This article describes the creation of a communication system between smartphones and various medical devices, also there is an analysis of different approaches to data transfer between devices, such as manual data entry, screen scanning using a seven-segment display recognition system, and Bluetooth low energy. The practical part demonstrates a developed communication system using Bluetooth technology. There is also implemented an automatic communication between devices that requires no user actions.
