Abstract

A medical device includes a treatment module configured to apply a treatment to a patient. The medical device includes an interface configured to operatively connect to a removable storage device storing authorization data that identifies a level of treatment authorization. The medical device includes a processing device configured to perform operations in response to receiving user input indicating a treatment should be initiated. The operations include determining whether the removable storage device is valid for use with the medical device. If the removable storage device is determined to be valid, the authorization data is accessed. The processing device determines whether the treatment is authorized based on the accessed authorization data. If the treatment is determined to be authorized, the treatment module is controlled to apply the treatment. If the treatment is determined to not be authorized, the treatment module is controlled such that the treatment is not applied.

Claims (47)

1. A method of operating a medical therapy system, the method comprising:

by a medical therapy device that includes electronic processing circuitry:

causing provision of a therapy to a wound of a patient;

generating a compliance data reflecting a degree to which a duration of provision of the therapy has complied with a therapy prescription; and

communicating the compliance data to one or more remote computing device; and

by the one or more remote computing devices that include at least one processor:

at a first time:

determining that the compliance data does not satisfy a compliance threshold; and

responsive to determining that the compliance data does not satisfy the compliance threshold, causing provision of an indication that the compliance data does not satisfy the compliance threshold.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein provision of the indication is performed on a user interface of the medical therapy device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication is provided to the patient via a cellular network.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, by the one or more remote computing devices:

receiving the therapy prescription from a physician; and

transmitting the therapy prescription to the medical therapy device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein receiving the therapy prescription from the physician is responsive to the physician diagnosing the patient with a particular health condition.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising, by the medical therapy device, activating provision of the therapy to the wound of the patient in response to receiving the therapy prescription, wherein provision of the therapy is performed according to the therapy prescription.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, by the one or more remote computing devices, transmitting an indication to the patient to contact a physician of the patient.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compliance threshold comprises 80%.

9. A medical therapy system comprising:

a medical therapy device including:

a driving circuitry configured to cause provision of a therapy to a wound of a patient;

a transmission circuitry configured to transmit data to one or more remote computing devices; and

an electronic processing circuitry configured to:

generate a compliance data reflecting a degree to which a duration of provision of the therapy has complied with a therapy prescription; and

cause the transmission circuitry to communicate the compliance data to the one or more remote computing devices; and

the one or more remote computing devices including at least one processor configured to:

responsive to a determination that the compliance data does not satisfy a compliance threshold, cause provision of an indication that the compliance data does not satisfy the compliance threshold.

10. The medical therapy system of claim 9 , wherein the medical therapy device further comprises a user interface, and wherein the indication is provided to the patient via the user interface.

11. The medical therapy system of claim 9 , wherein the indication is provided by the electronic processing circuitry responsive to a communication received from the one or more remote computing devices.

12. The medical therapy system of claim 9 , wherein the indication is provided to the patient via a cellular network.

13. The medical therapy system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more remote computing devices are further configured to:

receive the therapy prescription from a physician; and

transmit the therapy prescription to the transmission circuitry.

14. The medical therapy system of claim 13 , wherein receipt of the therapy prescription from the physician is responsive to the physician diagnosing the patient with a particular health condition.

15. The medical therapy system of claim 13 , wherein the electronic processing circuitry is further configured to activate provision of the therapy to the wound of the patient in response to receipt of the therapy prescription, and wherein provision of the therapy is performed according to the therapy prescription.

16. The medical therapy system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more remote computing devices are further configured to transmit an indication to the patient to contact a physician of the patient.

17. The medical therapy system of claim 9 , wherein the compliance threshold comprises 80%.

18. The medical therapy system of claim 9 , wherein the medical therapy device comprises an ambulatory medical device.

19. The medical therapy system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor of the one or more remote computing devices is further configured to:

responsive to the determination that the compliance data does not satisfy the compliance threshold, cause the medical therapy device to provide the indication as a first graphical object on the user interface; and

responsive to a determination that the compliance data satisfies the compliance threshold, cause the medical therapy device to provide an indication that the compliance data satisfies the compliance threshold as a second graphical object on the user interface.

20. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, by the one or more remote computing devices:

at the first time:

causing the medical therapy device to provide the indication as a first graphical object on a user interface of the medical therapy device; and

at a second time:

determine that the compliance data satisfies the compliance threshold; and

responsive to determining that the compliance data satisfies the compliance threshold, causing the medical therapy device to provide an indication that the compliance data satisfies the compliance threshold as a second graphical object on the user interface.
