Abstract
A method of transferring medical information can include transmitting medical information from a mobile personal medical device responsive to determining that a remote system is authorized to receive the medical information. Related Systems, devices, and computer program products are also disclosed.
Claims13
A method of transferring medical information comprising:
- determining whether a syndrome associated with a body is detected;
- determining whether a measurement of a parameter associated with the body exceeds a threshold;
- transmitting medical information from a mobile personal medical device to a remote system responsive to determining that the remote system is authorized to receive the medical information wherein authorization for the remote system to receive the medical information is provided responsive to determining that the syndrome associated with the body detected by the mobile personal medical device indicates an emergency or that the measurement of the parameter exceeds the threshold, wherein determining that the remote system is authorized to receive the medical information further comprises:
- if the syndrome indicates no emergency or that the measurement does not exceed the threshold;
- then
- comparing a key received at the mobile personal medical device as part of the authorization to a key previously transmitted to the mobile personal medical device;
- and
- authorizing the transmission of the medical information to the remote system only if the key received at the mobile personal medical device matches the key previously transmitted to the mobile personal medical device.
5 more elements
A field based electronic device for communication with a mobile personal medical device that is chronically implanted in or coupled to a body, the field based electronic device comprising:
- a processor circuit configured to receive medical information from the mobile personal medical device to provide uploaded medical information responsive to determining that the field based electronic device is authorized to access the medical information in the mobile personal medical device based on an alert signal indicating an emergency or indication that a measured parameter exceeds a parameter threshold and that an emergency medical provider is authorized to use the field based electronic device, wherein determining that the field based electronic device is authorized to receive the medical information further comprises:
- if a syndrome associated with a body detected by the mobile personal medical device indicates no emergency or that the measurement does not exceed the threshold;
- then
- comparing a key received at the mobile personal medical device to a key previously transmitted to the mobile personal medical device;
- authorizing transmission of the medical information to the field based electronic device only if the key received at the mobile personal medical device matches the key previously transmitted to the mobile personal medical device;
- a wireless interface circuit, coupled to the processor circuit, configured to receive the medical information from the mobile personal medical device;
- a memory circuit configured to store the uploaded medical information;
- and
- a device interface circuit configured to transmit the uploaded medical information to a persistent long-term storage device.
