The present disclosure refers to a method for operating a system, the system comprising a medical device, having at least one of a sensor device for sensing medical data and a medication delivery device for delivering medication, a portable electronic consumer device, an intermediate device provided with a first communication protocol for data communication with the portable electronic consumer device and a second communication protocol for data communication with the medical device, and a control module provided in the intermediate device, the method comprising, in the control module, receiving control data from the portable electronic consumer device by a receiving functionality provided in the control module, the control data being configured for controlling operation of the medical device, determining whether the control data can be confirmed by a confirmation functionality provided in the control module, and if the control data are confirmed, transmitting the control data to the medical device by a transmission functionality provided in the control module. Further, a system is provided.

Method for operating a system and a system

The present disclosure refers to a method for operating a system, the system comprising a medical device (), having at least one of a sensor device for sensing medical data and a medication delivery device for delivering medication, a portable electronic consumer device (), an intermediate device () provided with a first communication protocol for data communication with the portable electronic consumer device () and a second communication protocol for data communication with the medical device (), and a control module () provided in the intermediate device (), the method comprising, in the control module (), receiving control data from the portable electronic consumer device () by a receiving functionality provided in the control module (), the control data being configured for controlling operation of the medical device (), determining whether the control data can be confirmed by a confirmation functionality provided in the control module (), and if the control data are confirmed, transmitting the control data to the medical device () by a transmission functionality provided in the control module (). Further, a system is provided.

The present disclosure relates to a control system for controlling a medical system. The control system comprising: a portable device, a transmitter placed in a location of a local use environment of the portable device, and a data handling system comprising a detection module, a data interface, and a device controller functionally connected to the detection module and the data interface. The data handling system is configured to detect local vicinity of the portable device to the at least one transmitter by the detection module, receive input data from the at least one transmitter via the data interface, generate device control data for a medical device, comprising processing of the input data, and transmitting the device control data to a control device. Furthermore, a portable device, a method for controlling a medical system, and a computer program product for controlling a medical system by a control system are disclosed.
