Medical device
First Claim
1. A medical device configured to communicate with a remote computer system, the medical device comprising:
- a treatment source configured to apply a therapy to damaged tissue of a patient to facilitate healing of the damaged tissue; and
one or more processing devices configured to;
receive, via a wireless network or a user input, a treatment regimen that identifies a scheduled use of the treatment source;
responsive to receiving an activation code to enable the therapy, control the treatment source to apply the therapy to the damaged tissue in accordance with the treatment regimen;
generate usage information indicative of the therapy applied by the treatment source;
compare the usage information and the scheduled use;
generate compliance information reflecting a degree that the usage information matches the scheduled use; and
send the compliance information with a device identifier to a remote computer system, thereby causing the remote computer system to;
determine a patient identifier based upon the device identifier;
store the compliance information in association with the patient identifier; and
provide access to the compliance information to one or more users in response to receiving an inquiry associated with the patient identifier from the one or more users.

Abstract
A medical device includes a treatment module configured to apply a treatment to a patient. The medical device includes an interface configured to operatively connect to a removable storage device storing authorization data that identifies a level of treatment authorization. The medical device includes a processing device configured to perform operations in response to receiving user input indicating a treatment should be initiated. The operations include determining whether the removable storage device is valid for use with the medical device. If the removable storage device is determined to be valid, the authorization data is accessed. The processing device determines whether the treatment is authorized based on the accessed authorization data. If the treatment is determined to be authorized, the treatment module is controlled to apply the treatment. If the treatment is determined to not be authorized, the treatment module is controlled such that the treatment is not applied.

15. A method of operating a medical device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, via a wireless network or a user input to the medical device, a treatment regimen that identifies a scheduled use of a treatment source, the treatment source being configured to apply a therapy to damaged tissue of a patient to facilitate healing of the damaged tissue; receiving an activation code to enable the therapy; in response to receiving the activation code to enable the therapy, controlling the treatment source to apply the therapy to the damaged tissue in accordance with the treatment regimen; generating, by one or more processing devices of the medical device, usage information indicative of the therapy applied by the treatment source; comparing, by the one or more processing devices, the usage information and the scheduled use; generating, by the one or more processing devices, compliance information reflecting a degree that the usage information matches the scheduled use; and sending, by the one or more processing devices, the compliance information with a device identifier to a remote computer system, thereby causing the remote computer system to; determine a patient identifier based upon the device identifier; store the compliance information in association with the patient identifier; and provide access to the compliance information to one or more users in response to receiving an inquiry associated with the patient identifier from the one or more users. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
