The present disclosure provides systems and methods for managing communications in a remote therapy system. A method includes initiating a remote therapy session by establishing communications between a patient device and an implantable medical device implanted in a patient, and establishing communications between the patient device and a clinician device, determining, using the patient device, a distance between the patient and the patient device, comparing, using the patient device, the determined distance to a threshold distance, and managing the communications between the patient device and the implantable medical device based on the comparison.

Systems and methods for managing remote therapy sessions

A system, method and a network architecture for facilitating remote care therapy via secure communication channels between clinicians and patients having one or more IMDs, wherein certain unique information retrieved from an IMD is used in association with an encryption key infrastructure system for establishing trusted relationships between a clinician device, a patient's device and the patient's IMD. A cloud-based remote care session manager is provided for registering and validating the clinician and patent devices based on the IMD data used as trust indicia. In one embodiment, trusted associations between the devices are only established when the devices in close proximity of each other, e.g., in an in-person setting.
