1. A computer-implemented method for transferring medical data from a handheld medical recording device to a host computer, comprising:
- accessing, by a patient computer, a patient account using a web browser, where the account resides on the host computer and is associated with a patient;
by the patient computer, downloading a device transfer component from the host computer via network;
installing the device transfer component on the patient computer;
when the device transfer component is launched for a first time after installation, by the device transfer component;
accessing the patient account residing at the host computer;
receiving a unique identifier of the handheld medical recording device from the handheld medical recording device;
storing the unique identifier of the handheld medical recording device in memory of the patient computer; and
transmitting the unique identifier of the handheld medical recording device to the host computer;
establishing, at the host computer, an association between the patient account and the unique identifier of the handheld medical recording device;
receiving, by the device transfer component, an authentication token from the host computer;
receiving, by the device transfer component from the handheld medical recording device, blood glucose (bG) measurements and the unique identifier of the handheld medical recording device;
determining, by the device transfer component, whether the unique identifier of the handheld medical recording device received with the bG measurements matches the unique identifier of the handheld medical recording device stored in the memory of the patient computer;
in response to determining that the unique identifier of the handheld medical recording device received with the bG measurements matches the unique identifier of the handheld medical recording device stored in the memory of the patient computer, passing, by the device transfer component, the bG measurements, along with the authentication token, to the host computer over the network; and
in response to determining that the authentication token is associated with the patient account, associating, at the host computer, the bG measurements with the patient account, where the association is made using the authentication token received with the bG measurements.
