1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more processor-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:
associating a medical device with an intermediate device configured for automatic retransmission of data to the medical device;
obtaining, from the medical device via the intermediate device, measurement data correlative to a condition of a user;
determining updated control information for the medical device based at least in part on the measurement data;
receiving an acknowledgement from the intermediate device that a communication session has been established between the intermediate device and a monitoring device, wherein the intermediate device automatically provides the acknowledgement responsive to a second communication session being established between the intermediate device and the medical device; and
in response to receiving the acknowledgement from the intermediate device, streaming the updated control information to the medical device based on communicating the updated control information to the intermediate device such that the updated control information is not maintained on the intermediate device, wherein the medical device and a monitoring device that determines the updated control information for the medical device communicate on different types of communication networks, and wherein the intermediate device is configured to serve as an interface between the medical device and the monitoring device communicating on the different types of communications networks.
