Abstract
In one implementation, a computer-implemented method of establishing a secure wireless communication connection between an insulin pump device and a mobile computing device includes receiving, at a mobile computing device, a device identifier for the insulin pump device; obtaining, by the mobile computing device, device information for the insulin pump device from a remote server system using the device identifier; establishing, by the mobile computing device, a secure wireless connection with the insulin pump device using, at least in part, the device information; authenticating, by the mobile computing device, the insulin pump device based on asymmetric key verification using the public key for the insulin pump; and securely communicating, by the mobile computing device and in response to authenticating the insulin pump device, information with the insulin pump device.
