  • Patent number: 7529921
    Abstract: A system including a communication circuit and a microprocessor operable to execute instruction code associated with at least a first operating system and a second operating system. The system also includes a volatile system memory to store executable code, a nonvolatile memory to store executable startup code, and nonvolatile image storage to store at least one captured state image. The captured state image includes an image of system memory in a captured state associated with a non-executing operating system. The system further includes a system transition routine to transition between the executing operating system and the non-executing operating system when an application to be run on the microprocessor requires the non-executing operating system. The system transition routine converts content of volatile memory and microprocessor registers to a captured state in accordance with the non-executing operating system captured state image stored in the nonvolatile image storage.

  • Publication number: 20070226013
    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for generating data in a standardized machine-readable format. A method receives data from one or more patient health monitors at a centralized repository. The method then generates one or more files containing at least a portion of the data and stores the files in a secured web folder. The method then permits access to the files based on one or more security schemes.

  • Publication number: 20070220006
    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for generating data in a standardized machine-readable format. A method monitors a secured area in a centralized repository; detects the creation of one or more files at the centralized repository, wherein the files include patient-related data, and in response to detecting the creation: connects to the centralized repository from a computer associated with a medical practice; authenticates the connection to access a secured area; and accesses one or more files in the secured area.

  • Publication number: 20050192649
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing variable medical information. In some cases, the systems include elements operable to receive information from a number of implantable medical devices and to provide a common format information set. Thus, in one exemplary case, two types of encoded binary information is received from different implantable medical devices. This information can be converted to a desired format, and assembled into a common medical information database.

  • Publication number: 20050192844
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for gathering, formatting, storing and/or distributing medical information. In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides for centralized maintenance of medical information derived from a patient visit, and for distributed access to various medical information by, for example, researchers, the patient, the patient's physician, a specialist, and/or other recipients. Thus, for example, a patient may visit their physician and during that visit the physician may read information from an implantable medical device associated with the patient, make other objective measurements of the patient, and record various subjective information about the patient. All of this information can be uploaded and maintained on a variably accessible system.

  • Publication number: 20050192843
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for gathering, formatting, validating, storing and/or distributing medical information. In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides for centralized validation and maintenance of medical information derived from a patient visit. Thus, for example, a patient may visit his/her physician and during that visit the physician may read information from an implantable medical device associated with the patient, make other objective measurements of the patient, and record various subjective information about the patient. All of this information can be uploaded, validated and maintained on a variably accessible system. In some embodiments the validation process can occur in a single user communication session, or otherwise in a near real-time process.

  • Publication number: 20050192837
    Abstract: Systems and methods for gathering medical data. In some cases, the systems comprise a server with a computer readable medium. The computer readable medium includes instructions executable to provide an access tool via a communication network. The access tool includes instructions executable to receive a first data set from an implantable medical device, provide a first user interface that includes an upload request, provide a second user interface that identifies the first data set derived from an implantable medical device, and communicate the first data set to the server via a communication network.

  • Publication number: 20050192836
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering and gathering medical diagnostic data. In some cases, the methods include receiving a data set originating from an implantable medical device and identifying a review group associated with data set. The review group can include one or more members that can be, for example, versed in providing medical diagnosis based at least in part on information derived from implantable medical devices. The data set originating from the implantable medical device is communicated to at least one member of the review group, and an analysis of the data set is received from the at least one member of the review group.
