Abstract: Methods and devices provide a wireless communications hub device and services enabling remote access to electronic medical or fitness devices in a manner that simplifies device networking. A wireless communication hub device may include a processor and wireless communication transceivers configured to connect to cellular and/or WiFi networks to access a remote server, and wired and/or wireless local networks for connecting to electronic medical or fitness devices. The wireless communication hub device may plug into a power source, connect to an electronic medical or fitness device, and communicate via a second wireless network with an associated server-based service. The system enables discovery of the wireless communication hub device and connected electronic medical or fitness devices.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods implemented on a server for determining a network transmission path for medical data. The methods may include receiving a request from a requesting node to transmit medical data to a destination node, determining a list of qualified nodes for use in establishing a network for transmitting the medical data to the destination node, and determining at least one transmission path from the requesting node to the destination node using the list of qualified nodes. The method may further include deputizing each node in the at least one transmission path by sending each node in the at least one transmission path credentials that configure each node in the at least one transmission path to communicate the medical data according to a communications standard, and instructing the requesting node to transmit the medical data through the transmission path.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable classification levels to be assigned to air interfaces used to transmit medical data based on health regulatory requirements. A medical communication abstraction layer executing on a computing device (or node) may determine the requirements associated with a classification level and establish air interfaces meeting those requirements with other devices (or nodes) also having medical communication abstraction layers, thereby establishing a medical data network between the devices (or nodes) meeting the requirements for the classification level. Medical data may also be assigned classification levels, and the assigned classification level of the medical data may be used by the medical communication abstraction layers to determine the medical data networks over which the medical data may be transmitted.

Abstract: Provided are exemplary apparatus and methods for transmitting an over-the-air actionable message. In an example, a mobile device includes a detector to identify an over-the-air actionable messaging command that has a destination device identifier corresponding to a second mobile device. The mobile device also includes a message converter to convert the over-the-air messaging command into the actionable message, which has a destination corresponding to the destination device identifier of the second mobile device. Further, the mobile device has a transmitter to transmit the actionable message over-the-air to the second mobile device.
