1. A first device comprising:
a housing;
sensing circuitry, within the housing, configured to obtain sensed physiological data of a patient;
a memory within the housing; and
a processor, within the housing, configured to:
negotiate one or more encryption keys with a second device in accordance with a wireless telemetry protocol in response to receipt of a request, from the second device, to establish a connection using the wireless telemetry protocol; and
based on receipt of validation information from the second device, the provision of the validation information not defined by the wireless telemetry protocol:
associate the one or more encryption keys and an identifier for the second device with a first data in the memory that characterizes the second device as authorized to establish the connection in accordance with the wireless telemetry protocol;
establish the connection with the second device in accordance with the wireless telemetry protocol; and
transmit the sensed physiological data of the patient to the second device via the established connection.
