Systems and methods for configuring a wearable medical monitoring and/or treatment device

A method to update remote medical devices executed by a computer system comprising a memory, a network interface, and at least one processor coupled to the memory and the network interface, the memory storing device update information specifying one or more patient settings of an ambulatory medical treatment device configured to be worn by a patient and to provide a treatment protocol to the patient if the patient experiences a cardiac arrhythmia event, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the at least one processor, a configuration change request to update the one or more patient settings of the ambulatory medical treatment device, the one or more patient settings defining at least a portion of the treatment protocol to be provided to the patient if the patient experiences a cardiac arrhythmia event treatable by one or more therapy shocks to be delivered to the patient during provision of the treatment protocol, wherein the one or more patient settings comprise rate threshold information for identifying the cardiac arrhythmia event and energy setting information for the one or more therapy shocks to be delivered to the patient during provision of the treatment protocol if the patient experiences the cardiac arrhythmia event, the treatment protocol comprising applying the one or more therapy shocks to the patient if the patient experiences the cardiac arrhythmia event;
• receiving, by the at least one processor, an authorization request comprising authorization credentials for authorizing one or more updates to the one or more patient settings of the ambulatory medical treatment device;
• verifying, by the at least one processor, the authorization credentials in the authorization request;
• establishing, by the at least one processor, a secure communication channel with the ambulatory medical treatment device via the network interface in response to verification of the authorization credentials;
• receiving, by the at least one processor, an authentication request comprising an identifier of an update session;
• generating, by the at least one processor, a configuration update request comprising
• one or more updates to the one or more patient settings of the ambulatory medical treatment device, thereby defining an updated treatment protocol to be provided to the patient by the ambulatory medical treatment device if the patient experiences the cardiac arrhythmia event treatable by the one or more therapy shocks, and
• the identifier of the update session;
• encoding, by the at least one processor, the configuration update request to generate an encoded configuration update request;
• transmitting, by the at least one processor, the encoded configuration update request to the ambulatory medical treatment device via the secure communication channel;
• and
• receiving, by the at least one processor, an acknowledgement code from the ambulatory medical treatment device, the acknowledgement code comprising an indication that the ambulatory medical treatment device successfully applied the one or more updates to the one or more patient settings of the ambulatory medical treatment device so that the ambulatory medical treatment device operates according to the one or more updates to the one or more patient settings of the ambulatory medical treatment device to provide the updated treatment protocol to the patient if the patient experiences the cardiac arrhythmia event treatable by the one or more therapy shocks.

A non-transitory computer readable medium specifying one or more patient settings of an ambulatory medical treatment device configured to be worn by a patient and to provide a treatment protocol to the patient if the patient experiences a cardiac arrhythmia event, the non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with instructions executable by at least one processor to implement a process to update remote medical devices, the process comprising:

• receiving a configuration change request to update the one or more patient settings of the ambulatory medical treatment device, the one or more patient settings defining at least a portion of the treatment protocol to be provided to the patient if the patient experiences a cardiac arrhythmia event treatable by one or more therapy shocks to be delivered to the patient during provision of the treatment protocol, wherein the one or more patient settings comprise rate threshold information for identifying the cardiac arrhythmia event and energy setting information for the one or more therapy shocks to be delivered to the patient during provision of the treatment protocol if the patient experiences the cardiac arrhythmia event, the treatment protocol comprising applying the one or more therapy shocks to the patient if the patient experiences the cardiac arrhythmia event;
• receiving an authorization request comprising authorization credentials for authorizing one or more updates to the one or more patient settings of the ambulatory medical treatment device;
• verifying the authorization credentials in the authorization request;
• establishing a secure communication channel with the ambulatory medical treatment device via a network interface in response to verification of the authorization credentials;
• receiving an authentication request comprising an identifier of an update session;
• generating a configuration update request comprising
• one or more updates to the one or more patient settings of the ambulatory medical treatment device, thereby defining an updated treatment protocol to be provided to the patient by the ambulatory medical treatment device if the patient experiences the cardiac arrhythmia event treatable by the one or more therapy shocks, and
• the identifier of the update session;
• encoding the configuration update request to generate an encoded configuration update request;
• transmitting the encoded configuration update request to the ambulatory medical treatment device via the secure communication channel;
• and
• receiving an acknowledgement code from the ambulatory medical treatment device, the acknowledgement code comprising an indication that the ambulatory medical treatment device successfully applied the one or more updates to the one or more patient settings of the ambulatory medical treatment device so that the ambulatory medical treatment device operates according to the one or more updates to the one or more patient settings of the ambulatory medical treatment device to provide the updated treatment protocol to the patient if the patient experiences the cardiac arrhythmia event treatable by the one or more therapy shocks.
