| abstract |
A parameter which is measured continuously in a human body, such as a glucose concentration, is displayed for a patient to understand her current physiological situation and predicted changes and if appropriate that corrective actions. A measured value range for the measured parameter is subdivided into two or more sub-ranges. Trend information is then calculated relating to the future expected profile of the measured parameter on the basis of two or more measured values. A time period after which it is predicted that the measured parameter will have left its current sub-range is calculated based on a current value of the measured parameter and the calculated trend information. Finally, the determined time period is displayed. An apparatus and computer program for carrying this method are also disclosed. |
