METHODS, APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS FOR MEDICAL DEVICE COMMUNICATION, CONTROL AND LOCALIZATION
First Claim
1. A medical device comprising:
- a therapeutic component adapted to provide therapeutic functionality during whilst in therapeutic mode and further adapted to enter a device sleep mode (DSM);
a transceiver configured to provide said device with wireless connectivity and further configured to transition into a transceiver sleep mode (TSM) substantially concurrent with transition into DSM, said transceiver further configured to intermittently transition between TSM and a scan mode, during which scan mode said transceiver listens for a wireless packet addressed to said transceiver; and
a localization module configured to emit a discovery signal upon receipt of said wireless packet addressed to said transceiver.

Abstract
Disclosed is a medical device including a therapeutic component to provide one or more therapeutic functionalities during whilst in therapeutic mode, and may further enter into a device sleep mode (DSM), a transceiver configured to provide the medical device with wireless connectivity and which may further transition into a transceiver sleep mode (TSM) substantially concurrent with transition into DSM, the transceiver may intermittently transition between TSM and a scan mode, during which scan mode the transceiver may listen for a wireless packet addressed to the transceiver, and a localization module which may emit a discovery signal upon receipt of the wireless packet addressed to the transceiver.

17. A method for localizing a medical device including a transceiver, the method comprising:
-
receiving an identifier from a medical device at one or more computing platforms; determining an estimated location of the medical device based on secondary information from the one or more computing platforms; seeking the medical device in proximity to the estimated location; hearing a beacon from the medical device; and locating the medical device - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
