System and method for transacting an automated patient communications session
First Claim
1. A system for transacting an automated patient communications session, comprising:
- an implantable medical device to monitor a patent health condition by regularly collecting physiological measures;
a patient communications interface comprising an implantable microphone and an implantable speaker;
an activation module to activate a patient communications session through in response to a patient-provided activation code;
an authentication module to authenticate an identification of the patient based on pre-defined uniquely identifying patient characteristics;
a session module to receive spoken patient information through the implantable microphone and to play verbal system information through the implantable speaker; and
a termination module to terminate the patient communications session by closing the patient communications interface, wherein the physiological measures and the spoken patient information are sent.

Abstract
A system and method for transacting an automated patient communications session is described. A patent health condition is monitored by regularly collecting physiological measures through an implantable medical device. A patient communications session is activated through a patient communications interface, including an implantable microphone and an implantable speaker in response to a patient-provided activation code. An identification of the patient is authenticated based on pre-defined uniquely identifying patient characteristics. Spoken patient information is received through the implantable microphone and verbal system information is played through the implantable speaker. The patient communications session is terminated by closing the patient communications interface. The physiological measures and the spoken patient information are sent.
