Post-download patient data protection in a medical device

This invention describes a way for a medical device, like an external defibrillator, to protect patient data after it has been copied to another computer. Once the data is downloaded, the device automatically makes it unreadable or inaccessible to most users, for example, by encrypting it or requiring a password. The data isn't deleted, so specific authorized personnel can still recover it later if needed.

Why it matters: Filed before the current era of stringent data privacy regulations and heightened cybersecurity threats. The need for automated, robust data protection in medical devices, especially post-transfer, is now a critical compliance and security requirement, making this concept more relevant.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, data encryption, access control
