摘要:
A patient information hub (PIH) system used in a healthcare system for the management of data documents of a patient has an implanted medical device, and a portable non-implanted unit having the capability for communicating with the IMD. The PIH system stores and manages a document list containing information of data documents of the patient and information of in which data depositories of the healthcare system the documents are stored and can be retrieved from. The retrieval of the document list from the PIH system for display on a screen of the communicating unit or transmission to an external requesting unit is made dependent on a communication operation involving the IMD and the non-implanted unit.

An implantable medical device that is physically connectable to the body of a user has an information manager that manages sensitive information associated with the user or the device. A sensor is connected to the device that senses whether the device is physically connected to the body of the user, and generates a signal indicating whether the device is actually connected to the body of the user. The information manager is connected to the sensor, and is responsive to the sensor signal so as to perform information managing functions based on the signal. Among other things, fraudulent retrieval of sensitive data from the device is prevented if the device is not connected to or implanted in the body of the user.

An implantable medical device has a programmer for generating a programming command representative of a diagnostic status of a subject or an operation status of the medical device. The device also comprises an interface for communicating the command to a programmable, implantable RFID tag. The tag memory is reprogrammed based on the received command. A portable RFID reader is used for interrogating the RFID tag and data in the tag memory can be displayed on the reader.
摘要:
In a medical system and a method for operating such a system, the system includes an implantable medical device of a patient, a programmer device, and an extracorporeal stress equipment adapted to exert a physiological stress on the patient, for automatically determining settings of a sensor for sensing a physiological parameter of the patient or for automatically determining a pacing setting of the device over a broad range of workloads of the equipment. The ingoing units and/or devices of the medical system, i.e. the implantable medical device of the patient, the programmer device, and the extracorporeal stress equipment, communicate bi-directionally with each other and form a closed loop.

摘要:
Functions of a clinician's workstation, which is a part of an implantable medical system that also includes an implantable medical device, are dynamically adapted dependent on collected patient data and/or collected data relating to operation of the implantable medical device. The adaptation can take place based on instructions provided to the workstation from a server, that is supplied with the collected data, and that processes the collected data to produce the instructions.
摘要:
For exchanging medical data in a healthcare system having multiple patient domains, with at least one of these domains being isolated from the other domains by virtue of a patient identifier for the other domains not having access to patient identifiers used by the isolated domain, patient-related data for a given patient are provided and are sent to this manager. The manager compares the data with stored data to identify an identifier of the given patient utilized by one of the other domains. This identifier is returned to the isolated domain, wherein it is employed for enabling an association of locally or externally generated medical data of the patient with an externally or locally utilized identifier of the patient with an externally or locally utilized identifier of the patient. The isolated domain may utilize model and serial numbers of implantable medical devices as the patient identifiers.
