First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by a fitting subsystem, a communicative coupling of a cochlear implant associated with a patient to a sound processor connected to the fitting subsystem by receiving a signal from the cochlear implant indicating that the cochlear implant is communicatively coupled to the sound processor;
automatically determining, by the fitting subsystem in response to the communicative coupling, an implant side associated with the cochlear implant in accordance with one or more implant side selection factors;
automatically populating, by the fitting subsystem, an implant record associated with the cochlear implant with data representative of the determined implant side, andpresenting, by the fitting subsystem within a graphical user interface and in response to the automatically populating, at least a portion of the implant record associated with the cochlear implant and automatically populated with data representative of the determined implant side.

Abstract
An exemplary method includes a fitting subsystem detecting a communicative coupling of a cochlear implant associated with a patient to a sound processor connected to the fitting subsystem and automatically determining, in response to the communicative coupling, an implant side associated with the cochlear implant in accordance with one or more implant side selection factors. Corresponding methods and systems are also described.

23. A method comprising:
-
detecting, by a fitting subsystem, a communicative coupling of a cochlear implant associated with a patient to a sound processor connected to the fitting subsystem by receiving a signal from the cochlear implant indicating that the cochlear implant is communicatively coupled to the sound processor; automatically selecting, by the fitting subsystem in response to the communicative coupling, an implant side of the cochlear implant in accordance with one or more implant side selection factors; automatically populating, by the fitting subsystem, an implant record associated with the cochlear implant with data representative of the selected implant side; and presenting, by the fitting subsystem within a graphical user interface and in response to the automatically populating, at least a portion of the implant record associated with the cochlear implant and automatically populated with data representative of the selected implant side.

24. A system comprising:
-
a detection facility configured to detect a communicative coupling of a cochlear implant associated with a patient to a sound processor connected to a fitting station by receiving a signal from the cochlear implant indicating that the cochlear implant is communicatively coupled to the sound processor; an implant side management facility communicatively coupled to the detection facility and configured to automatically determine, in response to the communicative coupling, an implant side associated with the cochlear implant in accordance with one or more implant side selection factors and to automatically populate an implant record associated with the cochlear implant with data representative of the determined implant side; and a user interface facility communicatively coupled to the implant side management facility and configured to present, within a graphical user interface and in response to the automatic population of the implant record, at least a portion of the implant record associated with the cochlear implant and automatically populated with data representative of the determined implant side.
