Definitions
- This invention relates to a blood glucose measurement device. It also relates a retrofit plug-in device or an integrated device for a mobile communication device which includes a means for capturing or measuring blood glucose levels. It also relates to a method of operation of such a diabetes educational system.
- the term communication device refers to any portable/mobile communication device that is able to support a communication connection with a custom designed measuring device for measuring blood glucose levels.
- the term measuring device refers to the retrofit plug-in device or part of the integrated mobile phone responsible for measuring blood glucose values.
- the main advantage of this invention is the integration of a mobile communication r device with said measuring device with a means for measuring blood glucose levels. Therefore said user will have the added convenience of only carrying a single device incorporating both the communication device and measurement device. Both the combined weight and size will be less than that of two seperated devices.
- the development cost of said measuring device is reduced by using internal hardware of said mobile communication device for part of the processing, storing and output of any relevant data. These components are common to most electronic blood glucose measurement devices. The diabetic user will therefore be able to measure blood glucose levels more conveniently and more discreetly.
- Figure 1a shows the configuration of the blood glucose measuring device being fully integrated into said mobile communication device.
- Figure 1b shows the configuration of the blood glucose measuring device being implemented as a separate plug-in or retrofit device to the mobile communication device.
- Figure 2 shows the possible hardware block diagram indicating the communication of the measuring means (blood glucose sensing device) with the mobile communication device.
- This invention is a device comprising at least a measuring means for measuring blood glucose levels and a communication means to communicate measured information with the communciation device (i.e. phone) or receive instructions from the communication device.
- Said measuring device also comprises a processing means to interpret measured signals.
- Said measuring device can be fully integrated into the communication device ( Figure 1a) to form a new mobile communication device with a built in blood glucose level measuring device. It can also be implemented as a separate plug in device ( Figure 1b) able of measuring blood glucose level and communicating measurement data through to said mobile communication device.
- the advantage of the last being backward compatibility with exisitng technologies.
- Figure 1a shows the blood glucose level measurement device being fully integrated into a mobile communication device.
- a possible layout is shown in Figure 1a with a slot 3 in said mobile communication device 2 for receiving a blood glucose test strip 4.
- the output means of the mobile communication device is used to indicate the measured data and also any possible relevant data that seems necessary.
- Figure 1b shows the external plug-in device configuration for integrating the blood glucose sensing device with the mobile communication device.
- External plug in device 6 containing said blood glucose level sensor receives a blood glucose test strip 4 through test strip slot 3 and communicate measured data to mobile communication device 5 through the data ports 7 of said mobile communication device.
- the system can be activated by either pressing a button on the device, selecting the software application from the menu of the mobile communication device, inserting a test strip 4 into the Glucose sensor slot 3 or by plugging an external unit that measures blood glucose levels into the data port of the phone/device.
- Measured data can be processed and indicated on the output means by a software application controlling the processing means of the mobile communication device and/or the blood glucose level sensing device.
- Relevant data can be logged over time, date and other data in the storage means of the mobile communication device and/or the blood glucose level sensing device.
- Measured data logged with time, date and other data in the storage means of the mobile communication device and/or the blood glucose level sensing device can be communicated through by any communication means of the mobile communication device to other devices.
- Figure 2 shows the possible hardware block diagram indicating the communication of the measuring means (blood glucose sensing device) with the hardware components of the mobile communication device.
