A communication method of managing communications to and from a handset device controlling a therapeutic product delivery device is described. The method comprises transmitting, to a server, at least part of a unique identifier for a handset device for controlling a therapeutic product delivery device, and patient information regarding a user to be associated with the handset device, and at the server, associating the handset device with the patient information, generating a handset specific code, and transmitting the handset specific code to the user. At the handset device, a manual input of the handset specific code is received, and the future transmission of data from the handset device to the server carried out in association with the handset specific code. In this way, the server can be sure that the user is in possession of the handset (because the user received the code via the secure portal, and was required to manually input it to the handset), and can therefore be confident that communications received in association with that code are associated with the correct user and handset.

Managing communications to and from a handset device controlling a therapeutic product delivery device

A handset device is described, which comprises a first radio transceiver for receiving status information from a medical device worn by a patient, the first radio transceiver being operable only while the handset device is in an active state, and a second radio transceiver for communicating the status information to a remote server, the second radio transceiver being inoperable when the handset device is in the active state. The handset device also comprises a controller, responsive to a first predetermined condition to transition the handset device from the active state to a low power state in which both the first radio transceiver and the second radio transceiver are inoperable. During the transition from the active state to the low power state, the second radio transceiver is used to communicate the status information to the remote server. This process enables status data to be synchronized periodically to the remote server without impairing the function of the medical device. More particularly, this process advantageously triggers synchronization such that (a) the user does not have to take any action to cause synchronization, (b) the synchronization occurs at a time when it is safe for an RF transmission to the server to occur, and (c) the synchronization is timely&#x2014;that is, updates are sent soon after they have been logged on the handset device.
