Abstract: A hand-held test meter for the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (for example, a whole blood sample), includes a microprocessor block, a display module, and a memory block storing multi-event control solution measurement reminder instructions and operatively coupled to the microprocessor block. Moreover, the memory block, microprocessor block and display module are configured such that the multi-event control solution measurement reminder instructions, when executed by the microprocessor block, retrieve predetermined hand-held test meter multi-event data and determine if at least one of the hand-held test meter multi-event data meets an associated predetermined condition, and if at least one of the associated predetermined conditions are met, prompt a user via the display module using, for example, a pop-up display message, to perform a control solution measurement using the hand-held test meter.

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: An analytical test meter includes a meter housing containing a test strip connector that includes at least two terminals. A processor is disposed within the meter housing, as well as a current generator that generates a magnetic field in association with one of the terminals for attracting a contact of an analytical test strip for alignment or retention therewith. Detection of the presence of an analytical test strip relative to an electrical contact can cause an increase in the intensity of the magnetic field.

Abstract: A physiological measurement system includes a biosensor providing a signal for a fluid sample. A processor determines a physiological parameter in the form of an analyte concentration using the signal from the biosensor. A network interface conveys data between the processor and a social network. The processor can transmit a query for analyte-data-request records to the social network, receive an indication of an analyte-data-request record from the social network, and transmit the determined analyte data or physiologic data to the social network in response to the indication. The processor can alternatively retrieve user credentials from a storage device, transmit the credentials and the analyte data to the social network, retrieve from the social network different-user response data corresponding to the transmission, and present an indication of the response data. Methods for processing analyte or physiologic data are also described. Various methods include transmitting credentials and the stored analyte or physiologic data to the social network.

Abstract: An electrochemical-based analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (for example, a whole blood sample) and/or a characteristic of the bodily fluid sample (e.g., hematocrit) includes a sample-entry chamber with a sample-application opening disposed on an end edge of the electrochemical-based analytical test strip, and first and second sample-determination chambers, each in direct fluidic communication with the sample-entry chamber. The electrochemical-based analytical test strip also includes first and second electrodes (such as first and second hematocrit electrodes) disposed in the first sample-determination chamber, and a third and fourth electrodes (for example working and reference electrodes) disposed in the second sample-determination chamber. Moreover, the first and second sample-determination chambers intersect the sample-entry chamber perpendicular (or nearly perpendicular) to one another and the first sample-determination chamber also intersects the sample-entry chamber in an aligned manner.
