Systems and methods for managing and analyzing data generated by an implantable device
First Claim
1. A system for managing and reviewing data obtained from an implantable device at a data analyst device, the system comprising:
- an outlet catheter configured to be implanted in a patient so as to be in fluidic communication with a patient'"'"'s bladder;
an implantable device comprising a housing containing a first inductive charging circuit, a first microprocessor, a battery, a first communication unit, a pump coupled to the outlet catheter and configured to move fluid from a peritoneal cavity to the bladder via the outlet catheter, and a plurality of sensors, the implantable device configured to generate operational data and physiological data, the physiological data corresponding to the patient;
a charging device comprising a second inductive charging circuit, a second microprocessor, and a second communication unit, the charging device configured to wirelessly transfer energy transcutaneously from the second inductive circuit to the first inductive circuit to charge the battery, the charging device programmed to communicate with the implantable device to receive the operational data and the physiological data from the implantable device and to store the operational data and the physiological data on the charging device;
first instructions stored on a first non-transitory computer readable medium of the charging device configured to cause transmission of the operational data associated with the pump and the physiological data based on measurements from at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors associated with the pump stored on the charging device to a remote server so that the operational data and the physiological data are accessible from the remote server by a data analyst device; and
second instructions stored on a second non-transitory computer readable medium of the data analyst device configured to cause the data analyst device to access the physiological data based on the measurements from the at least one sensor associated with the pump from the remote server, automatically compare the physiological data to other physiological data corresponding to at least one patient different from the patient, determine whether the physiological data exceeds one or more preprogrammed thresholds, and automatically generate an alert for transmission if the physiological data exceeds the one or more preprogrammed thresholds.

Abstract
A system is provided including an implantable device configured to be implanted subcutaneously within a patient, a clinician monitoring and control device, an optional patient mobile device, a remote server and/or at least one data analyst device used by a data analyst. The implantable device may communicate with any or all of the monitoring and control device, the mobile device and/or the remote server through the charging device or by establishing a direct wireless connection with each such device. The data analyst device may establish a direct connection with the remote server and also may establish a connection with the monitoring and control device and the mobile device. By analyzing and reviewing the data generated by the implantable device, the data analyst may diagnose a medical condition or indicate a heightened risk of a condition.
