Apparatus for bi-directional communication with medical and wellness devices

摘要

An apparatus that can communicate with multiple medical and/or wellness devices and encode data for efficient transmission is described. The apparatus can detect the presence of and receive data from one or more medical and/or wellness devices. The apparatus can receive, decode, store, process, encode, and forward received data through a wired and/or wireless interface. The wired data interface utilizes encoding techniques to render the data stream compatible with audio inputs of personal computing and communication devices.
