Device and Method for Automatic Data Acquisition and/or Detection

Abstract

Methods and devices for providing diabetes management including automatic time acquisition protocol is provided.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A machine-executed method of continuous analyte monitoring for a host to facilitate management of the host's blood glucose level, the method comprising:
 receiving a first input from a timekeeping/scheduling module executed by an electronic device, the first input including information about an upcoming event;   receiving a second input from a continuous analyte monitoring (CAM) device including analyte concentration data of the host;   processing the first and second inputs by analyzing an event or an operational mode associated with either of the timekeeping/scheduling module or the CAM device; and   producing an output by synchronizing the event or the operational mode of at least one of the timekeeping/scheduling module and the CAM device with the other of the timekeeping/scheduling module and the CAM device.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the output is to the timekeeping/scheduling module to schedule an event. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the event is to eat, to obtain a reference glucose value, or to inject insulin. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the wherein the output is sent to a user, a caretaker, a parent, a guardian, or a healthcare professional. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the output is a recommendation provided via screen prompt. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the output is a change in the operating mode of the electronic device. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the operating mode is a vibrate mode or a silent mode. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the processing comprises analyzing a user's blood glucose data. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the event is insertion of a new continuous analyte sensor or to eat. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the output is a recommendation. 
     
     
         12 . The method  claim 11 , wherein the recommendation is a therapy, to call a caretaker, to send data to a caretaker, to send data to a doctor, to eat a meal, to replace a sensor, to calibrate a sensor, to check blood glucose, to upload or sync data to a cloud computing system. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the recommendation is provided via screen prompt.
