Abstract: An analyte measurement system includes a processor connected to a biosensor providing analyte data corresponding to an analyte level of a fluid sample. A user interface provides a menu of functions to a user and successively receives a plurality of menu choices, which the processor records. A storage device holds data defining a first action criterion. The processor compares the menu choices to the first action criterion. When the stored menu choices satisfy the first action criterion, the processor can automatically add a first additional function to the menu of functions, or can automatically presents a reward token via the user interface. The system can also include a housing holding the user interface, the storage device, and the processor. Methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A hand-held test meter for use with an electrochemical-based analytical test strip in the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (for example, a whole blood sample) includes a housing, a micro-controller disposed in the housing, a test strip electrode to ground-reference switch circuit block disposed in the housing, a strip port connector configured for operational insertion of an electrochemical-based analytical test strip with an electrode (e.g., a reference electrode), and a ground-reference. In addition, the test strip electrode to ground-reference switch circuit block is configured to be in electrical communication with an electrode of an electrochemical-based analytical test strip inserted in the strip port connector. Moreover, the test strip electrode to ground-reference switch circuit block is configured to connect and disconnect the electrode of the inserted electrochemical-based analytical test strip to the ground-reference under operational control of the micro-controller.

Abstract: A hand-held test meter includes an electrically and thermally insulating case (“ETIC”) with an outwardly facing surface, a test meter electrical component (“TMEC”) with a thermal contact portion disposed within the electrically-insulating case, and at least one thermal channel. The thermal channel includes a proximal contact portion with a proximal contact surface, a distal contact portion with a distal surface, and a channel portion connecting the proximal contact portion and the distal contact portion. The thermal channel is integrated with the ETIC such that the thermal channel extends through the ETIC from the outwardly facing surface and to the thermal contact portion of the TMEC. The extension is such that the proximal contact surface of the thermal channel is outside of the ETIC and the distal surface of the thermal channel is in contact with the thermal contact portion of the TMEC. The thermal channel is thermally conductive and electrically-insulating.

Abstract: A hand-held test meter for use with an analytical test strip (such as an electrochemical-based analytical test strip) for the determination of an analyte (e.g., glucose) in a bodily fluid sample, the hand-held test meter including a housing with an analytical test strip contact pressure feature, a printed circuit board (PCB) with at least one solder bump disposed in the housing. The housing of the hand-held test meter is configured for the insertion of an analytical test strip therein. In addition, the analytical test strip contact pressure feature is configured to operatively apply pressure on the inserted analytical test strip such that at least one electrical contact of the inserted analytical test strip is operably pressed against the solder bump, thereby creating a direct operable electrical connection between the inserted analytical test strip and the solder bump of the PCB.
