Therapy management system

A method of accessing stored data over a computer network through a network data manager, the method comprising:

• receiving a request message at the network data manager from a client device for access to a data storage facility, the request message including an access requestor identifier;
• determining at the network data manager that the access requestor identifier is associated with a data record that identifies a product device having a registration record;
• and
• transmitting a data link to the client device, wherein the data link provides access to the data record by the client device over the computer network for a predetermined time period such that access to the data record is halted upon expiration of the predetermined time period.

A network data manager comprising:

• a memory;
• a network communications block adapted for communications with the computer network;
• a processor coupled to the memory and the network communications block;
• wherein the processor receives an extracted data log and identifier over the computer network from a portable infusion system, wherein the identifier is associated with a portable infusion device and the extracted data log contains data comprising at least a portion of data stored in memory of the portable infusion device, and sends an upload success message to the portable infusion system in response successful receipt of the extracted data log and a determination that the identifier is associated with a data record that identifies a registration record of the portable infusion device;
• and
• wherein the upload success message includes a data link, such that the data link provides access to the data record by the portable infusion system until the data link is automatically canceled, wherein access to the data record is halted upon the data link being canceled.

A method of data transfer over a computer network, the method comprising:

• authenticating a product device by an uploader application executing at a host device;
• extracting a data log from the authenticated product device by the uploader application;
• uploading the extracted data log from the host device to a data record at a data storage facility over the computer network;
• receiving a data link at the host device from a network data manager in response to uploading of the extracted data log at the data storage facility;
• generating a display of the received data link by the uploader application, wherein the data link provides access to the data record by the host device over the computer network for a predetermined time period such that access to the data record is halted upon expiration of the predetermined time period.

A portable infusion device for transferring data over a computer network, the portable infusion device comprising:

• a memory that stores data of the portable infusion device;
• a network communications block adapted for communications with the computer network;
• a processor coupled to the memory and the network communications block;
• wherein the processor sends an upload request to a host computer, the upload request including a product identifier of the portable infusion device, the processor further sending at least a portion of the data stored in the memory, and wherein the host computer receives the upload request and upon authenticating the portable infusion device sends the extracted data log and identifier over the computer network to a network data manager, and receives an upload success message from the network data manager in response to a successful sending of the extracted data log and a determination that the identifier is associated with a data record at the network data manager that identifies a product device having a registration record.

A portable infusion device for transferring data over a computer network, the portable infusion system comprising:

• a memory that stores data of a portable infusion device;
• a network communications block adapted for communications with the computer network;
• a processor coupled to the memory and the network communications block;
• wherein the processor responds to an upload request by extracting a data log comprising at least a portion of the data stored in the memory and an identifier associated with the portable infusion device, and wherein the processor sends the extracted data log and identifier via the network communications block over the computer network to a network data manager, and receives an upload success message from the network data manager in response to a successful sending of the extracted data log and a determination that the identifier is associated with a data record at the network data manager that identifies the portable infusion device as having a registration record;
• wherein the upload success message includes a data link, such that the data link provides access to the data record by the portable infusion device until the data link is automatically canceled, wherein access to the data record is halted upon the data link being canceled.

A portable infusion system for transferring data over a computer network, the portable infusion system comprising:

• a memory that stores data of a portable infusion device;
• a network communications block adapted for communications with the computer network;
• a processor coupled to the memory and the network communications block;
• wherein the processor responds to an upload request by authenticating the portable infusion device and extracting a data log comprising at least a portion of the data stored in the memory and an identifier associated with the portable infusion device, and wherein the processor sends the extracted data log and identifier over the computer network to a network data manager, and receives an upload success message from the network data manager in response to a successful sending of the extracted data log and a determination that the identifier is associated with a data record at the network data manager that identifies a product device having a registration record;
• wherein the upload success message includes a data link, such that the data link provides access to the data record by the portable infusion system until the data link is automatically canceled, wherein access to the data record is halted upon the data link being canceled;
• wherein the upload success message is sent in response to a received confirmation request message, and the upload success message is received only after a valid device confirmation response is sent.

A method of transferring data over a computer network from a portable infusion system, the method comprising:
