Abstract
Systems and methods are provided remotely controlling a medical device. In some embodiments, systems and methods are also provided for remote medical monitoring. This includes, for example, emergency/panic notifications/functions, medical event recording, compliance monitoring, sleep timer and environmental controls, two-way communication, and other functions such as, for example, emergency telephony/communication in various forms. In other embodiments, systems and methods for managing a remote control of a medical device are provided. This includes, for example, two-way communication for assisting in locating the remote, power management including sleep mode and wireless charging, and master remote/key functionality. The remote can be handheld or wearable and may include, for example, audio, visual, haptic, input, communication, and sensor (including biosensor) functionality and outputs. In this manner, the remote control can not only control the medical device, but also provides the user with extended functionality for emergency and non-emergency communication and tasks.
