Abstract:
Persons with diabetes often carry a handheld glucose meter as well as a portable computing device, such as a mobile phone. Given the close proximity of these two devices, the portable computing device can serve as a data collector for the glucose measures taken by the glucose meter. Improved techniques are set forth for transferring glucose measures automatically and seamlessly to the patient's portable computing device, including transmitting a single glucose measure automatically in response to navigating away from an interface which displays to the glucose measure.

Abstract:
A method includes: confirming a wireless communication link between a medical device and a mobile computing device hosting an application; requesting identifying data for the medical device via the wireless communication link; and receiving identifying data for the medical device via the wireless communication link in response to the request. The method further includes: presenting an option to register the medical device on a display of the mobile computing device; receiving an affirmative indication to register the medical device; requesting input of patient identifiable data for a user of the medical device in response to receiving the affirmative indication to register; receiving patient identifiable data for the user of the medical device in response to the request for input; forming registration data from the patient identifiable data and the identifying data; and registering the medical device with a manufacturer of the medical device using the registration data.
