A monitor device (200) for a medical device system (100) has a display element, a display controller /driver coupled to the display element and configured to generate a screen for rendering on the display element. The system further has processing architecture configured to analyze sensor data obtained by the monitor device, the sensor data indicating empirical measurements of a physiological characteristic of a monitored patient, and estimate future measurements of the physiological characteristic based upon the sensor data: The screen comprises a predictive graph (734) of the physiological characteristic that graphically indicates the empirical measurements and the future measurements. In an embodiment the predictive graph (734) comprises indicia of a target zone (740) for the physiological characteristic, the processing architecture being configured to predict whether the future measurements will leave the target zone (740) within a period of time, and to obtain an estimated time (746) corresponding to when the future measurements will leave the target zone (740); and wherein the screen comprises an indicator of the estimated time. |
