System and method for data exchange and charging
A method for data exchange and charging is provided. An implantable medical device is monitored and charging of the implantable medical device is initiated by providing charge parameters to a bedside monitor. Communication is initiated between a puck associated with the bedside monitor and implantable medical device. The implantable medical device is charged using the charge parameters. Simultaneously with the charging, transfer of data between the implantable medical device and the bedside monitor is initiated.
1. A method for data exchange and charging, comprising:
monitoring an implantable medical device;
initiating charging of the implantable medical device by providing charge parameters from the implantable medical device to a bedside monitor, comprising:
supporting communication between a puck associated with the bedside monitor and implantable medical device; and
charging of the implantable medical device by the puck using the charge parameters;
encrypting ECG data collected by the implantable medical device via the puck associated with the bedside monitor;
simultaneously with the charging, initiating by the puck transfer of the ECG data from the implantable medical device to the bedside monitor; and
programming the implantable medical device via the bedside monitor.
2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the implantable medical device comprises a supervisor chip to communication with charging circuitry on the puck.
3. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
controlling an amount of charge to the implantable medical device by generating a waveform via a communication bus.
4. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the transfer of data occurs via a charge waveform or Bluetooth.
5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the implantable medical device comprises a Bluetooth module that communications with a Bluetooth module in the puck.
6. A method according to claim 5 , wherein the puck communicates with the bedside monitor via a hardware platform on the bedside monitor.
7. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the data transferred from the implantable medical device to the puck associated with the bedside monitor is further transferred to a backend server.
8. A method according to claim 1 , wherein further data is transferred from a backend server to the implantable medical device.
9. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the transfer of the data occurs at predetermined times or on a daily basis, monthly basis or multiple times a day.
10. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the backend server provides the implantable medical device with initial charge parameters.
11. A method for data exchange and charging, comprising:
monitoring an implantable medical device;
initiating charging of the implantable medical device by providing charge parameters from the implantable medical device to a bedside monitor, comprising:
supporting communication between the bedside monitor and implantable medical device; and
charging of the implantable medical device by the puck using the charge parameters; and
simultaneously with the charging, initiating transfer of ECG data from the implantable medical device to the bedside monitor;
maintaining a continuous connection between the bedside monitor and cloud server to transfer the ECG data collected by the implantable medical device from the bedside monitor to the cloud server without authentication.
12. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the implantable medical device comprises a supervisor chip to communication with charging circuitry on the bedside monitor.
13. A method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
controlling an amount of charge to the implantable medical device by generating a waveform via a communication bus.
14. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the transfer of data occurs via a charge waveform or Bluetooth.
15. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the implantable medical device comprises a Bluetooth module that communications with a Bluetooth module in the bedside monitor.
16. A method according to claim 15 , wherein the bedside monitor communicates with the bedside monitor via a hardware platform on the bedside monitor.
17. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the data transferred from the implantable medical device to the bedside monitor is further transferred to a backend server.
18. A method according to claim 11 , wherein further data is transferred from a backend server to the implantable medical device.
19. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the transfer of the data occurs at predetermined times or on a daily basis, monthly basis or multiple times a day.
20. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the backend server provides the implantable medical device with initial charge parameters.
