Patent ID: 8521558

Claim:
A communication system for monitoring a medical condition for a patient, comprising: a plurality of medical devices including a continuous glucose monitor for obtaining continuous glucose level measurement data for the patient over a plurality of days and a glucose meter for obtaining discrete glucose level calibration and reference data over the plurality of days that is used by the continuous glucose monitor to calibrate the continuous glucose level measurement data for the patient over the plurality of days; a processing device including: a processing device display, and at least one embedded computer program; and a communication device for providing a communication link between the plurality of medical devices and the processing device such that data may be transferred from the plurality of medical devices to the processing device, wherein the at least one embedded computer program causes the processing device to perform: generating a patient data file, downloading the continuous glucose level measurement data for the patient obtained by the continuous glucose monitor over the plurality of days and the discrete glucose level calibration and reference data obtained by the glucose meter over the plurality of days, recording the downloaded data in the patient data file, integrating the downloaded data from the continuous glucose monitor and the glucose meter to present contemporaneous information showing the relationship between the continuous glucose monitor and the glucose meter, presenting the integrated data in a modal day report format including a modal day graph having a single 24-hour day time scale on a first axis and a glucose level scale on a second axis, and displaying on the processing device display the continuous glucose level measurement data obtained over a first day of the plurality of days and the discrete glucose level calibration and reference data obtained over the first day of the plurality of days that is used to calibrate the continuous glucose level measurement data during the first day in an overlaid fashion relative to the continuous glucose level measurement data obtained over a second day of the plurality of days and the discrete glucose level calibration and reference data obtained over the second day of the plurality of days that is used to calibrate the continuous glucose level measurement data during the second day on the same, single 24-hour day time scale within the modal day graph.
