Systems and methods for processing, transmitting and displaying sensor data

Abstract

Systems and methods for continuous measurement of an analyte in a host are provided. The system generally includes a continuous analyte sensor configured to continuously measure a concentration of analyte in a host and a sensor electronics module physically connected to the continuous analyte sensor during sensor use, wherein the sensor electronics module is further configured to directly wirelessly communicate displayable sensor information to a plurality of different types of display devices.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of monitoring analyte concentration levels in a host, the method comprising:
 providing a transcutaneous analyte sensor configured for implantation in the host;   providing sensor electronics operably connected to or connectable to the transcutaneous analyte sensor;   providing a first downloadable software for configuring a first mobile phone to display displayable sensor information derived at least in part from sensor data obtained by the sensor electronics using the transcutaneous analyte sensor;   providing a second downloadable software for configuring a second mobile phone to display displayable sensor information derived at least in part from sensor data obtained by the sensor electronics using the transcutaneous analyte sensor; and   wherein at least the first downloadable software is further configured to generate a user interface for inputting an electronic delivery address associated with the second mobile phone to receive data packages of displayable sensor information from the first mobile phone.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first mobile phone sends the data packages to the second mobile phone over the Internet.
