Benefits of technology

[0014] Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a method for continually or continuously measuring an analyte present in a biological system, wherein raw signals are obtained from a suitable sensing apparatus, and then subjected to signal processing is techniques. More particularly, the raw signals undergo a data screening method in order to eliminate outlier signals and/or poor (incorrect) signals using a predefined set of selection criteria. In addition, or alternatively, the raw signal can be converted in a conversion step which (i) removes or corrects for background information, (ii) integrates the raw signal over a sensing time period, (iii) performs any process which converts the raw signal from one signal type to another, or (iv) performs any combination of steps (i), (ii) and/or (iii). In preferred embodiments, the conversion step entails a baseline background subtraction

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, improper administration of insulin therapy can result in hypoglycemic episodes, which can cause coma and death.
However, the pain and inconvenience associated with this blood sampling, along with the fear of hypoglycemia

Signal Processing for Measurement of Blood Glucose

[0173] In order to assess the signal processing methods of the present invention, an iontophoretic sampling device was used to extract a series of 525 blood glucose samples from an experimental population of human subjects, and non-processed measurement values were compared against measurement values obtained using the data screening and correction algorithm of the present invention.

[0174] More particularly, iontophoretic sampling was performed on subjects using a Glucowatch™ (Cygnus, Inc., Redwood City, Calif.) iontophoretic sampling system. This transdermal sampling device, which is designed to be worn like a wrist watch, uses iontophoresis (electroosmosis) to extract glucose analyte into a collection pad worn beneath the watch. Glucose collected into the GlucoWatch™ sampling system triggers an electrochemical reaction with a reagent in the pad, giving rise to a current which is sensed, measured, and converted to a blood glucose ...

Abstract

A method is provided for continually or continuously measuring the concentration of target chemical analytes present in a biological system, and processing analyte-specific signals to obtain a measurement value that is closely correlated with the concentration of the target chemical analyte in the biological system. One important application of the invention involves a method for signal processing in a system for monitoring blood glucose values.
