Abstract: A communication platform at least partially implements secure communications between a medical device and a trusted authority (TA) service provider. The secure communications prevent access to the secure communications by the communication platform while permitting access to the secure communications at the medical device and/or at the trusted authority service provider.

Abstract: A stimulation protocol determination system includes an input module and a selector module. The input module is provided to receive an indication of an upper airway flow limitation via sensed respiratory effort information. The selection module is provided to automatically select, based on the indicated upper airway flow limitation, a stimulation protocol.

Abstract: An electrode cuff includes a first elongate portion and a second elongate portion. The first elongate portion is configured to removably contact a length of a nerve while the second elongate portion extends outwardly at an angle relative to a first side edge of the first elongate portion to at least partially wrap about the nerve. The electrode cuff includes a first series of electrodes that is spaced apart longitudinally along the first elongate portion. A width of the second elongate portion is sized to fit between adjacent branches extending from a nerve.

Abstract: A patient control is disclosed that facilitates operation of an implantable medical device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described and illustrated for percutaneously implanting a stimulation lead for treating sleep-related disordered breathing.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide for receiving, at a remote server, first data and a first sharing key acquired from a first processor associated with a first medical practice, and receiving, at the remote server, second data and a second sharing key acquired from a second processor associated with a second medical practice. The methods and systems provide for comparing, by the remote server, the first sharing key to the second sharing key, and granting, to the first and second processors by the remote server, access to the first and second data stored in the remote server in response to a successful comparison of the first and second sharing keys. The methods and systems provide for sharing, by the remote server, the first and second data with the first and second processors in response to the grant of access.

Abstract: A method comprises establishing communication between a therapy device implantable in a patient and a consumer electronic device operable by the patient. The method comprises controlling, by the consumer electronic device, a predetermined set of therapy device functions in response to patient inputs to the consumer electronic device. The method also comprises transmitting therapy data from the therapy device to the consumer electronic device. The method further comprises presenting therapy data on a display of the consumer electronic device.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide for interrogating a medical device associated with a patient to obtain device data using a first processor, and transmitting the device data from the first processor to a remote server. Patient-generated data is produced using a second processor and transmitted from the second processor to the remote server. Clinician-generated data is produced using a third processor and transmitted from the third processor to the remote server. The remote server aggregates the device data and one or both of the patient-generated data and the clinician-generated data to produce aggregated patient data. The aggregated patient data is accessed at the remote server by at least one of the first, second, and third processors or a separate processor. The aggregated patient data is displayed on a display coupled to at least one of the first, second, and third processors or the separate processor.

Abstract: An electronic medical device includes a first portion, with the first portion including a first insertion hole and an external surface. The first insertion hole is to removably receive an elongate element. The external surface of the first portion comprises a first position indicator, which is located to be visibly juxtaposed relative to a first operative element of the elongate element when the elongate element is fully inserted in the first insertion hole. In some instances, the position indicator may serve a dual function as a vent.

Abstract: A self-powered sensor to produce an output signal corresponding to physiologic change.

Abstract: A medical device comprises a non-gripping portion and a tool-gripping portion.

Abstract: An implantable medical device includes at least one conductive element and an associated attenuation arrangement to attenuate MRI energy.

Abstract: An apparatus to monitor at least one sleep parameter and/or at least one cardiac parameter.

Abstract: A first sensing element including an accelerometer-based sensor for sleep disordered breathing (SDB) care.
