The invention relates to a device (24) for diagnostic or therapy support of a patient (12) with a chronic disease, comprising: a display (108); a user interface (146); and a processor (102) coupled to the display (108) and the user interface (146); and program (34) instructions that when executed by the processor (102) causes the processor (102) to: prompt a plurality of medical use cases or questions related to the chronic disease for selection on the display (108), receive a selected medical use case or question via the user interface (146), select automatically a structured collection procedure (70) for the diagnostic or therapy support of the patient (12) with the chronic disease based on the selected medical use case or question from a plurality of structured collection procedures (70) stored in a memory (110), and implement the selected structured collection procedure (70), said structured collection procedure (70) having parameters (220, 222, 224, 226, 228, 230, 232, 237, 238, 240) defining a schedule of events (222), each of said events (237) comprising at least a request (240) for collection of a blood glucose value, and wherein the parameters (220, 222, 224, 226, 228, 230, 232, 237, 238, 240) of the structured collection procedure (70) further define at least one entry criterion (226) which establishes one or more conditions needed to be met in order for a processor (102) to perform the schedule of events (222).
