Wearable continuous blood glucose monitoring system for smartwatches
The patent US12073075B2 outlines a method for managing glucose state alerts through a smartwatch. The process begins with the smartwatch receiving an alert that indicates a glucose state of a host-patient, which may include a glucose value or a rate of change that meets specific criteria. In response to this alert, the smartwatch detects a predetermined action, such as a physical button press or specific wrist movement, which prompts the device to generate a glance view of glucose information. The smartwatch then selects an appropriate view from multiple options based on the glucose state and presents this information as a glance view. Additionally, the smartwatch can hand off this glance view to another device, such as a smartphone or tablet, to display more detailed content.
The patent further details various features of the method, including the use of low-power radio access transceivers for alert reception, which may utilize technologies like Bluetooth or NFC. The smartwatch can also provide feedback through haptic, audio, or visual indicators upon detecting the predetermined action. The glance view can be customized based on the user's role or specific glucose states, and it may include a notification bar with actionable selections. The method allows for the reception of multiple alerts, enabling the smartwatch to present different glance views as needed. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive approach to monitoring and displaying glucose information in a user-friendly manner through smart wearable technology.
