Abstract
A care provider is able to remotely program a pacemaker, drug pump, neurostimulation device or other an implantable medical device (IMD) by operating a browser application communicating with a server. Following successful authentication to the server, the care provider's browser receives information about one or more operating parameters of the IMD from the server. The care provider provides an instruction from the browser application to the server to modify one or more operating parameters. The server formats a digital program request from the instruction that includes a digital signature or other identification code uniquely identifying the server. The digital program request is then forwarded to the IMD via a remote monitor (IRM) for subsequent verification of the digital identification code and wireless transmission the verified digital program request from the IRM to the IMD.
