PREDICTIVE BACKGROUND DATA TRANSFER FOR IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- predicting a future request for data stored on an implantable medical device (IMD);
detecting that a telemetry session between the IMD and an external device comprises available bandwidth; and
automatically transferring data that is predicted to be requested in the future from the IMD to the external device via the available bandwidth of the telemetry session.

Abstract
Data is transferred from an implantable medical device (IMD) to one or more external devices passively in the background of an active communications session based on a prediction of data that will be requested by a user.
