Abstract

This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for determining a media presentation to present to a user using at least one of information received from an implantable medical device or information received from the user.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a user-interface configured to be communicatively coupled to an implantable medical device, the user-interface configured to determine a multimedia presentation to present to a user;

wherein the user-interface is configured to determine the multimedia presentation by selecting at least one multimedia presentation from a plurality of stored multimedia presentations using at least one of information received from the implantable medical device or information received from the user;

wherein the user-interface is configured to determine the multimedia presentation without requiring the user to directly determine the multimedia presentation.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the user-interface is configured to determine the multimedia presentation to present to at least one of a patient, an electrophysiologist, a cardiologist, a physician, or a nurse.

3. The system of claim 1, the user-interface including a display, wherein the user-interface is configured to present the selected at least one multimedia presentation to the user to select to view using the display.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the user-interface is configured to determine the multimedia presentation to present to the user using information received from the implantable medical device.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein user-interface is configured to determine the multimedia presentation using information received about the implantable medical device.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the user-interface is configured to receive information about an activated feature of the implantable medical device for a patient, to determine the multimedia presentation using the information about the activated feature, and to present the multimedia presentation to that patient, the multimedia presentation including information about the activated feature.

7. The system of claim 4, wherein the user-interface is configured to determine the multimedia presentation using information received about a patient.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the user-interface is configured to receive patient information, to determine the multimedia presentation using the patient information, and to present the multimedia presentation to that patient including information about the patient information.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the user-interface is configured to determine the multimedia presentation to present to the user using information received from the user.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the user-interface is configured to determine the multimedia presentation using information about a user class, the user class including at least one of a patient class, an electrophysiologist class, a cardiologist class, a physician class, or a nurse class.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the user-interface is configured to determine the multimedia presentation using information about the implantable medical device, the information about the implantable medical device including information about at least one of an implantable medical device type or an implantable medical device family.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the user-interface is configured to determine the multimedia presentation using information about a patient, the information about the patient including information about at least one of a physiological condition or a patient history.

13. A method comprising:

providing a user-interface for a user, the user-interface configured to be communicatively coupled to an implantable medical device;

receiving, at the user-interface, at least one of information from the implantable medical device or information from the user; and

determining, at the user-interface, a multimedia presentation to present to the user by selecting at least one multimedia presentation from a plurality of stored multimedia presentations using the received information, the determining without requiring the user to directly determine the multimedia presentation.

14. The method of claim 13, including presenting the selected at least one multimedia presentation to the user to select to view.

15. The method of claim 13, including:

receiving, at the user-interface, information from the implantable medical device;

wherein the determining the multimedia presentation to present to the user includes using the implantable medical device information.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the receiving the information from the implantable medical device includes receiving information about an activated feature of the implantable medical in a patient, and wherein the determining the multimedia presentation includes using the activated feature information.

17. The method of claim 15, including:

detecting physiological information from a patient using the implantable medical device;

wherein the receiving the information from the implantable medical device includes receiving the detected physiological information, and wherein the determining the multimedia presentation includes using the detected physiological information.

18. The method of claim 13, including:

receiving information from the user;

wherein the determining the multimedia presentation to present to the user includes using the user information.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the receiving the information from the user includes receiving at least one of a user class, information about the implantable medical device, or information about a patient.

20. A system comprising:

a user-interface, communicatively coupled to an implantable medical device, the user-interface configured to receive information about an activated feature of the implantable medical device for a patient, to select at least one multimedia presentation to present to the patient from a plurality of available multimedia presentations using the information about the activated feature, and to present the at least one selected multimedia presentation to the patient;

wherein the at least one selected multimedia presentation includes information about the activated feature without requiring information about a non-activated feature, and wherein the user-interface is configured to determine the multimedia presentation without requiring the user to directly determine the multimedia presentation.
