This disclosure is directed to devices, systems, and techniques for an external device to receive data collected by an IMD implanted in a patient. The IMD may collect physiological data associated with a patient and store the physiological data in memory. The IMD may determine an amount of the physiological data stored in the memory to send to an external device and send, via a wireless connection, the determined amount of the physiological data stored in memory to the external device.

Various examples are provided for non-contact vital sign acquisition. Information can be provided regarding vibrations of a target using a radar signal such as, e.g., non-contact vital sign measurement. Examples include estimation of heart rate, change in heart rate, respiration rate, and/or change in respiration rate, for a human or other animal. Implementations can produce one or both rates of vibration and/or change in one or both rates of vibration for a target other than an animal or human experiencing two vibrations at the same time, such as a motor, a vehicle incorporating a motor, or another physical object. Some implementations can estimate the respiration movement in the radar baseband output signal. The estimated respiration signal can then be subtracted from radar signals in the time domain and, optionally, can be further enhanced using digital signal processing techniques, to produce an estimate of the heartbeat pulses.

Analog front end circuitry is placed in one shell, while the wireless transceiver is placed in the other shell.

The present disclosure relates to a method for transmitting or receiving biometric information between a sensor transmitter and a communication terminal in a continuous blood glucose measurement system and, more specifically, to a method for transmitting or receiving biometric information, wherein: it is not determined at every regular communication period whether biometric information has been successfully transmitted or received between a sensor transmitter and a communication terminal; it is determined whether unreceived biometric information exists only at a unreceived communication period relatively larger than the regular communication period; if unreceived biometric information exists, the unreceived biometric information is received; and it is accordingly possible to reduce computing loads required to determine at every regular communication period whether unreceived biometric information exists, and the waste of energy required to receive unreceived biometric information at every regular communication period.

A method for managing power during communication with an implantable medical device, including establishing a communications link, utilizing a power corresponding to a session start power, to initiate a current session between an implantable medical device (IMD) and external device. A telemetry break condition of the communications link is monitored during the current session. The power utilized by the IMD is adjusted between low and high power levels, during the current session based on the telemetry break condition. The number of sessions is counted, including the current session and one or more prior sessions, in which the IMD utilized the higher power level, and a level for the session start power to be utilized to initiate a next session following the current session is adaptively learned based on the counting of the number of sessions.

Methods, devices, and systems related to determining biometric data using an array of infrared (IR) illuminators are described.
