Embodiments related to a self-administered, behavior modification program facilitated through a structured tailoring method and system thereof which accelerates and enhances the internalization process of the individual, and which provides help when the individual begins to fail in adhering or continuing with the behavior modification are disclosed. Program instructions that when executed by a processor causes a processor to initiate automatically a schedule of events of a structured tailoring procedure upon entry criteria being met at some unknown time, provide intervention according to the intervention preferences when the adherence criteria for one of the events has not been met, and end automatically the structured collection procedure upon exit criteria being met at some unknown time.

Structured tailoring

A handheld diabetes management device for managing blood glucose test data and continuous glucose monitoring data includes a port configured to receive a test strip, a wireless transceiver, a communications processor, and a user interface processor. The communications processor communicates with the wireless transceiver to periodically collect glucose measurement data from a continuous glucose monitoring device and to store the glucose measurement data in a first data storage module. The communications processor is operable to consume electrical power at a first rate. The user interface processor communicates with the communication processor to receive the glucose measurement data and operable to display the glucose measurement data on the device. The communications processor operates asynchronously from operation of the user interface processor to collect the glucose measurement data and the user interface processor operates to consume electrical power at a second rate that is higher than the first rate.

Diabetes manager for glucose testing and continuous glucose monitoring

A method for analyzing diabetes related information by a diabetes management application residing on a computing device. The method may include: receiving a data entry over a communication link from a blood glucose meter, where the data entry includes a glucose measurement and an indicator of a pre-established activity associated with the glucose measurement; evaluating the data entry in relation to a subject structured test based in part by comparing the indicator from the data entry with collection events associated with the subject structured test; identifying the data entry as compatible with the subject structured test when the data entry correlates with a given collection event specified by the subject structured test; identifying the data entry as non-compatible with the subject structured test when the data entry does not correlate with the given collection event specified by the subject structured test; and inputting the data entry into a logbook.

Method for reconciling medical data captured on one device with a structured test administered on another device

An insulin pump is configurable by a configurator. The pump has parameter blocks, each with a respective parameter and an associated restriction setting, and the configurator has an authorization level.
