Systems and methods for remote and host monitoring communications

Abstract

Systems and methods for remote and host monitoring communication are disclosed. In some implementations, monitoring systems can comprise a host monitoring device associated with a Host communicatively coupled to one or more remote monitoring devices associated with Remote Monitors. The host monitoring device can send communications based at least in part on analyte measurements of a Host sensor and/or other contextual data giving such measurements context. Different remote monitoring devices can receive different communications based at least in part on the role of the respective Remote Monitors relative to the Host. These roles can be reflected in classifications of Remote Monitors.

Benefits of technology

[0018]In some embodiments, a method for remote monitoring of a subject's health data by authorized monitors includes receiving, at a secure server, data associated with an analyte state of a host that is provided by a host device operable to receive sensor data generated by a continuous analyte sensor worn by the host, in which one or more remote monitoring devices are authorized by the secure server to access permissible data of the received data stored on the secure server based on a set of permissions pre-selected and modifiable by the host for each remote monitoring device, in which the permissions are associated with what data is available to a remote monitoring device once authorized, and in which the one or more remote monitoring devices are assigned notification rules that define circumstances to send a message to a respective remote monitoring device informative of an event associated with the analyte state of the host, in which the notification rules are modifiable by the authorized remote monitoring devices within a scope of the set of permissions to the data associated with the respective remote monitoring device; processing, by the server, an alert informative of a dangerous event associated with the analyte state of the host, in which the processed alert is within a set of notification rules associated with at least one of the authorized remote monitoring devices; receiving, by the server, an instruction to suppress sending the message associated with the alert to the at least one of the authorized remote monitoring devices; and suppressing, by the server, the sending of the message to the at least one of the auth

Problems solved by technology

In a diabetic state, the patient can suffer from high blood sugar, which can cause an array of physiological derangements, such as kidney failure, skin ulcers, or bleeding into the vitreous of the eye, which can be associated with the deterioration of small blood vessels.

A diabetic can carry an analyte monitor such as a self-monitoring blood glucose (“SMBG”) monitor, which typically requires uncomfortable finger pricking methods.

Due to the lack of comfort and convenience, a diabetic typically m
