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.

41. A method of programming an implantable drug delivery device, comprising:
-
receiving from the implantable drug delivery device by a first telemetry unit via a first communication link information related to a patient in which the implantable drug delivery device is implanted, wherein the implantable drug delivery device is configured to administer an infusate according to a first drug delivery regimen; relaying the information from the first telemetry unit to a mobile computing device via a second communication link different from the first communication link; relaying the information from the mobile computing device to a remote computing device via a third communication link different from the first and second communication links; receiving by the mobile computing device from the remote computing device via the third communication link a second drug delivery regimen to be implemented by the implantable drug delivery device; relaying the second drug delivery regimen from the mobile computing device to the telemetry unit via the second communication link; relaying the second drug delivery regimen from the telemetry unit to the implantable drug delivery device via the first communication link; and implementing the second drug delivery regimen by the implantable drug delivery device. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
