Transmission of power source usage information over a network

This invention describes a system for tracking how a rechargeable battery in an implanted medical device is used. The device itself, or an external tool, collects data on how often and for how long the battery is recharged. This information is then sent over a network to a remote system, which analyzes it and can send back specific instructions to the patient on how to improve their recharging technique.

Why it matters: Since 2008, wireless communication for small devices has become far more efficient and secure, making continuous remote monitoring of IMD power usage more practical. Advances in cloud computing and data analytics also enable more sophisticated analysis of recharging patterns to provide timely patient instructions.
