Patent number: 11315683Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media that facilitate monitoring the integrity of telemetry connectivity between an implantable device and an external device are provided. In one embodiment, an implantable device includes a monitoring component that monitors advertisement signal information identifying an amount of advertisement signals transmitted to the external device within a defined time period, and telemetry session information identifying an amount of the telemetry sessions that are established between the external device and the implantable device within the defined time period. A connectivity assessment component of the implantable device further determines whether a telemetry connectivity problem exists between the external device and the implantable device based on a degree of miscorrelation between the advertisement signal information and the telemetry session information.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Matthew R.

Publication number: 20180137252Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided for monitoring a physiological condition of a patient. An exemplary method involves a client computing device monitoring a first network for an indication data is available from a monitoring device associated with the patient, and in response to detecting the indication, establishing a communications session with the monitoring device on the first network and receiving the measurement data from the monitoring device over the first network. The client computing device then uploads the measurement data to a remote device on a second network distinct from the first network. In exemplary embodiments, the client computing device also obtains event log data at the client computing device and uploads the event log data to the remote device on the second network. In one embodiment, the first network is a personal area network and the second network is a communications network.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2017Publication date: May 17, 2018Inventors: Nicholas S.
