Embodiment Construction

[0018] reference now figure 1 , showing a diabetic patient 100 and a healthcare professional 102 in a clinical setting. Diabetic patients 100 may be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, pre-diabete, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, etc. Healthcare providers for diabetes are diverse and include nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, endocrinologists, and others and are collectively referred to as healthcare professionals.

[0019] During a health care consultation, the patient 100 typically shares with the health care professional 102 blood glucose (bG) measurements, continuous blood glucose monitor data, the amount and type of insulin administered, the amount of food and beverages consumed, Various data on exercise schedule, health status, and other lifestyle information. The healthcare professional 102 may obtain additional data on the patient 100, such as measurements of weight, blood pressure, triglycerides, plasma glucose, cholesterol levels, and H...

Abstract

A method performed by a medical device for transmitting data packets includes: removing select data fields from a data packet defined in accordance with IEEE standard 11073 to form a modified data packet; determining a length of the modified data packet; determining whether the length of the modified data packet is greater than a predetermined maximum length of data packets under the Bluetooth low energy protocol, as defined in Bluetooth Core Specification version 4.0 or higher; when the length of the modified data packet is greater than the predetermined maximum length of data packets defined under the Bluetooth low energy protocol, partitioning the modified data packet into a plurality of individual data packets, wherein each of the individual data packets includes a portion of the modified data packet; and transmitting the individual data packets via an antenna in accordance with the Bluetooth low energy protocol.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to handheld medical devices, and more particularly, to systems and methods for reducing wireless communication overhead for medical devices. Background technique [0002] People with diabetes have difficulty regulating blood sugar levels in their bodies. As a result, many of these people carry specialized electronic meters called blood glucose meters that allow them to regularly measure their blood sugar levels and take appropriate action, such as insulin administration. These persons may also carry portable communication devices such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants, tablets or similar devices with them. People often rely on their portable communication devices as their primary means for planning, scheduling, and communicating with others. As a result, most portable communication devices are equipped with advanced software that provides a user-friendly means for viewing and entering data. Accordingly, dia...
