GLYCEMIC URGENCY ASSESSMENT AND ALERTS INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18642267 titled 'GLYCEMIC URGENCY ASSESSMENT AND ALERTS INTERFACE

The patent application discloses systems and methods for determining a glycemic urgency index (GUI) based on various factors, including blood glucose levels, time derivatives of glucose levels, user-entered data, data from other sensors, historical data, and more.

• The GUI is presented to the user in an interesting way, such as through a background color or inconspicuous notifier on a mobile device.
• The GUI can trigger actionable alerts and alarms on electronic devices for the user.
• The GUI or another index calculated from the variables can be used to drive a medicament delivery device like a pump.

• • Potential Applications:**

- Healthcare monitoring systems - Diabetes management tools - Wearable health technology

• • Problems Solved:**

- Providing users with real-time information on glycemic urgency - Improving diabetes management and control - Enhancing user awareness of blood glucose levels

• • Benefits:**

- Timely alerts for potential health risks - Personalized management of diabetes - Convenient and discreet monitoring

• • Commercial Applications:**

Title: "Innovative Glycemic Urgency Index Technology for Healthcare Monitoring" This technology can be used in the development of wearable health devices, remote patient monitoring systems, and smart insulin pumps, catering to the growing market of individuals seeking advanced diabetes management solutions.

• • Questions about Glycemic Urgency Index:**

1. How does the GUI improve diabetes management for users?

  - The GUI provides real-time information on glycemic urgency, allowing users to take timely action to control their blood glucose levels effectively.

2. What are the potential long-term benefits of using the GUI in healthcare monitoring?

  - The GUI can lead to better health outcomes by enabling personalized diabetes management and increasing user awareness of their glucose levels.

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are disclosed that employ several or numerous factors in the determination of a glycemic urgency index (GUI), which may be based on a measured blood glucose level as well as other factors. The other factors may include time derivatives of the glucose level and/or other factors, e.g., user-entered data, data measured by other sensors or received from a network source, or historical data. The GUI is then presented to the user in an interesting way, e.g., via a background color or other inconspicuous notifier, e.g., on a mobile device such as a smart phone. The GUI may also be employed in the triggering of actionable alerts and alarms on an electronic device for the user. The GUI, or another index calculated from combinations of the variables and parameters described, may further be employed to drive a medicament delivery device such as a pump.
