In the home, hospital, or clinic, medical devices provide an important therapeutic function. They are also valuable sources of information about treatment patterns at the point of care. These devices have been independent islands of valuable information, unable to share the data they gather with surveillance or therapeutic information resources.

Mobile medical devices move from place to place as independent actors, raising a series of security and identification issues when they need to be disconnected and reconnected using traditional tethered cables. Wireless health provides the promise of a mobile and connected care coordination for patients but the lack of standards and misuse of current consumer grade standards has made integration a complex and ad hoc solution at best.
