Remote respiratory therapy device management
A server is provided and is programmed to automatically determine, based on the identification data that uniquely identifies a patient device, whether there is an upgrade to the code or data (e.g., software or firmware) stored in the electronic memory of the patient device that can be applied thereto. In response to determination that there is an upgrade that can be applied, a data package is delivered to the patient device via the first wireless transceiver, the data package to be automatically applied to the electronic memory of the patient device.

5. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving, after transmitting the update request message, a status update message from the corresponding patient respiratory system, wherein the status update message includes versioning information of software and/or firmware.
6. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
based on reception of a message from a corresponding patient respiratory system, determining whether a pending request for the corresponding patient respiratory system is in the pending request data structure.
7. The computer system of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:
based on determination that the pending request is in the pending request data structure, transmitting an update request message to the corresponding patient respiratory system based on the pending request that is in the pending request data structure without performing processing profile data against the update data structure.
8. The computer system of claim 6 , wherein determination of whether there is the pending request occurs prior to obtaining the profile data.
9. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the corresponding device identification data for the patient respiratory system includes a unique identifier that uniquely identifies the patient respiratory system from other patient respiratory systems.
10. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the unique identifier is associated with a transceiver component that is included with the patient respiratory system.
11. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein versioning information for the software and/or firmware of the patient respiratory system is not included in the at least one message that is received.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one hardware process is distributed among different computing devices of a cloud-based computer system.
13. A method executed on a computer system for managing updates of firmware and/or software for remotely located patient respiratory systems, each of the patient respiratory systems comprising a plurality of components, and each of the patient respiratory systems configured to communicate at least one message that includes corresponding device identification data that is associated with a corresponding patient respiratory system, the method comprising:
accessing an update data structure that includes data for a plurality of update packages; and
based on reception of at least one message from each of the corresponding patient respiratory systems:
a) obtaining, based on corresponding device identification data included with the at least one message, profile data that is associated with the corresponding patient respiratory system, the profile data including at least versioning data that identifies firmware and/or software installed for the corresponding patient respiratory system and/or components thereof,
b) processing the profile data against the update data structure to determine which one of the plurality of update packages to apply to the corresponding patient respiratory system and/or components thereof,
c) adding, based on determination of which one of the plurality of update packages should be applied to the corresponding patient respiratory system, a pending request to a pending request data structure, and
d) transmitting an update request message to the corresponding patient respiratory system that is based on which one of the plurality of update packages is to be applied.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein each of a plurality of records of the update data structure includes: 1) at least one update pre-condition, 2) at least one update post-condition, and 3) update data for firmware and/or software.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein processing the profile data against the update data structure includes comparing the profile data against the at least one update pre-condition.
16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the update request message includes data used to download an update based on the data included in the update request message.
17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
receiving, after transmitting the update request message, a status update message from the corresponding patient respiratory system, wherein the status update message includes versioning information of software and/or firmware.
18. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
based on reception of a message from a corresponding patient respiratory system, determining whether a pending request for the corresponding patient respiratory system is in the pending request data structure.
19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising:
based on determination that the pending request is in the pending request data structure, transmitting an update request message to the corresponding patient respiratory system based on the pending request that is in the pending request data structure without performing processing profile data against the update data structure.
20. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions for use with a computer system that manages updates of firmware and/or software for remotely located patient respiratory systems, each of the patient respiratory systems comprising a plurality of components, and each of the patient respiratory systems configured to communicate at least one message that includes corresponding device identification data that is associated with a corresponding patient respiratory system, the computer executable instructions including instructions configured to cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:
