Publication number: 20250061993Abstract: Techniques for automatic network configuration based on biometric authentication are described herein. In some embodiments, the techniques may involve obtaining first biometric data from a first device that is substantially attachable to or substantially worn on a body of a user. The techniques may further involve obtaining second biometric data from a second device that is substantially attachable to or substantially worn on the body of the user. The techniques may further involve comparing the first biometric data and the second biometric data. The techniques may further involve determining that the first biometric data and the second biometric data correspond to the same user based on the comparison. The techniques may further involve establishing a communication link with the second device based on the determination that the second device is attached to the body of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2024Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventors: Afshin Bazargan, Patrick E. Weydt, Hans K. Wenstad, Adam S. Trock, Seung C. Shin, Samuel Finney

Publication number: 20250014708Abstract: Techniques for automatically configuring a medical device with user-specific configuration data are provided. In some embodiments, the techniques may involve determining, by a first medical device, that the first medical device is being removed from service on a patient based at least in part on detecting removal of a portion of the first medical device from contact with or being coupled to the patient. The techniques may further involve in response to determining that the first medical device is being removed from service on the patient, communicating user-specific configuration data used by the first medical device to a second medical device, wherein the second medical device is a replacement medical device for the first medical device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Afshin Bazargan, Patrick E. Weydt, Hans K. Wenstad, Adam S. Trock, Seung C. Shin, Samuel Finney

Patent number: 12159697Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques for automatic network configuration based on biometric authentication are described herein. In one example, one or more processors may obtain first biometric data derived from one or more sensor signals generated by one or more sensors of a first device coupled to a user. The one or more processors may obtain second biometric data derived from one or more sensor signals generated by one or more sensors of a second device. The one or more processors may compare the first biometric data and the second biometric data, determine that the second device is coupled to the user based on the comparison, and establish a communication link with the second device based on the determination that the second device is coupled to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2021Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.Inventors: Afshin Bazargan, Patrick E. Weydt, Hans K. Wenstad, Adam S. Trock, Seung C. Shin, Samuel Finney
