Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for determining settings of a medical device associated with a patient. The apparatus comprises a) means for receiving a patient-specific value of a least one parameter; b) means for generating a profile for the patient based on the patient-specific value; and c) means for determining a setting of at least one operating parameter of the medical device based on a comparison of the profile for the patient with stored profiles of the patient and/or of other patients in a storage medium, each stored profile comprising a stored setting of the at least one operating parameter and a stored patient-specific value of the at least one parameter.

Abstract: A system for identifying an active medical implant, comprising an active medical implant configured to store information related to the active medical implant in a memory of the active medical implant, wherein the active medical implant has a first short-range communication module; and a mobile terminal having a second short-range communication module configured to directly communicate with the first short-range communication module of the active medical implant via a communication link, wherein the active medical implant is configured to transmit the information related to the active medical implant to the mobile terminal via the communication link.

Abstract: A system for operating an active medical implant, comprising an active medical implant configured to store information related to a patient's health status in a memory of the active medical implant, wherein the active medical implant has a first short-range communication module; and a mobile terminal having a second short-range communication module configured to directly communicate with the first short-range communication module of the active medical implant via a communication link, wherein the active medical implant is configured to transmit the information related to the patient's health status to the mobile terminal via the communication link.

Abstract: Methods and systems for securely communicating with an implant. A method of communication by a local communication system, with an implant and with a remote communication system may comprise the steps of: receiving a user input indicative of first data to be transmitted to the implant, transmitting a first indication associated with the user input to the remote communication system for processing, prior to sending the first data to the implant. Additionally or alternatively, the method may comprise receiving second data from the implant, and, without accessing the second data, transmitting a second indication associated with the second data to the remote communication system for processing.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for ensuring patient compliance during a recovery process. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a dialogue-based medical decision system comprising a receiver for receiving data associated with a health state of the patient sent from a device associated with the patient and a processing unit adapted to select a message associated with the health state of the patient based on the received data and based on stored patient data. Moreover, the dialogue-based medical decision system comprises a transmitter for transmitting the message to the device and/or another device associated with the patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to optimizing a health state of a patient. An apparatus comprises a) means for receiving a patient-specific value of at least one parameter; b) means for generating a profile for the patient based at least in part on the patient-specific value; c) means for selecting a stored profile out of one or more stored profiles of the patient and/or of other patients in a storage medium, the selecting based on a comparison of the stored profile and the generated profile for the patient, wherein the stored profile comprises a stored feedback and a stored patient-specific value of the at least one parameter; and d) means for providing feedback to patient based on the stored feedback.
