Remotely operating external medical devices

This invention describes a system for controlling medical devices from a distance using a wireless connection. A separate remote device sends instructions to an external medical device, which then carries out actions like changing its display or delivering a medical treatment. The claims specifically focus on these types of commands for remote operation.

Why it matters: In 2004, robust and secure wireless communication for medical devices was a specialized challenge. Today, the widespread availability of advanced, low-power wireless protocols and powerful mobile computing devices significantly simplifies building the remote control and communication aspects.
