Summary of the Inventive Concept
A system and method for adapting analyte concentration alert functions to specific, narrow market or unique operational environments, such as high-security needs, disaster relief, extreme weather conditions, high-altitude, or underwater applications.
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent disclosed an analyte concentration alert function for an analyte sensor system. However, this invention has limitations in terms of adaptability to specific environments. The present inventive concept addresses this limitation by providing specialized variations and niche solutions for various operational environments.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The inventive concept comprises a system and method for adapting analyte concentration alert functions to specific environments. The system includes a glucose sensor, an accelerometer, a display device, and a wearable transceiver. The wearable transceiver is configured to calculate a glucose concentration value using at least the glucose data and the acceleration data, and to generate an alert if the glucose concentration value exceeds a predetermined threshold. The inventive concept provides various embodiments, including high-security glucose monitoring, glucose monitoring in extreme weather conditions, disaster relief glucose monitoring, high-altitude glucose monitoring, and underwater glucose monitoring.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The inventive concept's novelty lies in its adaptability to specific environments, which is not addressed by the original patent. The inventive step involves the integration of the glucose sensor, accelerometer, and wearable transceiver to provide specialized alert functions for various operational environments.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept may include using different types of sensors, such as electrochemical or optical sensors, or different types of accelerometers, such as piezoelectric or capacitive accelerometers. The inventive concept may also be implemented using different communication protocols, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or different display devices, such as LCD or OLED displays.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The inventive concept has potential commercial applications in various industries, including healthcare, sports, and military. The target market includes individuals with diabetes or other chronic conditions, athletes, and military personnel who require specialized glucose monitoring systems for their specific operational environments.
