Abstract: Implementations relate to a method for establishing an end-to-end encrypted data communication link between a portable medical apparatus and a data-management device. The method comprises at least the following steps: out-of-band transmission of a public key from the medical apparatus to the data-management device, wherein the transmission does not take place via Bluetooth; setting up an encrypted Bluetooth data communication link between the medical apparatus and the data-management device; transmitting a public key from the data-management device to the medical apparatus via the Bluetooth link that has been set up; calculating a combined key on the data-management device and on the medical apparatus; setting up an end-to-end encrypted link between the medical apparatus and the data-management device using the combined key, such as a symmetrical, key.

Abstract: A medical monitoring system increases patient safety and confidence. The system has a disposable injection device with a container holder for holding a container such as a cartridge or a syringe with a liquid drug for subcutaneous injection. The system includes a passive machine-readable tag mounted to a device housing of the injection device and coding or storing drug information about the drug in the container. The system also includes an electronic module or supplemental device releasably attachable to the injection device. The electronic module comprises injection status sensing means for monitoring a status of an injection or for tracking progress of a medication event, as well as a tag reader different from the sensing means for reading drug information from the machine-readable tag. The system includes a drug status signaling or interfacing unit for signaling to a user a drug status based on, or derived from, the drug information.

Abstract: A method for establishing a secure connection for transmitting data between a medical device system and a mobile device with wireless communication module is provided, where the medical device system comprises one or multiple devices, where the method comprises multiple steps. On the basis of a non-secure connection, a secure connection is established on the basis of a joint movement of mobile device and at least one device of the medical device system. Movement data are evaluated for this purpose.

Abstract: A disposable module that can be coupled to a reusable module in order to form a pump for dispensing a medicament substance to a user in a metered manner in a coupled state, comprising a housing that encases the following components: a reservoir for receiving the substance to be dispensed; and at least one extensible cannula, which is fluidically connected to the reservoir either after being inserted or in a permanent manner. The disposable module may also comprise an electrical energy store, wherein the electrical energy necessary for the reusable module can be obtained both from the disposable module and also from a rechargeable battery in the reusable module, in order to ensure redundancy of the energy necessary for the reusable module.
