Patent number: 11998692Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide communications among respiratory therapy device (“TD”), server and intermediary (e.g., a control device (“CTLD”) for the therapy device) to improve security. More secure communication channel(s) may be established using shared secrets derived with different channels. The communications may include transmitting therapy data from TD to server for authentication. The CTLD may receive the data and a nonce from a server. The CTLD receives from the TD a signing key dependent on the nonce and a secret shared by TD and server. The CTLD generates an authorisation code with received therapy data and the key for authentication of the data by the server upon its receipt of the code and data. The server computes (1) a key from the nonce and the secret known to TD, and (2) another authorisation code from received therapy data and the key. Data authentication may involve comparing received and computed codes.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2023Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: ResMed Inc.Inventors: Brian Hickey, Christopher John Roberts, Chinmayee Somaiya, Wendall Eric Trull, Luke Anthony Tucker, Amila Jeewaka Fernando

Publication number: 20240111834Abstract: A server is provided and is programmed to automatically determine, based on the identification data that uniquely identifies a patient device, whether there is an upgrade to the code or data (e.g., software or firmware) stored in the electronic memory of the patient device that can be applied thereto. In response to determination that there is an upgrade that can be applied, a data package is delivered to the patient device via the first wireless transceiver, the data package to be automatically applied to the electronic memory of the patient device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Wendall Eric TRULL, Boris KOVTUN, Tara KALRO, Joseph WHITE, Chinmayee SOMAIYA, Amila FERNANDO, Andrew WEALE, Maurizio BORSOTTO

Patent number: 11931508Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for performing diagnostics on patient devices (720). The patient devices (720) may include respiratory therapy devices that operate in accordance with instruction sets, such as software or firmware. A server (710) may maintain a database of diagnostic data (718) indicating faults in one or more of a plurality of patient devices (720). The server (710) may transmit this diagnostic data (718) to one or more computing devices (760), including identification of faults that have occurred. The server (710) may also transmit service data to the plurality of patient devices (720) in order to address the identified faults.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: ResMed Inc.Inventors: Peter Delangre, Andrew Roderick Bath, Paul Frederick Birchall, Dawn Rosemary Churchill, Graham Stephen Cutcliffe, Peter James Dassos, Mina Samir Kirollos, Rehana Nathwani, Chinmayee Somaiya, Hayden Thomas Stephenson, Bradley Scott Templeton, Wendall Eric Trull, Natalie Zotelo

Publication number: 20240050677Abstract: A system and method for updating patient devices is disclosed. The patient devices may include respiratory therapy devices that operate in accordance with instruction sets, such as software or firmware. A server may maintain a database of configuration data indicating the versions of the software and firmware that is currently installed on the patient devices. The server may also transmit updated instructions from over a network, including a wireless network. Particular patient devices may be selected for updating based on the configuration data. Upon performing an update a patient device may transmit configuration data to the server.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: ResMed Inc.Inventors: Peter DELANGRE, Paul Frederick Birchall, Dawn Rosemary Churchill, Graham Stephen Cutcliffe, Christopher John Roberts, Chinmayee Somaiya, Bradley Scott Templeton, Wendall Eric Trull, Matthew Scott Tyler
