In a method for initiating a data transfer from an implantable medical device a relay data request is generated at a remote device, the relay data request containing an implant interrogation request representing a request for the implantable medical device to create an interrogation data set. The relay data request is transferred to a patient device, and a communication link between the patient device and the implantable medical device is established to transmit said implant interrogation request to the implantable medical device. An implant interrogation response is transferred from the implantable medical device to the patient device, the implant interrogation response representing a response from the implantable medical device containing said interrogation data set. The implant interrogation response is transferred from the patient device to the remote device.

Method for initiating a data transfer from an implantable medical device

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.
