Latest Patents

Johnson is credited with 1 patent, titled “Patient-intermediated therapy management.” The invention describes a system in which an implantable medical device with at least one electrode can deliver cardiac pacing according to a patient’s request, subject to allowable therapy settings stored in the device system.

In the described approach, processing circuitry receives a request entered through an application on the patient’s personal device. It identifies the requested therapy parameter value, checks that value against the allowable values stored in memory, and, if the request is permitted, controls the implantable device to provide pacing at that setting for a period of time.

Career Highlights

Johnson’s listed invention reflects work at the intersection of implantable medical devices, cardiac pacing, and patient-facing digital applications. The patent’s approach is designed to let patients request adjustments while keeping therapy changes within predefined allowable values.

Collaborations

The provided information lists Reece W. Holbrook and Patrick D. Wells as Johnson’s coworkers. The patent is associated with Medtronic, Inc., a medical technology company.

Conclusion

Nathan E. Johnson’s patent highlights a patient-intermediated approach to cardiac therapy management, combining personal-device requests with safeguards that govern implantable pacing settings.
