METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING THE ACCURACY OF ALTERNATIVE SITE ANALYTE CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENTS

摘要

Methods and apparatuses for improving the accuracy of analyte concentration measurements at alternative sites and information provided to the user. The present invention advantageously utilizes information relating to the rate of change of analyte concentrations to adjust analyte concentrations measurements and/or information provided to the user. Therefore, the present invention provides new and improved methods and apparatuses for obtaining analyte concentration information at physiological sites other than the fingertips while ensuring that the analyte concentration information accurately reflects systemic analyte concentration values.
