Often when a patient is diagnosed with an ongoing or chronic health care condition, it is desirable to prescribe an ongoing treatment regimen to that patient. In this type of environment, a user interface device (12) performs a self registration and patient association over a public or private network (20) to avoid the process of having to be registered and associated in a factory setting. The interface device (12) contacts a registration server (32) over a public or private network (20) and presents factory-configured credentials. The registration server (32) upon proper authentication of the device (12) then directs the device (12) to a configuration server that will associate it with a particular patient or treatment regimen. One the patient's treatment is complete, the device (12) can be returned and re associated with another patient, effectively recycling the device (12). |
