Devices, systems, and techniques for automatic network configuration based on biometric authentication are described herein. In one example, one or more processors may obtain first biometric data derived from one or more sensor signals generated by one or more sensors of a first device coupled to a user. The one or more processors may obtain second biometric data derived from one or more sensor signals generated by one or more sensors of a second device. The one or more processors may compare the first biometric data and the second biometric data, determine that the second device is coupled to the user based on the comparison, and establish a communication link with the second device based on the determination that the second device is coupled to the user.

Automatic network configuration based on biometric authentication

A method for automatically configuring a medical device with user-specific configuration data includes determining, by a first medical device, that the first medical device is being removed from service, wherein the first medical device was previously placed into service to provide therapy to a patient in accordance with user-specific configuration data stored on the first medical device, and wherein the first medical device is to be replaced with a second medical device that is a replacement medical device for the first medical device, and causing, by the first medical device in response to determining that the first medical device is being removed from service, configuration of the second medical device to provide therapy to the patient in accordance with the user-specific configuration data, wherein causing configuration of the second medical device comprises communicating the user-specific configuration data toward the second medical device.

Automatic configuration of user-specific data based on removal from service

A method for automatically configuring a medical device with user-specific configuration data includes obtaining, by a charger device from one or more server computing devices, user-specific configuration data stored on a first medical device that is configured to provide therapy to a patient in accordance with the user-specific configuration data, and causing, by the charger device, configuration of a second medical device based on communicating the user-specific configuration data to the second medical device while the second medical device is being charged by the charger device, wherein the second medical device is a replacement device for the first medical device.

Automatic configuration of user-specific data based on networked charger devices

A method for automatically configuring a medical device with user-specific configuration data includes determining, by a first medical device, that the first medical device is being placed into service to provide medical therapy to a patient, wherein the first medical device is a replacement medical device for a second medical device that was previously placed into service to provide medical therapy to the patient in accordance with user-specific configuration data stored on the second medical device, communicating, by the first medical device, data indicative of the first medical device being placed into service, after communicating the data indicative of the first medical device being placed into service, obtaining, by the first medical device, the user-specific configuration data stored on the second medical device, and configuring, by the first medical device, the first medical device to provide therapy in accordance with the obtained user-specific configuration data.
