[0002] Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices provide a more accurate, safe and efficient means of blood glucose monitoring for hospitalized diabetic patients. This monitoring technology has a significant positive impact on improving patients' treatment outcomes and quality of life. The operation process is as follows: First, the nurse selects the patient in the CGM system and binds the unique number of the CGM device. The patient's CGM device uploads the monitoring data to the blood glucose data management system in real time through the Bluetooth gateway. When the patient is discharged from the hospital, the medical staff is responsible for marking the end of monitoring in the system, and the nurse is responsible for removing the CGM device from the patient.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for converting a usage scenario of a CGM device, comprising the following steps: S1. Obtain the unique number of the CGM device worn by the patient in the first scenario; In step S1, when the patient is hospitalized, the medical staff will put a CGM device on the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the unique number corresponding to the CGM device worn by the patient in the first scenario, so as to facilitate the next step of processing based on the unique number.

[0026] S2. Obtain the current parameters of the CGM device according to the unique number; S3. Generate an authorization key for the second scenario based on the current parameters; In steps S2 to S3, the current parameters of the corresponding CGM device will be calculated based on the unique number obtained in step S1; then the authorization key for the second scenario will be generated based on the current parameters, so that the patient can continue to use the CGM device in the second scenario; wherein the current parameters include the usage time, device model and sensor model; the authorization key is a barcode or a QR code; the authorization key can also be a string of characters.

[0027] S4. The patient continues to use the CGM device to monitor blood glucose in the second scenario using the authorization key until the use cycle of the CGM device ends.

[0028] In step S4, when the patient is discharged from the hospital, the medical staff does not need to remove the CGM device, but can continue to use the CGM device for blood glucose monitoring in the second scenario through the authorization key obtained in step S3 until the use cycle of the CGM device ends.

[0029] Compared with the existing technology, this method optimizes the use process of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) equipment, realizes the saving of medical resources and the improvement of patient monitoring experience; the CGM device is not removed when discharged from the hospital, but an authorization key for the second scenario is generated according to the current parameters, so that the patient can continue to use the device in the second scenario until the end of its usage period according to the authorization key, thereby improving the continuity and effectiveness of blood glucose monitoring, while reducing medical costs, and providing a more economical and convenient blood glucose management method for diabetic patients.

[0030] Preferably, the first scenario is the usage scenario of the first cycle of the CGM device.

[0031] In actual application, the scene conversion in this embodiment can be from within the hospital to outside the hospital, from outside the hospital to within the hospital, or between different hospitals. Based on the fact that CGM equipment generally has a 14-day usage cycle, the first scene is the usage scenario of the first cycle of the CGM equipment. For example, if the first cycle is used in the hospital, then the hospital is the first scene.

[0032] Preferably, the second scenario is a usage scenario of a second period following the first period.

[0033] In actual use, the second scenario is the usage scenario of the second cycle following the end of the first cycle. For example, if the second cycle is used at the patient's home, then the patient's home is the second scenario.

[0034] Preferably, obtaining the unique number of the CGM device worn by the patient in the first scenario specifically includes: When the CGM management module receives the patient's discharge instruction, it queries the unique number of the CGM device worn by the patient.

[0035] In actual use, when a patient is discharged from the hospital, medical staff will send the patient's discharge instructions to the CGM management module. When the CGM management module receives the patient's discharge instructions, it will query the unique number of the CGM device worn by the patient.

[0036] Preferably, before obtaining the current parameters of the CGM device according to the unique number, the method further comprises the following steps: The CGM management module sends the unique number and the scene conversion instruction to the Bluetooth gateway, and the Bluetooth gateway disconnects from the CGM device according to the unique number and the scene conversion instruction.

[0037] During actual use, the CGM management module sends the device's unique number and scene conversion instructions to the Bluetooth gateway. After receiving the instructions, the Bluetooth gateway will no longer receive the blood glucose data generated by this device and disconnect the Bluetooth connection of this device.

[0041] During actual use, a judgment is made based on the current parameters. If the current parameters are less than the usage cycle of the CGM device, the CGM management module automatically generates an authorization key for the second scenario. The authorization key includes: the device's unique number, remaining usage time, device connection instructions, and the latest blood sugar data.

[0042] Preferably, the patient continues to use the CGM device for blood glucose monitoring in the second scenario by using the authorization key until the use cycle of the CGM device ends, specifically including: The patient scans the authorization key of the second scenario through the user terminal to obtain the device unique number, device connection instructions and remaining usage time; The user terminal decodes the acquired unique device number, the device connection instruction and the remaining usage time.

[0043] During actual use, the patient scans the authorization key of the second scenario through the user terminal to obtain the unique number of the CGM device, the device connection instruction and the remaining usage time; the user terminal then decodes the obtained unique number of the CGM device, the device connection instruction and the remaining usage time; the user terminal in this embodiment is a health management software for patients to use at home, which can be synchronized with smart devices to record and manage the patient's key health indicators such as blood sugar and blood pressure.

[0044] Preferably, the patient continues to use the CGM device for blood glucose monitoring in the second scenario by using the authorization key until the use cycle of the CGM device ends, which further specifically includes: The user terminal verifies the decoded information: If the verification is passed, a connection instruction is sent to the CGM device to bind the CGM device; When the binding is successful, the patient continues to use the CGM device to monitor blood glucose in the second scenario until the use cycle of the CGM device ends.

[0045] During actual use, the user terminal needs to verify the decoded information: if the verification passes, a connection instruction is sent to the CGM device to bind the CGM device; when the binding is successful, the patient continues to use the CGM device for blood glucose monitoring in the second scenario, and the user terminal can receive the blood glucose data generated by the CGM device in real time until the end of the CGM device usage cycle, thereby optimizing the use process of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) equipment, saving medical resources and improving patient monitoring experience.
