Data management unit and method operating same

Abstract

The present invention refers to data management unit comprising a data storage (130) adapted to store a plurality of measurement values of the physiological parameter,preferably a blood glucose level, for each measurement value an associated event tag, for each measurement value an associated time stamp, - an associated time range for tagging preselection for each of at least two meal events, each time range is preferably user-settable, preferably also for a fasting event an associated time range for tagging preselection, this time range is preferably user-settable, a processor (140) adapted to receive a new measurement value from the data storage (130) or from a measurement unit (110), which is preferably at least shortly connected for data transfer, assign an associated time stamp to the new measurement value, if an associated time stamp does not yet exist with the new measurement value, receive selection data containing the information that the user has selected and / or confirmed one of a 'before meal' tag and an 'after meal' tag with regard to the new measurement value, automatically select an additional associated tag referring to one of the at least two meal events and preferably also of the fasting event based on the selection data and on a comparison of the time stamp of the new measurement value with the associated time ranges for tagging preselection of the at least two meal events and preferably also with the time range for tagging preselection of the fasting event. The invention further refers to a corresponding medical device (100), a corresponding method and computer program for operating a data management unit as well as to a corresponding computer program product.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a data management unit, preferably a medical device such as a blood glucose meter, a method of operating a data management unit, a corresponding computer program and a computer program product. Background technique [0002] The following description of the invention discusses diabetes primarily as a health problem and blood glucose levels as physiological parameters that are controlled in order to assess the effectiveness of prescribed treatments. However, the invention can also be used for other health problems and for the management of other physiological parameter data, such as (a) blood pressure in hypertensive heart disease, (b) cholesterol or Lipoprotein profiles, (c) peak expiratory flow in asthmatics, or (d) condensates in treated hemophiliacs. [0003] Diabetes is a class of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or because the cells do no...

Problems solved by technology

If a fully automatic distribution is performed, the method has the disadvantages mentioned above

In the case of accepting overlapping time windows, it looks confusing to the user and is therefore error-prone, since the user query and thus also the required user confirmation depend on the construction of the time windows
