Abstract
An implantable medical device communication system includes an implantable medical device, a medical information management system, and a module interface apparatus for facilitating communication therebetween. The implantable medical device includes transmitter/receiver circuitry coupled to a device antenna. The medical information management system includes at least a computer processing unit and a display unit. The module interface apparatus includes interface receiver/transmitter circuitry coupled to an interface antenna to communicate with the device transmitter/receiver circuitry via the device antenna. Further, the module interface apparatus includes interface circuitry operable to adapt data (e.g., programming commands) received from the medical information management system for transmittal to the implantable medical device and adapt data received from the implantable medical device (e.g., device data including operational data, physiological parameter data, analyzed data, diagnostic data, etc.) such as to communicate such information to:the medical information management system.
