Abstract

Mobile devices are used for several purposes other than just communication. Given herein are methods and systems for enabling a mobile device to interface with a medical device, mainly related to patient healthcare monitoring using the mobile device. The mobile can control or interface with a medical device in a deterministic manner through a mobile application. The mobile application module uses the available hardware resources of the mobile device to control or interface with a medical device. This enables the mobile device to fully control or interface with the medical device without any external or internal disturbance.
