Abstract
An ambulatory repeater for use in automated patient care and method thereof is presented. At least one sensor is communicatively interfaced to measure and collect patient health information on an ad hoc basis. A cryptographic key is uniquely assigned to an implantable medical device. Authorization to access patient health information stored on the implantable medical device is authenticated using an ambulatory repeater. The ambulatory repeater is interfaced to the at least one sensor and implantable medical device through wireless telemetry and interfaced to an external data processing device through wireless communications. The patient health information is exchanged with the at least one sensor, implantable medical device and external data processing device via the ambulatory repeater.
