Managing telemetry communication modes of an implantable device
First Claim
1. An implantable device, comprising:
- a housing configured to be implanted at least partially within a patient;
a memory, coupled to the housing, that stores executable components;
circuitry, coupled to the housing, and configured to at least one of obtain sensed physiological data associated with the patient or deliver a therapy to the patient; and
a processor, coupled to the housing, that executes the executable components stored in the memory, wherein the executable components comprise;
a communication component configured to facilitate telemetry communication between the implantable device and one or more external devices using a first telemetry communication protocol and a second telemetry communication protocol to communicate data associated with at least one of the sensed physiological data or the delivered therapy; and
a communication mode management component configured to control operation of the implantable device in different communication modes, comprising;
a disabled mode configured to prevent telemetry communication between the implantable device and the one or more external devices according to the first telemetry communication protocol and enable telemetry communication between the implantable device and the one or more external devices according to the second telemetry communication protocol;
a first advertising mode configured to facilitate establishment of a first type of telemetry communication session between the implantable device and the one or more external devices using the first telemetry communication protocol; and
a second advertising mode configured to facilitate establishment of a second type of telemetry communication session between the implantable device and the one or more external devices using the first telemetry communication protocol.

Abstract
Systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media facilitating management of operation of an implantable medical device (“IMD”) using a number of communication modes are provided. An IMD is configured to operate in a disabled mode wherein radio frequency (RF) telemetry communication is disabled, or operate in a first advertising mode using the RF telemetry communication. The IMD receives a clinician session request from a clinician device via an induction telemetry protocol while operating in the disabled mode or the first advertising mode, and transitions to operating from the disabled mode or the first advertising mode to operating in a second advertising mode based on receiving the clinician session request. From the second advertising mode, the IMD can establish a clinician telemetry session with the clinician device using the RF telemetry communication and a unique security mechanism facilitated by an identifier for the clinician device included in the clinician session request.

15. A method, comprising:
-
facilitating, by an implantable medical device comprising a processor, telemetry communication between the implantable medical device and one or more external devices using a radio frequency telemetry communication protocol and a non-radio frequency telemetry communication protocol; and controlling, by the implantable medical device, operation of the implantable medical device in different communication modes, comprising; a first advertising mode configured to facilitate establishment of a first type of telemetry communication session between the implantable medical device and the one or more external devices using the radio frequency telemetry communication protocol; and a second advertising mode configured to facilitate establishment of a second type of telemetry communication session between the implantable medical device and a clinician device of the one or more external devices using the radio frequency telemetry communication protocol based on reception, by the implantable medical device, of a session initiation request from the clinician device via the non-radio frequency telemetry communication protocol. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause an implantable device including at least one processor to perform operations, comprising:
-
operating in a disabled mode comprising preventing telemetry communication by the implantable device using a radio frequency telemetry protocol or operating in a first advertising mode, wherein the operating in the first advertising mode comprises transmitting first advertisement data packets according to the radio frequency telemetry protocol at a first defined rate; receiving a clinician session initiation request from a clinician device via an induction telemetry protocol while operating in the disabled mode or the first advertising mode, wherein the clinician session initiation request comprises an identifier for the clinician device; and transitioning to operating from the disabled mode or the first advertising mode to operating in a second advertising mode based on the receiving the clinician session initiation request, wherein the operating in the second advertising mode comprises transmitting second advertisement data packets according to the radio frequency telemetry protocol at a second rate. - View Dependent Claims (28)
