20090137888 | SYSTEM FOR MONITORING OF PATIENTS - A patient monitoring system implemented by a service provider for users via recording a patient's analytes measurements by non-invasively interrogating a skin patch placed upon the patient's skin surface. The system includes an input module to provide a device to measure analytes from a patient, such as a measurement of the blood glucose level. The measurement is shared among a plurality of output devices such as computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, and pagers that are stationed or held by various users, such as doctors, patients, researchers, pharmacies, labs, and health insurers. In addition, behavioral attributes are recorded and correlated with the analytes measurements to generate a profile. The profile is selectively sent to output devices based on the user profile corresponding to the output device. Also, access to the profile is monitored by a security module that encrypts the profile to prevent access by un-authorized users. | 05-28-2009 |
20090270704 | PATCHES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR NON-INVASIVE GLUCOSE MEASUREMENT - Described here are patches, systems, and methods for measuring glucose. In general, the patches comprise a microfluidic collection layer and a detector, and the systems comprise a patch and a measurement device. Some methods for measuring glucose comprise cleaning the skin surface, collecting sweat from the skin surface using a microfluidic collection device, and measuring the collected glucose. Other methods comprise cleaning the skin surface, collecting sweat in a patch comprising a microfludic collection layer, and measuring glucose collected in the patch. Still other methods comprise cleaning the skin surface, collecting a first sweat sample from the skin surface in a patch comprising a microfludic collection layer and a detector layer, transferring the first sweat sample from the collection layer to the detector layer, measuring glucose in the first sweat sample, and repeating the collection, transferring, and measuring steps at least once. | 10-29-2009 |
20100049022 | Methods for improving performance and reliability of biosensors - The present invention relates to a predictive-kinetic method for use with data processing of a sensor-generated signal, as well as, microprocessors and monitoring systems employing such a predictive-kinetic method. Data from a transient region of a signal is used with suitable models and curve-fitting methods to predict the signal that would be measured for the system at the completion of the reaction. The values resulting from data processing of sensor response using the methods of the present invention are less sensitive to measurement variables. | 02-25-2010 |
20100063372 | SWEAT COLLECTION DEVICES FOR GLUCOSE MEASUREMENT - Devices, methods, and kits for collecting sweat that has come to the surface of the skin are provided. The sweat may be collected for measuring sweat glucose levels. Because sweat glucose levels correlate to blood glucose levels, the provided devices, methods, and kits may be used by diabetic patients to non-invasively monitor blood glucose levels. Sweat collection devices may be attachable to the surface of the skin and may collect about one microliter or less of sweat. Because only a small, fixed volume of sweat may be collected, the sweat glucose level may be measured in a matter of minutes. Further, as a fixed volume of sweat is tested, inaccuracies due to estimates of the sweat volume being tested are less likely to cause an inaccurate glucose measurement. | 03-11-2010 |
20120165626 | DEVICES, METHODS, AND KITS FOR DETERMINING ANALYTE CONCENTRATIONS - Devices, methods, and kits for measuring or otherwise evaluating the concentration of one or more analytes in a body fluid are described. The devices, methods, and/or kits may be non-invasive. In some variations, a method for measuring the concentration of an analyte in sweat of a subject may comprise contacting a colorimetric membrane with a skin surface of the subject so that the membrane collects a volume of sweat from the skin surface, and analyzing the colorimetric membrane to determine the concentration of the analyte in the collected volume of sweat. | 06-28-2012 |
