A system for treating and/or monitoring a patient includes a patient physiological parameter monitoring patch and a companion device. The patient physiological parameter monitoring patch including an energy harvesting module, an energy storage module, a sensor module and a communication module. The energy harvesting module harvesting energy from one or more ambient sources, the energy being storable in the energy storage module and usable by one or more components of the patient physiological parameter monitoring patch. The sensor module senses one or more physiological parameters of the patient and the communication module can transmit the sensed data. The companion device can receive the sensed physiological parameters and can send the same to a remote device or store the same.

Systems and methods for ambient energy powered physiological parameter monitoring

Disclosed systems and methods include electronic devices attached to a patient or object that transmit data to other devices over a secure communication channel. The devices can track and/or monitor object(s) and/or patient(s) and transmit the tracked and/or monitored data to other electronic devices. Such data can include monitored patient physiological parameter(s) received and/or sensed by the device, for example. A master of the two devices transmits a communication signal to another device that, in response, initiates a secure wireless communication channel, causes one or more modules on the device to be powered, and, when powered, transmits the tracked and/or sensed physiological data over the secure wireless communication channel to the master device. Some example master devices transmit the communication signal with an instruction to the device to activate an onboard power source that later may be disconnected after the tracked and/or physiological data is transmitted.

Systems and methods of secure communication of data from medical devices

Technologies and implementations for a defibrillator electrode having communicative capabilities are generally disclosed.

Electrode assembly having various communicative solutions

A non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement system that includes a blood pressure cuff and a non-invasive blood pressure monitor. The blood pressure cuff including an inner portion that is selectively inflatable and an outer portion that is rigid or semi-rigid. The outer portion reducing external stimuli on the inner portion. The inner portion connected to a sensor coupled to the NIBP monitor, the sensor sensing a pressure of the inner portion. The NIBP monitor receiving the sensor data and processing the sensor data to determine a blood pressure of a patient about which the blood pressure cuff has been placed.

Non-invasive blood pressure measurement

A defibrillation system that includes a first defibrillation device and a second defibrillation device. The first defibrillation device including a therapy module, a communication module, a physiological parameter module and a timing control unit. The second defibrillation device including a therapy module and a communication module. The timing control unit configured to output an instruction to cause the therapy module of the first defibrillator and the therapy module of the second defibrillator to each discharge an energy delivery according to a timing relationship.

System for control of multiple defibrillation therapies

A medical device for caring for a patient includes a patient utility for measuring a patient parameter or administering a therapy to the patient and an alarm system that has a receiver to accept status information about the medical device. A use detector of the alarm system is structured to determine when the medical device is being prepared for use and a status detector of the alarm system is adapted to determine from the status information that the medical device is in a ready state. The alarm system further includes an alarm that is activated when the medical device is both being prepared for use and not in the ready state. This description also includes methods of generating an alarm when the medical device is both being prepared for use and not in the ready state.

Medical device with lack-of-readiness alarm

A defibrillator system optimizes the timing and manner of applying a defibrillator charge to a patient based upon data provided to the defibrillator from a utility module or one or more external devices. A parameter module on the utility module provides the defibrillator with patient parameter information. Devices external to the utility module may provide the utility module with coaching data that the utility module may pass through to the defibrillator as a proxy to the external devices. The utility module may also provide external devices with patient data that the utility module may pass through to the external devices as a proxy to the defibrillator on a scheduled or other basis. The utility module may additionally provide a reserve of power to enable defibrillators to be used where power is unavailable and to enable defibrillators to deliver multiple charges more readily anywhere, anytime.

Utility module interface

A medical device and associated systems with host devices and one or more accessories are disclosed that are capable of authenticating the host device with intelligent one of more of the intelligent accessories. Each of the host device and the one or more accessories can share a secret or other unique code. The authentication occurs without transmission of the secret or unique code between the host device and the one or more accessories.

Medical devices with intelligent accessories

An adaptable healthcare module that is coupleable to one or more defibrillator devices is disclosed. The adaptable health care module includes a healthcare coupling to assist with treatment and/or monitoring of a patient. The healthcare coupling can be active while decoupling the adaptable healthcare module from a first defibrillator device and coupling to a second defibrillator device. The coupling of the adaptable healthcare module includes a mechanical engagement, between the adaptable healthcare module and the defibrillator device, to retain the adaptable healthcare module to the defibrillator device.
