120 such as a cellular telephone, a personal digital assistant, and the like.
In addition, within the scope of the present disclosure, the procedure and processes described in conjunction with FIGS. 3-4 associated with location change information and corresponding modification to the time based preprogrammed functions in the fluid delivery device 120 may be provided to the analyte monitoring system 110 such that the analyte monitoring system 110 is also configured to receive new location information and correspondingly perform modifications to any time based preprogrammed functions.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the device synchronization procedure in the therapy management system in one embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 5, in one embodiment the fluid delivery device 120 (FIG. 1) may be configured to detect a synchronization request from another device such as the remote terminal 140 or the analyte monitoring system 110 (FIG. 1).

Referring back to FIG. 5, the fluid delivery device 120 is configured in one embodiment to transmit its programmed and operating settings to the connected device, and the connected device is configured to update and store the data received from the fluid delivery device 120 based on predetermined conditions.
For example, the predetermined conditions may include a predefined set of rules associated with the type of data from the fluid delivery device 120 to be updated such as historical infusion related information, programmed functions in the fluid delivery device 120 such as bolus calculations, temporarily basal profiles, programmed basal profiles, insulin usage level, and any other information that is associated with the user.
In this manner, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, periodic synchronization of the fluid delivery device 120 settings and functions may be synchronized to another device so that when the user replaces the fluid delivery device 120, the new or upgrade fluid delivery device may be easily and readily programmed to the user's specification. The synchronization described above may be configured to be performed periodically at a regular interval such as, once a week, once per day, when certain predefined criteria are met such as when the devices are within a predetermined distance from each other, and/or upon user command.
In addition, within the scope of the present disclosure, the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured with any communication protocol which would allow data transfer between the fluid delivery device 120 and the synchronizing device. This may include, wired or wireless communication including for example, Bluetooth protocol, 801.1x protocol, USB cable connection and the like.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating device condition notification function in the therapy management system in one embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 6 the fluid delivery device 120 may be configured to detect a notification condition. For example, the processor 210 may be configured to detect such notification conditions at a preprogrammed time interval (such as about every 24 hours, for example). Thereafter, the programmed profile associated with the condition is retrieved. An example of the programmed profile associated with the condition includes a reminder to start an overnight fast for the user.
Referring back to FIG. 6, the processor 210 in one embodiment is further configured to generate a message associated with the notification condition and/or the retrieved programmed profile, and, the generated message is provided to the user on one or more of the display unit 230 or the output unit 260. In this manner, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fluid delivery device 120 may be programmed with automatic reminders for conditions to assist the user to improve insulin therapy management.
In one embodiment, the notification condition detection may be skipped and the processor 210 may be configured to retrieve the appropriate programmed profile associated with notification conditions based on the user programming of the fluid delivery device 120. Additionally, while a reminder for overnight fast is described as an example, any other therapy related reminders or device operating condition reminders may be programmed for execution by the processor 210 to remind the user. Examples of such reminders include, but are not limited to, infusion set replacement reminder, battery replacement reminder, data synchronization reminder, insulin replenishment reminder, glucose testing reminder, and the like.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating automatic time information detection function incorporated in a medical device such as a blood glucose meter of the analyte monitoring system 110 in one embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 7, when the medical device active state is detected (710) for example, by the user initiated power on procedure of the medical device such as a blood glucose meter, a routine is called by the processor of the medical device to automatically initiate time acquisition protocol. That is, upon power on of the medical device, the device is automatically configured to perform time acquisition protocol to, among others, transmit request for time and/or date information to available communication channels, and upon receiving the information, to store, update and/or otherwise set and/or display the received or acquired time/date information in the medical device (720-740).
Referring back to FIG. 7, in one embodiment, the time information is received at step 730, and thereafter, the received time information is stored and/or displayed on a display unit of the medical device. In one aspect, the medical device is configured to update all previously stored time associated data (for example, blood glucose readings taken at certain times of the day (or week, month, or any other time period)). More specifically, in one embodiment, when the medical device such as the blood glucose meter is activated by the user, the processor or controller of the glucose meter is configured to enable or activate time/date receiver (for example, a communication component such as a radio frequency transceiver coupled to the processor of the glucose meter). The time/date receiver in one embodiment is configured to seek or acquire automatically, upon activation, time and date information from one or more available communication networks within range. For example, the time/date receiver may be configured to detect the time/date information from one or more radio frequencies on public, government, or private airwaves using AM band short frequency or FM band long wave frequency. Alternatively, as discussed above, current local time/date information may be received from global positioning satellites, as well as cellular telephone networks such as GSM, CDMA, AMPS, and the like within range of the time/date receiver in the medical device.
Additionally, WiFi network may be used to receive the time/data information, if available and within range.
In this manner, in one embodiment, the medical device such as a blood glucose meter, may be configured to automatically acquire time information that is continuously broadcast on frequency which antenna and the receiver of the blood glucose meter is configured to operate. Upon obtaining and verifying the time and date information, the internal clock function or component is updated or adjusted with the acquired time/date information and displayed to the user, for example.
In a further embodiment, the medical device such as a blood glucose meter may be configured to use GMT time as the reference time for all log entry (for example, for each blood glucose test performed) timestamps associated with each data stored in the medical device. Thereafter, the medical device may be configured to convert the stored GMT based time information for each log entry stored in the medical device to the local time based on the location of the medical device.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating automatic time information detection function incorporated in a medical device such as a blood glucose meter in another embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 8, in one embodiment, the automatic time acquisition protocol is initiated based on a detection of one or more changed or preconfigured parameters associated with the medical device and/or the user of the medical device. For example, the device parameter may include a preconfigured time for periodically checking for time and date information (such as every 24 hours, 48 hours, or based on a programmed calendar such as to compensate for daylight savings time change).
Alternatively, the device parameter may include an environmental condition change associated with the medical device or the user, such as a detection of the medical device location such as during travel by air or a vehicle.
That is, in one embodiment, the medical device may be configured to include an altimeter which is coupled to the processor of the medical device to detect a change in altitude of the medical device location for example, when the user of the medical device is traveling by air. In such a case, the medical device may be configured to initiate the time acquisition protocol to confirm or verify the time and date information of the medical device.
Further, the medical device may include an accelerometer which may be configured to initiate the automatic time acquisition protocol on the medical device when a predetermined threshold level of acceleration force is reached.
Within the scope of the present disclosure, other parameters may be used in conjunction with the medical device to trigger the automatic time acquisition protocol on the medical device such that, without user intervention, prompting, or initiating, the medical device is configured to automatically initiate time and date information acquisition routine. In addition, the functionality of the automatic time and date information acquisition may be incorporated in other medical devices such as infusion pumps, continuous glucose monitoring devices, heart rate monitors, and the like that are configured to maintain a time associated log of physiological data (such as glucose levels, insulin infusion rates, cardiac signal levels and so on) of a patient or a user.
FIGS. 9A-9C illustrate embodiments of automatic expiration detection function on blood glucose meter test strips in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. Presently, test strips for use with blood glucose meters are sold or made available in containers that include the expiration date information of the test strips contained therein. For diabetic patients or healthcare providers using glucose meters, it is important to check the expiration information of the test strip before testing for glucose levels so that the obtained results are accurate.
