Abstract: A system and method for facilitating bi-directional authentication between an external device and an implanted medical device (IMD), wherein a therapy application executing on the external device is operative to communicate with the IMD via wireless telemetry communications. Certified security credentials for respective devices may be provisioned with respect to the therapy application. Upon initiating wireless telemetry communications, respective certified security credentials are mutually verified by the external device and the IMD. Responsive to successful verification, a mutual authentication process may be executed between the external device and the IMD using a respective challenge-response sequence.

Abstract: A system and method for operating an implanted medical device (IMD) based on a waveform player. In one arrangement, the IMD may comprise a first module operative to effectuate a communication interface with an external device for receiving a plurality of program records for storage in a persistent memory, the program records each comprising a plurality of pulse definitions and a plurality of time interval definitions, wherein a pulse definition comprises a set of pulse characteristics to be applied in a particular time interval. A second module may be communicatively coupled to the first module, the second module including a buffer for containing a runtime image of a selected program record loaded from the persistent memory.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for providing neurostimulation therapy according to patient features. The patient features may be analyzed to develop a patient model between physiological and/or patient reported features and optimal settings for a neurostimulation therapy using machine learning operations. The model is used to control ongoing neurostimulation therapy for the patient.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for providing neurostimulation therapy according to patient features. The patient features may be analyzed to develop a patient model between physiological and/or patient reported features and optimal settings for a neurostimulation therapy using machine learning operations. The model is trained using data corresponding to time intervals in which electrical pulses are applied to the patient, including video kinematic data, patient reported pain levels, implanted or worn sensor patient data, and stimulation parameters. The model is used to control ongoing neurostimulation therapy for the patient.

Abstract: An Implantable Medical Device (IMD) communicates to a charger device using an RF communications channel. Temperature sensors in the IMD obtain temperature measurements during wireless charging, and the IMD then transmits the temperature measurements to the charger device over the RF communications channel. Using these temperature measurements, the charger device determines whether heat mitigation for the IMD is needed during wireless charging.
