INTEROPERABILITY ENHANCEMENT THAT SUPPORTS CONNECTIVITY OF APPLICATIONS ON A MEDICAL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented diabetes management system that supports connectivity of applications residing on a medical device, comprising:
- a medical device that performs a diabetes care function in relation to a patient and stores data pertaining to the function;
a diabetes care management device in data communication with the medical device and further includes;
a connection management module configured to receive an associate request from the medical device and operable to establish a data connection with the medical device in accordance with IEEE standard 11073; and
a first application separate from the connection management module and residing on the diabetes care management device, wherein the first application interacts with the connection management module to communicate via the connection with the medical device.

Abstract
A diabetes management system is provided that supports connectivity of applications residing on a medical device. The diabetes management system includes a medical device that performs a diabetes care function in relation to a patient and a diabetes care management device in data communication with the medical device. The diabetes care management device is comprised generally of a connection management module and at least one application separate from the connection management module. The connection management module is configured to receive an associate request from the medical device and operable to establish a data connection with the medical device in accordance with IEEE standard 11073, such that the applications interacts with the connection management module to communicate via the data connection with the medical device.
