Abstract
A portable storage case for housing a medical monitoring device is provided that facilitates communications with the medical monitoring device while the portable storage case is in transport. The portable storage case may also store the accessories required for the tests and a portable computing device for receiving additional data relating to the various activities of the patient. In order to communicate with the medical monitoring device, the portable storage case may include an integral data connector disposed in a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the medical monitoring device. As such, communication may be established between the integral data connector and a corresponding data connector carried by the medical monitoring device such that data collected by the medical monitoring device may be accessed, such as by being downloaded, once the medical monitoring device is disposed within the case.
