Systems, devices and methods are provided for the integration of an analyte data reader and a medication delivery device. The integrated device can include a medication delivery portion, wireless communications circuitry configured to receive data indicative of an analyte level, and electronics. The integrated device can also include one or more near-field communication (NFC) antennas. Example embodiments of adverse condition protection features of the integrated device are also provided.

Systems, devices, and methods for integration of an analyte data reader and medication delivery device

Systems, devices, and methods are provided that enable the revision of RF command handling software stored in ROM, and that enable to supplementation of RF command handling software stored in ROM. Examples of the systems, devices, and methods make use of a lookup data structure stored within writable non-volatile memory.

Systems, devices, and methods for revising or supplementing rom-based RF commands

Embodiments described herein include a sensor control device configured for secure over-the-air (OTA) programming. Embodiments include a sensor control device that includes one or more processors, an analyte sensor, a communication module, and a memory. The memory includes a first set of storage blocks that are in a non-programmable state and a second set of blocks that are in a programmable state. The processors are configured to receive, using the communication module, instructions to write marking data to the memory to mark a first storage block from the first set of storage blocks as inaccessible and to write program data to a second storage block from the second set of storage blocks, causing the second storage block to be placed into the non-programmable state. The program data written to the second storage block includes instructions that cause the processors to process analyte data received from the analyte sensor.

Over-the-air programming of sensing devices

Embodiments described herein include an analyte monitoring device. The analyte monitoring device generates sensor data indicative of an analyte level measured by an analyte sensor transcutaneously positioned in contact with a bodily fluid of the subject. The analyte monitoring device initializes a communication module using an advertisement scanning related instruction set, wherein the advertisement scanning related instruction set is a subset of a communications protocol startup instruction set including the advertisement scanning related instruction set and a non-advertisement scanning related instruction set. The analyte monitoring device issues one or more advertising packets and receives a connection request from a receiving device. The analyte monitoring device completes initialization of the communication module using the non-advertisement scanning related instruction set. The analyte monitoring device selects a subset of the sensor data, prepares a data packet comprising the subset of the sensor data, and transmits the data packet to the receiving device.

Transmitting analyte data using low-power instruction sets

An application program stored in a ROM includes a function lookup data structure in which functions called by the application program have identifiers and memory addresses at which the function is located and can be executed. Upon startup, the function lookup data structure is copied to a RAM as a revised lookup data structure and is compared to a revision lookup data structure also written to that RAM or elsewhere. If the revision lookup data structure contains replacement functions having the same function identifiers but new memory addresses, these new memory addresses are written over the existing addresses in the revised lookup data structure for those replacement functions. The application program refers to the revised lookup data structure to find and execute the functions; thus the original application program on the ROM can continue to be used with revised functions.

Systems and methods for revising permanent ROM-based programming

Techniques include a medical device including processors, one or more sensors configured to generate signals corresponding to one or more physiological signals detected in a body of a user, a communication module configured to communicate wirelessly with a receiving device using a communication protocol capable of data transmission or reception at multiple data rates, and memories including instructions to cause the one or more processors to transmit information to the receiving device indicating that the communication module is configured to communicate using the multiple data rates; determine one of the data rates to be utilized for at least one of data transmission or reception during a communication session with the receiving device; initialize the communication session with the receiving device using the determined data rate; and transmit, via to the receiving device and using the determined data rate, communications based on the signals corresponding to the physiological signals.

Method for managing a physical layer utilized during a wireless connection with medical devices

In one embodiment, a method for secured communication between a medical sensor and a computing device includes receiving, by the medical sensor, an authentication request from the computing device. The method includes generating, based on values provided in the authentication request, a challenge-response message for the computing device. The method includes receiving, from the computing device, a responsive challenge-response message. The method includes verifying that the responsive challenge-response message includes an expected value and corresponds to an expected format. The method includes, in response to verifying the responsive challenge-response message, sending a sensor secret value to the computing device.

Secured communications in medical monitoring systems

Systems, devices and methods are provided for power-efficient wireless communications between electronic devices. In particular, the embodiments disclosed herein can reduce battery consumption in a transmitting electronic device and enhance data integrity of data received by a receiving electronic device. According to the embodiments, a first electronic device transmits advertising packets according to a wireless communications protocol, wherein the advertising packets include a first payload data. In response to receiving the advertising packets, a second electronic device can transmit a scan request to the first electronic device which, in turn, terminates the transmission of advertising packets.

Systems, devices, and methods for power-efficient wireless communications between electronic devices

Systems, devices and methods are provided that allow for enhanced performance, power efficiency, interoperability, data security and user privacy for in vivo analyte monitoring systems that utilize wireless communications. The in vivo analyte monitoring systems can include a Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy enabled handheld relay device for wirelessly relaying analyte data between a sensor unit device and one or more reader devices. The in vivo analyte monitoring systems can employ advertisement and encryption schemes for wirelessly transmitting data in a manner that allows for improved security, efficiency and privacy.
