1. A system, comprising:
a sensor device configured to be coupled to a patient for sensing an analyte value of the patient;
an injection pen device configured to dispense medicine;
a software application installable on a mobile communication device configured to communicate with the injection pen device, the mobile communication device including:
one or more processors; and
one or more processor-readable media storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:
generating dose data associated with a dispensing of medicine from the injection pen device;
wirelessly transmitting the dose data from the injection pen device to the mobile communication device;
receiving, via the software application, the dose data transmitted from the injection pen device and the analyte value communicated to the mobile communication device from the sensor device;
receiving, via the software application, contextual data including information associated with food consumed by the patient;
autonomously calculating, via a dose calculator of the software application and without patient input into the autonomous calculation, a recommended dose of a medicine to be administered to the patient via the injection pen device, wherein the recommended dose of the medicine is calculated based on the dose data, the analyte value, and the contextual data;
synchronizing the autonomously calculated recommended dose of the medicine from the software application with a display of the mobile communication device; and
continuously and dynamically displaying the autonomously calculated recommended dose of the medicine on the display of the mobile communication device.
