SYSTEMS, DEVICES, COMPONENTS AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATING WITH AN IMD USING A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND A MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE

摘要

The present disclosure involves a method of communicating with an implantable medical device. An authentication process is performed to verify an identity of a user of a mobile computing device. A request is received from the user to access an implantable medical device via the mobile computing device. Based on the identity of the user, a first user interface suitable for the user is selected from a plurality of user interfaces that are each configured to control an implantable medical device. The plurality of user interfaces have different visual characteristics and different levels of access to the implantable medical device. The first user interface is displayed on the mobile computing device.

主权项

1. A medical system, comprising:
an implantable medical device; a mobile computing device, the mobile computing device including a screen, wherein the mobile computing device is configured to display on the screen:
in response to an authentication of a first user, a first user interface for controlling the implantable medical device based on one or more first commands received from the first user; andin response to an authentication of a second user, a second user interface for controlling the implantable medical device based on one or more second commands received from the second user, wherein the first user interface and the second user interface have different visual appearances, and wherein the first and second user interfaces are associated with different levels of access to the implantable medical device; and a portable electronic device, wherein the portable electronic device includes:
a first communications component configured to conduct telecommunications with the implantable medical device under a first communications protocol; anda second communications component configured to conduct telecommunications with the mobile computing device under a second communications protocol different from the first communications protocol; and wherein the portable electronic device is configured to use the first and second communications components to relay the one or more first commands or the one or more second commands to the implantable medical device.
