Patient management device for portably interfacing with a plurality of implantable medical devices and method thereof
First Claim
1. A patient management device for portably interfacing with a plurality of implantable medical devices, comprising:
- stored credentials to authenticate permission to interrogate one or more implantable medical devices;
a short range telemetry interface to individually exchange patient device data through interrogation of at least one authenticated implantable medical device;
a long range telemetry interface to exchange external device data via communication with at least one external device; and
storage to maintain at least one of the patient device and external device data contemporaneously to execution of operations to perform one or more of relay, processing, and outputting of the patient device and external device data subsequent to the interrogation of the implantable medical device.

Abstract
A patient management device for portably interfacing with a plurality of implantable medical devices and method thereof is presented. Permission to interrogate one or more implantable medical devices is authenticated. Patient device data is individually exchanged through interrogation of at least one authenticated implantable medical device through short range telemetry. External device data is exchanged via communication with at least one external device through long range telemetry. At least one of the patient device and external device data is maintained contemporaneously to execution of operations to perform one or more of relay, processing, and outputting of the patient device and external device data subsequent to the interrogation of the implantable medical device.
