System and method for managing a chronic medical condition

摘要

A system for management of a chronic medical condition generally comprises a plurality of networked physical and/or virtual elements configured to cooperate to aid in management of a chronic medical condition of a patient. The system is configured to provide a primary caregiver with current data relating to the patient's medical condition, and to allow the caregiver to provide appropriate changes to the patient's treatment via an analyte detection meter. The meter is generally configured to calculate a treatment dosage by combining a plurality of patient-affected and caregiver-affected variables. One embodiment relates to a system for management of a diabetic condition in which the primary caregiver is provided with glucose concentration data as well as other information relating to a diabetic condition. The primary caregiver can then make appropriate changes to correction factors to be implemented in an analyte detection meter which is configured to calculate an insulin dosage.
