1. An infusion system for infusing a fluid into a user, the infusion system comprising:

  • a sensor system including;

    a sensor system housing;

    a sensor coupled to the sensor system housing for producing a signal indicative of a physiological characteristic level of the user;

    a sensor system processor contained in the sensor system housing for processing the signal indicative of the physiological characteristic level of the user; and

    a sensor system transmitter contained in the sensor system housing and coupled to the sensor system processor for transmitting one or more communications in a sensor system format;

    a relay device including;

    a relay device receiver for receiving the communications from the sensor system in the sensor system format;

    a relay device processor for processing the communications from the sensor system and converting the communications for transmission in a delivery system format; and

    a relay device transmitter for transmitting the converted communications in the delivery system format; and

    a fluid delivery system including;

    a delivery system housing;

    a delivery system receiver contained in the delivery system housing for receiving the communications from the relay device in the delivery system format; and

    a delivery system processor contained in the delivery system housing and coupled to the delivery system receiver for processing the communications from the relay device in the delivery system format and controlling an amount of the fluid infused into the user;

    wherein the amount of the fluid infused into the user is determined based upon data indicative of the physiological characteristic level of the user obtained by the sensor system.
