Analyte Monitoring Engagement Feedback for Consistent Testing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing analyte monitoring systems do not effectively encourage users to interact with them at a frequency that maximizes their benefits, leading to increased risks of hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic episodes.
Innovation Solution
A system that monitors user interaction frequency, compares it to predetermined targets, and alerts users when interaction falls below these targets, with adjustable levels based on user history, activity, and analyte levels, and includes rewards and alarms to encourage consistent engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If continuous glucose monitoring is provided with frequent analyte level availability, then patients can derive maximum benefit from the system, but patients may not interact with the system frequently enough to realize these benefits
Solution Approach 1:
The system monitors user interaction frequency with the glucose monitoring system and provides feedback by comparing actual interaction to target interaction levels. When interaction falls below the target, the system generates an alert to encourage the user to increase their engagement with the device, thereby ensuring they realize the full benefits of continuous monitoring.
2Ease of operation
If manual periodic glucose testing is used, then the system is simple to operate, but consistency of testing varies widely among individuals
Solution Approach 1:
The system tracks how many times the user has performed manual glucose testing and compares this to a target frequency. When the user fails to test consistently, the system provides feedback through alerts and notifications, encouraging them to maintain regular testing schedules and improve consistency without adding operational complexity.
