Patent number: 11986663Abstract: A user interface of a computing device for programming a medical device configured to review historical user session data while disconnected from the medical device. During a programming session, the user interface on the computing device may include features to control the functionality of the medical device as well as view and manipulate available data stored at the medical device. The user interface may interactively view screens and features and manipulate data using the programming user interface, e.g., as if the external programming device were in a live programming session with the medical device, but while disconnected from the medical device and not in a live programming session. As one example, the user interface of the external programming device may permit flexible, extensive manipulation and viewing of sensed signals, patient events, and operational information, such as patient adjustments made over time or coincident with particular signals or events.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Thomas L. Chouinard, Evan D. Schnell, Karan Chitkara, Lukas Valine, Ilan D. Gordon

Patent number: 11742066Abstract: A system to verify the identity of a recipient requesting fulfillment of a prescription for a pharmaceutical product includes a point-of-sale retail personal identification number entry device (pinpad) and a workstation that stop a transaction for the pharmaceutical product from proceeding in response to a request associated with a claim for dispensing the pharmaceutical product. A first input for data identifying a member of a rewards program is entered with the pinpad, and a second input for data identifying a recipient of the prescription is entered with the workstation. The workstation compares the data identifying the member of the rewards program against the data identifying the recipient of the prescription. If there is a match between the data identifying the member of the rewards program and the data identifying the recipient of the prescription, the pinpad and workstation allow the transaction for the pharmaceutical product to proceed.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: WALGREEN CO.Inventors: Nicolet L.
