KETONE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM CAPABLE OF DETECTING AND NOTIFYING A USER OF PROPER INSERTION OF DETACHABLE COMPONENTS

摘要

Systems and related methods are provided for measuring a ketone in the fluid of a patient or other user. The systems include a portable measurement device for analyzing a plurality of fluid samples and for generating a corresponding plurality of ketone measurement results. The systems also include an electronic or communications device, for example, such as a cell phone or smartphone, configured to communicate with the measurement device. The system further includes a software application. The systems and related methods according to one aspect provide reminders, preferably interactive reminders that facilitate user compliance with a weight management or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) monitoring or prevention program. The systems and related methods according to another aspect incorporate ketone tags and/or trigger points to improve accuracy of results and to advance user compliance.

主权项

1. A breath analysis system, comprising:
a portable breath analysis device comprising:
a first presence sensor that senses when a breath bag is coupled to the portable breath analysis device;a second presence sensor that senses when a cartridge for analyzing contents of the breath bag is coupled to the portable breath analysis device;a wireless transceiver; anda processor coupled to the first and second presence sensors and the wireless transceiver; and a mobile application configured to run on a mobile device of a user, the mobile application comprising executable instructions that direct the mobile device to at least:
establish a wireless connection between the mobile device and the breath analysis device, andguide the user through a process of running at least a portion of a test in which the breath analysis device analyzes contents of the breath bag using the cartridge,wherein the processor of the breath analysis device is programmed to notify the mobile application, via the wireless connection, of states of the first and second presence sensors, and the mobile application is configured to display on the mobile device a user interface that indicates to the user, based on the communicated states of the first and second presence sensors, whether a breath bag is coupled to the breath analysis device and whether a cartridge is coupled to the breath analysis device.
