Continuous glucose monitoring systems transmit sensitive health data between implanted sensors, display devices, and healthcare records. These systems handle both urgent readings—glucose measurements that require immediate action—and non-urgent data like calibration parameters, with transmission frequencies ranging from every 5 minutes for glucose readings to hourly for system diagnostics. Security breaches in these communications could compromise patient safety and privacy.

The fundamental challenge lies in maintaining robust data security and regulatory compliance while ensuring reliable, real-time glucose data transmission with minimal power consumption.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including secure device pairing protocols, encrypted data transmission methods, selective data prioritization systems, and authentication frameworks for multiple display devices. These and other approaches focus on implementing practical security measures that work within the constraints of battery-powered medical devices while meeting healthcare compliance requirements.
