Downloading and Booting Method and System for A Wearable Medical Device

A wearable medical monitoring device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a supervisory circuit configured to monitor a state of the at least one processor when the at least one processor is configured to boot from a current drive, and wherein the supervisory circuit is configured to control the at least one processor to boot from an alternative drive different from the current drive based on the state of the at least one processor.

A wearable medical monitoring device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a supervisory circuit configured to control the at least one processor to reboot from a current drive a predetermined number of times in response to a boot error or an operating error of the at least one processor, wherein, after the supervisory circuit controls the at least one processor to reboot from the current drive the predetermined number of times, the supervisory circuit is configured to control the at least one processor to boot from an alternative drive different from the current drive.

A wearable medical monitoring device, comprising:

• a monitor configured to monitor a physiological parameter of a subject, the monitor including a processor including a plurality of boot selection pins for setting a boot order of the processor, the boot order indicating an order in which the processor checks a plurality of ports for a drive including executable code;
• and
• circuitry configured to control one or more of the boot selection pins based on a control signal from a supervisory circuit.

A method of booting a wearable medical monitoring device, comprising:

• monitoring a state of at least one processor of the wearable medical monitoring device with a supervisory circuit when the at least one processor is configured to boot from a current drive, and
• controlling, with the supervisory circuit, the at least one processor to boot from an alternative drive different from the current drive based on the state of the at least one processor.

A wearable medical monitoring device, comprising:

• a monitor configured to monitor a physiological parameter of a subject, wherein the monitor is configured to communicate with a distribution node including a processor connected to a plurality of electrodes, and wherein the monitor is configured to determine if the distribution node is compatible with the monitor.
