Systems and methods for automatically collecting, formatting, and storing medical device data in a database
First Claim
1. A system for automatically populating medical device data into one or more databases, comprising:
- a system controller including a processor and a computer readable medium, wherein the computer readable medium includes instructions executable by the processor to;
receive a data set comprising objective data collected by a physician, the objective data comprising objective data about a first patient;
receive a data set comprising subjective data collected by a physician, the subjective data comprising subjective data about the first patient;
automatically validate the objective data and the subjective data, and if valid, populate the objective data and the subjective data into a first database having one or more database records associated with the first patient;
receive a first data set from an implantable medical device that is associated with the first patient, the first data set having a first date and time stamp associated with it;
receive a second data set from an implantable medical device that is associated with the first patient, the second data set having a second date and time stamp associated with it;
populate the first data set into the one or more database records associated with the first patient, wherein the first date and time stamp is configured to act as a first database record locator associated with the first patient; and
populate the second data set into the one or more database records associated with the first patient, wherein the second date and time stamp is configured to act as a second database record locator associated with the first patient.

Abstract
The present invention provides systems and methods for gathering, formatting, storing and/or distributing medical information. In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides for centralized maintenance of medical information derived from a patient visit, and for distributed access to various medical information by, for example, researchers, the patient, the patient'"'"'s physician, a specialist, and/or other recipients. Thus, for example, a patient may visit their physician and during that visit the physician may read information from an implantable medical device associated with the patient, make other objective measurements of the patient, and record various subjective information about the patient. All of this information can be uploaded and maintained on a variably accessible system.
