Secure communications between an implantable biomedical device and authorized parties over the internet

A system for facilitating a remote internet-connected device to configure an implantable biomedical device, the system comprising:

• a hosting computer in communication with the internet;
• and
• computer readable memory encoded with instructions that cause the system to:
• host a virtual image of the implantable biomedical device at an IP-addressable internet site associated therewith;
• receive, by the IP-addressable internet site and from the remote internet-connected device via the internet, configuration data for the implantable biomedical;
• update the virtual image hosted based on the configuration data received;
• determine whether directional safety of the implantable biomedical device would be increased upon updating the implantable biomedical device with the configuration data based on simulations of the virtual image as updated;
• advance a counter every minute following the time at which Implanted medical device was first powered;
• encode the configuration data based on the counter;
• and
• transmit, from the IP-addressable internet site via the internet to the implantable biomedical device, the configuration data in response to the directional safety of the implantable biomedical device being determined to be increased.
