Description

SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND FEATURES FOR ANALYTE MONITORING FIE D [0001] The subject matter described herein relates generally to digital interfaces, user interfaces, and features for analyte monitoring, including software applications, as well as systems, methods, and devices relating thereto. BACKGROUND [0002] The detection and/or monitoring of analyte levels, such as glucose, ketones, lactate, oxygen, hemoglobin A1C, or the like, can be vitally important to the overall health of a person, particularly for an individual having diabetes. Patients suffering from diabetes mellitus can experience complications including loss of consciousness, cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy. Persons with diabetes are generally required to monitor their glucose levels to ensure that they are being maintained within a clinically safe range, and may also use this information to determine if and/or when insulin is needed to reduce glucose levels in their bodies, or when additional glucose is needed to raise the level of glucose in their bodies. [0003] Growing clinical data demonstrates a strong correlation between the frequency of glucose monitoring and glycemic control. Despite such correlation, however, many individuals diagnosed with a diabetic condition do not monitor their glucose levels as frequently as they should due to a combination of factors including convenience, testing discretion, pain associated with glucose testing, and cost. [0004] To increase patient adherence to a plan of frequent glucose monitoring, in vivo analyte monitoring systems can be utilized, in which a sensor control device may be worn on the body of an individual who requires analyte monitoring. To increase comfort and convenience for the individual, the sensor control device may have a small form-factor and can be applied by the individual with a sensor applicator. The application process includes inserting at least a portion of a sensor that senses a user’s analyte level in a bodily fluid located in a layer of the human body, using an applicator or insertion mechanism, such that the sensor comes into contact with the bodily fluid. Furthermore, the benefits of analyte monitoring systems are not limited to persons with diabetes. For instance, analyte monitoring systems can provide useful information and insights to individuals interested in improving their health and wellness. [0005] Despite their advantages, however, some people are reluctant to use analyte monitoring systems for various reasons, including the complexity and volume of data presented, a learning curve associated with the software and user interfaces for analyte monitoring systems, and an overall paucity of actionable information presented. In addition, analyte monitoring software applications on reader devices are sometimes susceptible to signal and communication failures, which can lead to decreased availability and reliability of analyte data. [0006] Thus, needs exist for digital and graphical user interfaces and features for analyte monitoring systems and, in particular, analyte monitoring software applications, as well as methods and devices relating thereto, that are robust and capable of more reliable forms of data communication. SUMMARY [0007] Provided herein are example embodiments of digital and user interfaces and features for analyte monitoring software applications. Aspects of the inventions are set out in the independent claims and preferred features are set out in the dependent claims. Preferred features of each aspect may be provided in combination with each other within particular embodiments and may also be provided in combination with other aspects. Improved graphical user interfaces and wireless communication features for analyte monitoring software applications are provided. For example, disclosed herein are various embodiments of methods, systems, and interfaces for displaying data indicative of an analyte level for an analyte monitoring software application capable of receiving data according to more than one wireless communication protocol. [0008] According to some embodiments, systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for an analyte monitoring software application that is capable of receiving data indicative of an analyte level from a sensor control device via more than one wireless communication protocol are provided. [0009] According to some embodiments, systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for an analyte monitoring software application having an on-demand data backfilling feature are provided, wherein the analyte monitoring software application is capable of receiving data indicative of an analyte level from a sensor control device via more than one wireless communication protocol. In some embodiments, said analyte monitoring software applications can also include a feature to calculate and display projected missing historical analyte data.
