Abstract:
In an embodiment, a patient monitor, such as a pulse oximeter, functions as a spot check glucometer when in communication with a blood glucose strip reader. In an embodiment, communications between the patient monitor and the strip reader may optionally be encrypted. Embodiments also include the strip reader housed in a dongle configured to mate with a sensor port of the pulse oximeter.
Abstract:
The present disclosure includes a handheld processing device including medical applications for minimally and noninvasive glucose measurements. In an embodiment, the device creates a patient specific calibration using a measurement protocol of minimally invasive measurements and noninvasive measurements, eventually creating a patient specific noninvasive glucometer. Additionally, embodiments of the present disclosure provide for the processing device to execute medical applications and non-medical applications.
