Patent ID: 8529839

Claim:
A method for managing treatment of a particular health condition afflicting a patient through associating subjective patient symptoms with analyte levels, the method comprising: storing in a nonvolatile memory a health management program configured to manage treatment of the particular health condition; accessing the nonvolatile memory to upload into a processor and run the health management program; and programming the processor with the uploaded health management program for: controlling a display to issue a prompt for entry of patient health condition data related to the particular health condition, wherein the patient health condition data includes subjective patient symptom data in a predefined drop-down list of subjective patient symptoms that may be individually selected and entered as data with an input device, and medication data; receiving patient health condition data related to the particular health condition including analyte level data with associated times at which the data was taken from a patient, and further including subjective patient symptom data with associated times at which the subjective symptoms were experienced from the predefined drop-down list; issuing a prompt reminding the patient of a planned activity; storing the received patient health condition data in the nonvolatile memory along with times associated with the data; compiling the stored patient health condition data into a data summary of accumulated data in which analyte levels at specific times are associated with subjective patient symptom data at specific times so that the summary shows an overall view of possible influences of subjective patient symptoms on analyte levels; and displaying a graphical representation of the data summary of the accumulated data.
