Operations

Data

Manages diabetes data in user's Tidepool account.

Operations

Device Serial Number

A string encoding the device's serial number.

The deviceSerialNumber is a string that encodes the serial number of the device. Note that even if a manufacturer only uses digits in its serial numbers, the SN should be stored as a string regardless.

Uniquely of string fields in the Tidepool device data models, deviceSerialNumber may be an empty string. This is essentially a compromise: having the device serial number is extremely important (especially for e.g., clinical studies) but in 2016 we came across our first case where we cannot recover the serial number of the device that generated the data: Dexcom G5 data uploaded to Tidepool through Apple iOS's HealthKit integration.

string(Device Serial Number)non-empty

A string encoding the device's serial number.

Device Tag

Tag indicating the function(s) of a particular device.

string(Device Tag)<= 100 characters

Tag indicating the function(s) of a particular device.

"bgm"

Device Tags

An array of string tags indicating the function(s) of the device.

The deviceTags array should be fairly self-explanatory as an array of tags indicating the function(s) of a particular device. For example, the Insulet OmniPod insulin delivery system has the tags bgm and insulin-pump since the PDM is both an insulin pump controller and includes a built-in blood glucose monitor.
