Abstract
A system according the present invention comprises a processor, a device interface configured to receive data from one or more different medical devices through a wired or wireless connection (or both), a data relay transceiver, and a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions. The processor executes the instructions in the memory to receive data from the one or more medical devices through a wired or wireless connection (or both) using the device interface and transmits the data to an intermediary device using the data relay transceiver. Accordingly data from a medical device can be received by the system through the one or more of a wired connection and a wireless connection, and a message including the received data for transmission may be formatted to be sent to one or more of a medical data server and a intermediary device, wherein the intermediary device includes a software program configured to retransmit the message to the medical data server. Aspects of the system can be practiced automatically to allow a medical device for a patient or other subject to be monitored without requiring the patient to manually enter information.
