| abstract |
Described herein are microprocessors, devices, and methods useful for sweat and/or temperature detection that correlate more closely with changes in amperometric or charge signals related to analyte amount or concentration. The present invention provides methods for the establishment of more accurate sweat and/or temperature thresholds and new methods of compensation, such as correcting for the effects of sweat and rapidly changing temperature on measured analyte values. The present invention reduces the number of skipped or unuseable readings provided by analyte monitoring devices during periods of sweating or changing temperatures. Further, the present invention provides methods for improving the accuracy of reported readings of analyte amount or concentration. In one aspect, the present invention provides passive collection reservoir/sensing devices used in combination with active collection reservoir/sensing devices for detection of sweat and/or temperature related parameters. |
