Hard disk drive medical monitor with security encryption
First Claim
1. A medical monitor for implantation in the user'"'"'s body for monitoring data on biological activity and states gathered from sensors implanted in the user'"'"'s body, said medical monitor comprising:
- at least one hard disk drive which is implanted in a user'"'"'s body;
an enclosure surrounding said at least one hard disk drive;
a transmitter and receiver for producing and transmitting signals, said medical monitor being in communication with said sensors, by which information on biological activity and states is stored on said at least one hard disk drive, wherein transmissions are encrypted as encrypted information for security of the user, and an ID and password are established for access to said encrypted information, said ID and password being set and stored on said at least one hard disk drive; and
a log of attempted intrusions which is kept on said at least one hard disk drive.
