Sharing continous glucose data and reports

Abstract

In some example embodiments, there is provided a method, which includes sending a message to a server, wherein the message includes a request for a share code to enable another user to access, via a first computer, analyte data obtained from a host-patient associated with a receiver and/or an analyte report for the host-patient associated with the receiver; receiving, in response to the sending, the share code generated by the server, wherein the share code comprises a checksum portion, a password portion, and an identifier portion indicative of the host-patient; generating a user interface view including the share code; and displaying the user interface view including the share code, wherein the share code enables the other user to access, via the first computer, the analyte data and/or the analyte report. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 sending a message to a server, wherein the message includes a request for a share code to enable another user to access, via a first computer, analyte data obtained from a host-patient associated with a receiver and/or an analyte report for the host-patient associated with the receiver;   receiving, in response to the sending, the share code generated by the server, wherein the share code comprises a checksum portion, a password portion, and an identifier portion indicative of the host-patient;   generating a user interface view including the share code; and   displaying the user interface view including the share code, wherein the share code enables the other user to access, via the first computer, the analyte data and/or the analyte report.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 providing, by the first computer including an application, the share code to the server.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the application comprises a downloaded application and/or a browser that accesses, via a wired connection and/or wireless connection, the server. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the providing comprises at least one of:
 entering the share code at a webpage generated by the server; or   sending to the server another message including the share code.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 checking, by the server, the share code to determine whether an account associated with the host-patient indicates that the share code authorizes report generation at the first computer.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the checking further comprises:
 checking the checksum portion of the share code;   checking the password portion of the share code, when the checksum is valid; and   verifying the identity portion of the share code by checking whether the identity portion maps to the account associated with the host-patient, when the checksum and password portion are valid.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the verifying further comprises determining whether a lifetime for the share code has expired. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the lifetime is selected by the host-patient and/or configured as a default time. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 generating, by the server, the analyte report, when the checking determines that report generation is authorized for presentation at the first computer.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 triggering the sending of the request for the share code, when the host-patient accesses a share code request icon presented on webpage generated by the server.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a third sharing mode comprises enabling the other user to access, via the first computer, the analyte data obtained from host-patient associated with the receiver and/or the analyte report for the host-patient associated with the receiver. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 uploading, when in a first sharing mode, to the server the analyte data obtained from the host-patient, wherein the analyte data comprises continuous glucose sensor data and patient identifying information identifying host-patient.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the uploading to the server further comprises transmitting the analyte data via at least one of a wired link, a cellular data link, a wireless local area network link, and/or a Bluetooth link. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the uploading is performed by the receiver configured to wirelessly receive at least the continuous glucose sensor data from a continuous glucose sensor affixed to the host-patient. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the uploading is via a remote computer. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the uploading is triggered when the receiver couples via at a wired connection and/or a wireless connection to the remote computer that is authenticated by the server. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the authentication comprises a login to an account associated with the host-patient. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 generating, for presentation at the remote computer, the analyte report, wherein the analyte report comprises the analyte data and patient identifying information identifying the host-patient.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 uploading, when in a second sharing mode, to the server the analyte data obtained from the host-patient, wherein the analyte data includes continuous glucose sensor data and excludes patient identifying information identifying the host-patient.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the receiver excludes the patient identifying information by at least one of removing, masking, or encrypting the patient identifying information. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the uploading further comprises transmitting, by the receiver, the analyte data via at least one of a wired link, a cellular data link, a wireless local area network link, and/or a Bluetooth link. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the uploading is via the first computer comprising a transient computer, wherein the transient computer is not logged into an account associated with host-patient. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 22 , wherein the uploading is triggered by at least one of:
 coupling the receiver via at a wired connection and/or wireless connection to the transient computer; and   receiving an indication of a selection of an icon on a webpage, wherein the icon represents the second sharing mode, wherein the second sharing mode enables the other user to access the analyte data obtained from the host-patient associated with the receiver and/or the analyte report for the host-patient associated with the receiver, wherein the second sharing mode inhibits sharing of the patient identifying information identifying the host-patient.   
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising:
 triggering, when in the second sharing mode, the uploading by sending a second sharing mode upload message from the server to the transient computer and/or the receiver.   
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 24 , further comprising:
 generating the analyte report for presentation at the transient computer, when the second sharing mode upload message is received.
