Abstract
This disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for enhancing memory interrogations of a medical device by an external device. In some examples, the systems and techniques overcome issues of poor link quality, particularly when the memory stores time-sensitive and critical patient information, by reducing an individual packet size to fit an allotted time period for the transmission. Based on satisfaction of at least criterion for the communication channel, the systems and techniques direct the medical device to transmit, from the memory and over the communication channel, a number of packets comprising duplicate copies of the packetized dataset, wherein a number of the duplicate copies is set to be commensurate with a reduction to the individual packet size.
