An unscented Kalman filter is used to enable sensor calibration independently of the actual design of the subject sensors. By utilizing an unscented Kalman filter, an underlying calibration methodology is developed that is sensor-unspecific, such that a single calibration methodology and related systems may be used to calibrate various sensors, without the need to re-calculate a calibration factor for each specific sensor, and without the need to design a separate filtering mechanism to compensate for noise. In this way, various calibration inputs can be allowed to change over time without the need to change the codebase on which the calibration methodology otherwise operates. In multi-electrode systems, the methodology may incorporate a fusion algorithm to provide a single, fused sensor glucose value. The fusion algorithm may incorporate, and/or work in conjunction with, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) procedures. |
