Methods and apparatus information gathering, error detection and analyte concentration determination during continuous analyte sensing

Abstract

A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device may include a wearable portion having a sensor configured to produce glucose signals from interstitial fluid, a processor, a memory and transmitter circuitry. The memory may include a pre-determined gain function based on a point-of-interest glucose signal and glucose signals measured prior to the point-of-interest glucose signal. The memory may also include computer program code stored therein that, when executed by the processor, causes the CGM device to (a) measure and store a plurality of glucose signals using the sensor and memory; (b) for a presently-measured glucose signal, employ the plurality of previously-measured glucose signals stored in the memory and the pre-determined gain function to compute a compensated glucose value; and (c) communicate the compensated glucose value to a user of the CGM device. Numerous other embodiments are provided.
