Patient Programmer for Implantable Drug Delivery Device
First Claim
1. A method for communicating with an implantable drug delivery device using a mobile computing device, comprising:
- establishing a connection with a telemetry unit configured for wireless communication with the implantable drug delivery device;
displaying user-selectable drug delivery settings for the implantable drug delivery device;
receiving at least one selection of a drug delivery setting;
translating the received selection into a signal format readable by the telemetry unit; and
sending the translated signal to the telemetry unit to program the implantable drug delivery device.

Abstract
Methods for programming an implantable drug delivery device using a mobile computing device that include establishing a connection with a telemetry unit configured for wireless communication with the implantable drug delivery device, displaying user-selectable drug delivery settings for the implantable drug delivery device, receiving at least one selection of a drug delivery setting, translating the received selection into a signal format readable by the telemetry unit, and sending the translated signal to the telemetry unit to program the implantable drug delivery device. Further embodiments include telemetry units for communication with an implantable drug delivery device, and patient programmers and a method for patient modification to a programmed drug delivery regimen.

16. A method for patient modification to a programmed drug delivery regimen in an implantable drug delivery device, comprising:
-
establishing a connection with a computing device; receiving from the computing device at least one parameter for patient modification of the programmed drug delivery regimen; storing the at least one parameter in a memory; detecting an input event corresponding to a patient request for modification to the programmed drug delivery regimen; determining whether the requested modification is allowed based on the stored at least one parameter; and transmitting the patient request to the implantable drug delivery device when it is determined that the requested modification is allowed. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A patient programmer device, comprising:
-
a user-input component; a communication module; a memory; and a processor coupled to the user-input component, the communication module, and the memory, the processor configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising; establishing a connection with a second computing device; receiving from the second computing device at least one parameter for patient modification of a programmed drug delivery regimen in an implantable drug delivery device; storing the at least one parameter in a memory; detecting an input event corresponding to a patient request for modification to the programmed drug delivery regimen; determining whether the requested modification is allowed based on the stored at least one parameter; and transmitting the patient request to the implantable drug delivery device in response to determining that the requested modification is allowed.
