Abstract
Architecture and associated methods are provided for power management of ambulatory medical devices. The medical devices is described by a suite of services, each assigned a level of priority (from discretionary to critical), and the power management architecture allows use interchangeable control modules of various levels. A Power Safety Controller supervises the system to ensure appropriate preservation of critical services and provide warnings for low battery level. A Fidelity Controller ensures optimal allocation of power between the different services. A device supervision module estimates device characteristics which can be used by the other levels. The overall architecture ensures a safe and optimal management of services, and allows for a bottom-up deployment of the device.
