Patient Programmer for Implantable Drug Delivery Device
First Claim
1. A device for communicating with implantable drug delivery devices, comprising:
- an input component;
a feedback component;
a first communication interface configured to communicate with an implantable drug delivery device that is configured to administer a preprogrammed drug delivery regimen;
a second communication interface, different from the first communication interface, configured to communicate with a mobile communication device;
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the input component, the feedback component, the first communication interface, the second communication interface, and the memory, and configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising;
receiving, via the input component, a request to modify the preprogrammed drug delivery regimen;
determining whether the requested modification to the preprogrammed drug delivery regimen is allowed;
transmitting the requested modification to the preprogrammed drug delivery regimen to the implantable drug delivery device via the first communication interface in response to determining that the requested modification is allowed; and
displaying an indication on the feedback component of whether the received request to modify the preprogrammed drug delivery regimen is allowed.

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.

15. A method of programming an implantable drug delivery device, comprising:
-
establishing, via a first communication interface of a device, a first communication link with a mobile communication device; receiving, by the device, a preprogrammed drug delivery regimen from the mobile communication device over the first communication link; establishing, via a second communication interface of the device, a second communication link with the implantable drug delivery device; transmitting the preprogrammed drug delivery regimen from the device to the implantable drug delivery device over the second communication link; receiving, via an input component of the device, a request to modify the preprogrammed drug delivery regimen; determining, by the device, whether a modification to the preprogrammed drug delivery regimen is allowed; transmitting, via the first communication interface of the device, instructions to modify the preprogrammed drug delivery regimen to the implantable drug delivery device in response to determining that the modification to the preprogrammed drug delivery regimen is allowed; and displaying, via a feedback component of the device, an indication of whether the request to modify the preprogrammed drug delivery regimen was successful. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
