A method for establishes a communication connection between at least one health care professional (HCP) remote device (CP,) and at least one medical device (). The method includes: establishing a first communication connection between the CP with a remote monitoring server (RMS,), establishing a second communication connection between the RMS and a patient remote device (PR,), and establishing a third communication connection between the PR and the medical device. The CP is configured to optimize an internal device process such that the first communication connection can be maintained as continuous communication connection. The PR is configured to optimize an internal device process such that the second and/or third communication connection can be maintained as continuous communication connection. A remote programming session and/or interrogation session of the medical device is initiated if the communication connection between the CP and the medical device is successfully established.

System and method for data interrogation and/or remote programming of a medical device with reduced latency

A system includes at least one medical device (), a remote monitoring server (RMS,) and at least one patient remote device (PR,). The the PR is configured to establish a first bidirectional communication connection () of the PR and the RMS and a second bidirectional communication connection () of the PR and one chosen medical device, wherein the PR is further configured to manage remote processes associated with the chosen medical device comprising remote interrogation of the chosen medical device and remote programming of the chosen medical device using the second bidirectional communication connection as well as data exchange with the RMS concerning interrogation data and/or program data with regard to the chosen medical device using the first bidirectional communication connection.

System and method for data interrogation and/or remote programming of a medical device

A method for managing a wireless communication between an implantable medical device and at least two external devices includes associating the implantable medical device with a first external device so as to enable communication between the first external device and the implantable medical device via a wireless connection, and activating a search mode of the implantable medical device. In the search mode, the implantable medical device wirelessly sends out an advertising message that indicates its availability for association with at least a second external device. A blocking mode of the first external device is activated in response to the activation of the search mode of the implantable medical device. In the blocking mode, the first external device is disconnected from the implantable medical device and does not attempt to connect with the implantable medical device.

Method for managing a wireless communication between an implantable medical device and at least two external devices

A system for spinal cord stimulation, includes a stimulation device having a plurality of electrodes. The stimulation device is configured to deliver spinal cord stimulation via the electrodes according to a set of stimulation parameters. The stimulation device is further configured to store a plurality of different sets of stimulation parameters. The stimulation device is further configured to select one of the stored sets and to deliver spinal cord stimulation according to this selected set, when the stimulation device or a component of the system is located in proximity to an external activator associated with the selected set.
