  • Publication number: 20230046704
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for detecting change in patient health and if a change in patient health is detected, direct a medical device to generate for display output indicating the detection of the change in patient health. An example medical system or technique applies a model to values of configurable settings that are programmed into detection logic of a medical device; based on the application, determine whether modified values of the configurable settings, when implemented by the detection logic, would change a determination, by the medical device, regarding whether sensed physiological activity is indicative of cardiac episode for a patient; and in response to a determination that the modified values would change the determination regarding whether the sensed physiological activity is indicative of the cardiac episode for the patient, generate output data indicative of the modified values for the configurable settings for the medical device.

  • Publication number: 20220362563
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media facilitating management of operation of an implantable medical device (“IMD”) using a number of communication modes are provided. An IMD is configured to operate in a disabled mode wherein radio frequency (RF) telemetry communication is disabled, or operate in a first advertising mode using the RF telemetry communication. The IMD receives a clinician session request from a clinician device via an induction telemetry protocol while operating in the disabled mode or the first advertising mode, and transitions to operating from the disabled mode or the first advertising mode to operating in a second advertising mode based on receiving the clinician session request. From the second advertising mode, the IMD can establish a clinician telemetry session with the clinician device using the RF telemetry communication and a unique security mechanism facilitated by an identifier for the clinician device included in the clinician session request.

  • Patent number: 11315683
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10639487
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media that mitigate device power drain associated with stalled telemetry sessions are provided. In one embodiment, a first device includes a memory and a processor that executes executable components stored in the memory. The executable components include a communication component configured to receive a communication request from a second device via a telemetry communication link established between the first and second devices. The communication request can comprise a request for data. The executable components can also comprise a throughput monitoring component configured to monitor uplink throughput measuring successful transmission of the data by the first device to the second device via the telemetry communication link based on reception of the communication request. The communication component is configured to terminate the telemetry communication link based on the uplink throughput being below a threshold value.
