  • Patent number: 11904174
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to providing secure gatekeeping of communication from a remote internet-based website having an Internet-Protocol (IP) address to an implantable biomedical device. A gatekeeping device receives the communication transmitted by the remote internet-based website. The communication received is encoded using a first encoding algorithm. The gatekeeping device decodes the communication received. The gatekeeping device then encodes the communication decoded using a second encoding algorithm. The gatekeeping device wirelessly relays the communication encoded using the second encoding algorithm to the implantable biomedical device.
