Embodiment Construction

[0023] now refer to figure 1 , a person with diabetes 100 and a healthcare professional 102 are shown in a clinical setting. Persons with diabetes include persons with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, type 1 diabetics, type 2 diabetics, and gestational diabetics, and are collectively referred to as patients. Healthcare providers for diabetes are diverse and include nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, and endocrinologists, and are collectively referred to as clinicians.

[0024] During a healthcare consultation, patient 100 typically shares a variety of patient data with clinician 102, including blood glucose measurements, continuous glucose monitoring data, the amount of insulin infused, the amount of food and drink consumed, exercise schedules, and others lifestyle information. Clinician 102 may obtain additional patient data, including measurements of patient 100's HbA1C, cholesterol levels, triglycerides, blood pressure, and weight. Patient data may be recorded manu...

Abstract

A medical device or medical software is provided that supports system extensibility for diabetes care. The medical device or software is comprised of an application and particular data structures that support diabetes care. The data structures include: a patient class that has attributes and methods associated with a person receiving medical treatment for diabetes; a patient log class that has a composition relationship with the patient class and attributes and methods that log actions taken by the patient; a treatment plan class that has a composition relationship with the patient class and attributes and methods that define a series of planned actions related to medical treatment of the patient; and an adherence class that has a composition relationship with the patient log class and attributes and methods define relationships between actions planned for the patient and actions taken by the patient. The application instantiates an object from at least one of the patient log class, the adherence class and the treatment plan class, having only external-to-the-composition knowledge of which objects are instantiated, and performs a function using the instantiated object.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to medical devices for diabetes care, and more particularly to system scalability of medical devices for diabetes care. Background technique [0002] Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes, is a chronic condition in which a person has elevated blood sugar levels caused by a defect in the body's ability to produce and / or use insulin. There are three main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes typically affects children and young adults and can be autoimmune, genetic and / or environmental. Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90-95% of diabetic cases and is associated with obesity and physical inactivity. Gestational diabetes is a form of glucose intolerance that is diagnosed during pregnancy and usually resolves spontaneously with infusions. [0003] In 2009, according to the World Health Organization, at least 220 million people worldwide had diabetes. In 2005, an estimated 1.1 million people died from diabetes. The ...
