Abstract:
1. A method for compensating for a time lag of continuous analyte sensor data, the method comprising: receiving sensor data from a continuous analyte sensor, wherein the sensor data comprises a) a physiological time lag with respect to blood analyte data or reference analyte data, b) a membrane-induced time lag, or c) a computationally-induced time lag; continuously and/or intermittently estimating, using a processor module, analyte values based on the sensor data, wherein estimating comprises compensating analyte values based on a first time lag associated with the sensor data, evaluating analyte values compensated for the first time lag with time-corresponding received analyte values to determine an updated time lag associated with the sensor data, and compensating analyte values based on the updated time lag associated with the sensor data; and continuously or intermittently providing, using an output module, an output based on the estimated analyte values.
