COMPONENT ARCHITECTURE FOR MEDICAL DEVICE SYSTEM NETWORKS

摘要

A component-based software architecture environment is provided for information networks used for administering one or more implantable medical devices (IMDs) in one or more patients. Various interface schema which may b e used in implementing an IMD network are povided, as well as common interface s for development of software within the network environment. The information network, and the software used in and implementing the network, may be upgraded and developed in a distributed and incremental manner, without requiring modification of entire systems or device instructions.
