US Classification:

707610, 707611, 707616

Abstract:

A method of merging data from one database into another database uses metadata identifiers to indicate the type of data. One of the databases can be stored on a medical device, and the other of the databases can be stored on a computer. When transferring data from the first database to the second database, the metadata identifiers are used to identify and merge common data types.

International Classification:

A61M 31/00

US Classification:

604 67

Abstract:

Medicinal fluid delivery systems and methods for priming the same are disclosed. The systems may be configured to measure an electro-transmissive quality of a medicinal fluid when: medicinal fluid is dispensed into a fluid delivery path, a proximal end of the fluid delivery path is in contact with a first electrode, and the distal end of the fluid delivery path is in contact with a second electrode. Methods for priming medicinal fluid delivery systems may include dispensing a medicinal fluid through a fluid delivery path, sensing an electro-transmissive quality of the medicinal fluid, and determining that the fluid delivery path is full based on the electro-transmissive quality.

US Classification:

705 3, 705 2

Abstract:

A system for facilitating patient centric healthcare information maintenance. For example, a health management software system may be operated to receive, organize, and use patient medical information. The health management software may comprise a database for storing, retrieving, organizing, displaying, and, generally, for managing a patient's health. In one exemplary embodiment, the health management software system is used in conjunction with a healthcare maintenance device, such as a blood glucose monitoring system. The blood glucose monitoring system may contain several database objects in the form of data records. Typically in a portable blood glucose monitor, each data record contains a time and a concentration data element, or a time-amount point. Similarly, an insulin pump, which is another exemplary embodiment of a healthcare maintenance device, may maintain data records with time and dosage information, or a time-dosage point.
