First Claim
1. An integrated device, comprising:
- a housing having no user interface, the housing including a blood glucose meter and a first data communication unit; and
a medication infusion device including a user interface unit and a second data communication unit, the user interface unit configured to output one or more data associated with a blood glucose level or medication infusion, the second data communication unit configured to communicate with the first data communication unit;
wherein a portion of the housing is configured to contain the medication infusion device when the medication infusion device is detachably coupled to the housing; and
furtherwherein the second data communication unit is configured to receive one or more signals associated with a blood sample analyzed by the blood glucose meter only when the medication infusion device is coupled to the housing.

Abstract
A glucose meter module integrated into a holster device that can securely accommodate another device such as a portable server device or an insulin pump is described. The glucose measuring module and the health device communicate with each other by a short range wireless modality. In the case in which the accommodated device is a server, such as personal digital assistant or cell phone, the device stores data in a memory, displays data on a visual display, and can wirelessly transmit such data to other devices within a personal area network. In the case where the accommodated device is a cell phone, the phone can further transmit data to remote sites. In the case where the accommodated device is an insulin pump, wirelessly received data are stored in a memory, are available for visual display on the insulin pump, and can be incorporated into the electronic processes that regulate the performance of the pump.
