Abstract

A system, method, and computer readable medium for monitoring and controlling medical devices having a data processing server configured to receive from a user instructions relating to a medical device. The system also includes an application hosting device configured to receive the instructions from the data processing server. The application hosting device is further configured to modify the instructions for transmission to the medical device. The medical device is configured to receive the modified instructions and perform the modified instructions. Another aspect provides an application hosting device that captures medical device data and includes a processor and a connection unit configured to establish a link to exchange information. The application hosting device is configured to connect to a plurality of medical devices simultaneously. The plurality of medical devices comprise at least one master device and at least one slave device.

Claims

1. A system for monitoring and controlling medical devices, comprising:

a data processing server configured to receive from a user instructions relating to a medical device; and

an application hosting device configured to receive the instructions from the data processing server, the application hosting device further configured to modify the instructions for transmission to the medical device,

wherein the medical device is configured to receive the modified instructions and perform the modified instructions.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the application hosting device is configured to convert the instructions to a selected format useable by the medical device.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions comprise updates relating to the medical device settings.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions comprise an identifier identifying the medical device to receive the modified instructions from the application hosting device.

5. A system for delivering medical device data, comprising:

an application hosting device configured to receive data from a medical device using a first network, the application hosting device being further configured to process the data and send the data via a second network, wherein the first network is different from the second network.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the first network is a personal area network.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein the second network is a wide area network.

8. The system of claim 5, wherein the second network is a local area network.

9. The system of claim 5, wherein the application hosting device is capable of multi-mode connection.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the application hosting device is configured to simultaneously enable voice transmission when receiving data from the first network and when sending data via the second network.

11. The system of claim 5, wherein the application hosting device stores the data received from the medical device in a memory.

12. An application hosting device to capture medical device data, the application hosting device including a processor and a connection unit-configured to establish a link to exchange information, the application hosting device being configured to connect to a plurality of medical devices simultaneously, wherein the plurality of medical devices comprise at least one master device and at least one slave device.

13. The application hosting device of claim 12, wherein the link is a Bluetooth

14. The application hosting device of claim 12, wherein the application hosting device uses multithreading to connect to the plurality of medical devices simultaneously.

15. A method of monitoring and controlling a medical device, comprising:

receiving, from a data processing server, instructions relating to a medical device;

identifying the medical device associated with the instructions;

modifying the instructions for transmission to. the medical device; and

transmitting the modified instructions to the medical device.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein modifying the instructions comprises converting the instructions into a format useable by the medical device.

17. The method of claim 15;

wherein the instructions comprise updates relating to the medical device settings.

18. A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable code for execution by a processing system to control a medical device, the code configured to:

identify the medical device associated with received instructions;

modify the instructions for transmission to the medical device; and

transmit the modified instructions to the medical device.

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the code to modify the instructions comprises code to convert the instructions into a format useable by the medical device.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the instructions comprise updates relating to the medical device settings.
