An analyte monitor includes a sensor, a sensor control unit, and a display unit. The sensor has, for example, a substrate, a recessed channel formed in the substrate, and conductive material disposed in the recessed channel to form a working electrode. The sensor control unit typically has a housing adapted for placement on skin and is adapted to receive a portion of an electrochemical sensor. The sensor control unit also includes two or more conductive contacts disposed on the housing and configured for coupling to two or more contact pads on the sensor. A transmitter is disposed in the housing and coupled to the plurality of conductive contacts for transmitting data obtained using the sensor. The display unit has a receiver for receiving data transmitted by the transmitter of the sensor control unit and a display coupled to the receiver for displaying an indication of a level of an analyte. The analyte monitor may also be part of a drug delivery system to alter the level of the analyte based on the data obtained using the sensor.

Analyte Monitoring Device And Methods Of Use

A medical device module for use in a system with a personal data assistant (PDA) with at least one medical device includes a housing, at least one medical device and a processor. The housing is adapted to couple with the PDA. The at least one medical device interface is coupled to the housing for interfacing with the at least one medical device. The processor is coupled to the at least one medical device interface to process data from the at least one medical device. The processor is also capable of interfacing with the PDA.

A heart monitoring system for a person includes one or more wireless nodes; and a wearable appliance in communication with the one or more wireless nodes, the appliance monitoring vital signs.

Health monitoring appliance

A detecting, monitoring and reporting system includes a sensor device (10) which generates data indicative of physiological parameters of an individual and data derived therefrom when placed in proximity with the body. A remote central monitoring unit (30) generates analytical status data from the data indicative of physiological parameters, the derived data, and analytical status data that has previously been generated. A data storage device stores the data received and generated by the central monitoring unit (30). The system includes means (50, 55) for establishing electronic communication between the sensor device (10) and the central monitoring unit (30), and means for transmitting the data to a recipient. The sensor device (10) may also generate data indicative of contextual parameters of the individual, which may then be used when generating the analytical status data. The system may be used for monitoring and providing feedback relating to the degree to which an individual has followed a suggested routine.

System for monitoring health, wellness and fitness

The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for transcutaneous measurement of glucose in a host.

Transcutaneous analyte sensor

A personal digital assistant (PDA) (10) stores data from physiological monitors (12) so that the data can be used in various software applications. In different embodiments the physiological monitor (12) can include data storage or have memory modules that are accepted by accessory slots (48 and 50).

Physiological monitor and associated computation, display and communication unit

A system for assisting a person to maintain a blood glucose level between predetermined limits comprises: an electric device (380), comprising a display (382), a clock, a memory, and a processor; and a software program executable by the processor of the electronic device (380), adapted to receive nutritional data of food consumed by the person, adapted to calculate the blood glucose level for the person using the nutritional data and a glycemic response model for the person, and further adapted to present the blood glucose level to the person on the display (382) of the electronic device (380).

Closed loop glycemic index system

Portable computing apparatus (20) for aiding a user in the monitoring of the consumption of consumable items, such as food items or prescribed medicaments, and reordering such items includes a common database for use in monitoring the items as consumed, and for preparing the reorder list at the proper time. The apparatus preferably includes an imaging device (26) for recording the image of the item to be consumed, and recognition circuitry for utilizing the recorded image to identify the item and also to provide information concerning is nutritional content in a weight management program. The consumable item may also be identified in other manners, such as by a barcode reader (23), or a voice-recognition circuit utilizing a microphone (25).

Portable computing apparatus particularly useful in a weight management program

A wrist-mounted device (50) for assisting a person to maintain a calorie balance goal comprises; a processor (10), a display (12), a barcode reader (20), input mechanisms for active (82) and resting states (00), a blood glucose sensor (20), and a communications network (250).

Physiological monitoring using wrist-mounted device

A method for assisting a person create a record of food items consumed by the person comprises the capturing of food images corresponding to food items consumed, for example by creating an image using an optical image sensor; recording the food images in the memory of an electronic device; viewing the food images on the display of the electronic device, so as to identify food items consumed; selecting food item identifiers corresponding to the food images; and recording food item identifiers in a memory, so as to create a record of food items consumed.
