Patent number: 11978544Abstract: Described are embodiments of methods and systems for using a removable data storage device to efficiently transfer medical data from a medical device to a remote server. In some embodiments, the medical device tracks transfer statuses of medical data stored on a local storage. A transfer status assigned to a data portion of the medical data may inform the medical device of whether that data portion needs to be transferred, has been transferred, or has been successfully ingested at the remote server. The medical device can use information stored on the removable data storage device in conjunction with the tracked transfer statuses to determine which portions of the stored medical data should be transferred to a physically coupled removable data storage device. After completing a data transfer process, the medical device can update transfer statuses of portions of medical data that was transferred to the removable data storage device.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Stephen Slezic, Yiu Lun Chu, Jessie Ying Chi Ng, Sandeep Kumar Thakur
