I have two medical devices that force me to make a list of results for
the doctor. One is my blood pressure machine and the other is my
blood glucose tester.

I don't know if anyone else would find it useful, but I would like to
be able to transfer the data to my computer instead of having to write
it down. I know I can get an expensive model, but I think I have a
pretty economical solution by adding a USB port to each device.

Program the machines at the factory to send the data to an email
address stored on a USB wireless network adapter. I know that the
devices do not use this method now, but it would be an almost no cost
improvement if manufacturers would implement it.

Lots of nice ideas in this thread. However, most, if not all, medical
people, insurance and doctors, will not accept medical data via email.
As far as I'm concerned, I have no problem if someone sees my data,
however, the privacy thing and lawyers have got everyone running scared.
The good news is that most will accept a Fax because Faxes are
considered secure as they are point to point.
