The present invention provides systems and methods for supporting encrypted communications with a medical device, such as an implantable device, through a relay device to a remote server, and may employ cloud computing technologies. An implantable medical device is generally constrained to employ a low power transceiver, which supports short distance digital communications. A relay device, such as a smartphone or WiFi access point, acts as a conduit for the communications to the internet or other network, which need not be private or secure. The medical device supports encrypted secure communications, such as a virtual private network technology. The medical device negotiates a secure channel through a smartphone or router, for example, which provides application support for the communication, but may be isolated from the content.

In one example, a method includes transitioning, responsive to determining that a charging coil of wireless charger is in proximity of an implantable medical device (IMD) and by the IMD, from operating in a non-pairing mode into a pairing mode of a far-field wireless communication protocol. In this example, operating in the paring mode comprises: receiving, by the IMD and via a transceiver of the far-field wireless communication protocol, a public encryption key from another device that is different than the wireless charger; and determining, based on the public encryption key of the other device and a public encryption key of the IMD, a link encryption key for future communication between the IMD and the other device. In this example, the method further includes communicating, by the IMD and based on the link encryption key, with the other device via the far-field wireless communication protocol.

A computer system architecture and method for providing compliance with data regulations, by: (a) collecting a data input stream with a data collection terminal; (b) using a compliance device driver resident in the data collection terminal to: (1) select data corresponding to pre-identified data compliance fields, and (2) apply a compliance markup language parser to generate pseudonymized data; and (c) using an automated compliance network appliance and an automated compliance server to: (1) transmit the pseudonymized data into immutable audit ledger, wherein the immutable audit ledger is assembled and verified by blockchain, and (2) transmit the data input stream into a data lake; (d) hosting access portals for accessing data: (1) stored in the data lake, and (2) stored in the immutable audit ledger.

Embodiments presented herein are generally directed to techniques for enabling a user of a mobile electronic device to wirelessly control one or more functions of an implantable medical device system. The techniques presented herein establish a secure (encrypted) communication channel between the implantable medical device system and a central system associated with the manufacturer of the implantable medical device system and use the secure communication channel to authorize a user to wirelessly control one or more functions of the implantable medical device system via the mobile electronic device.

Methods, apparatus, media, and a data model for managing prescription records. A prescription request is received from a prescriber, the prescription request including prescription data describing a prescription and, optionally, a value in cryptographic tokens associated with the prescription data. The request is approved if the prescriber is an authorized prescriber. Prescription data is recorded as a prescription record. A cryptographic hash of at least some of the prescription data and auxiliary information is created as a unique identifier for the prescription and the hash, a prescriber ID, a pharmacy ID and a patient ID are recorded on a blockchain as an issue transaction corresponding to the prescription. An acceptance message is received indicating that a pharmacy is willing to fill the prescription. If the acceptance message is verified, an accept transaction is recorded on a blockchain corresponding to the prescription, the accept transaction including the hash.

The present invention relates to directly and securely transferring encrypted medical data between parties, wherein a sender generates an encrypted access code. The access code is provided to a recipient who can then view the medical data without requiring cloud and virtual private network infrastructures, and which eliminate the need for medical data to be stored on physical media and physically carried to a recipient's location. The invention empowers patients to view, share, and manage their medical data, and facilitates the preservation of the continuum of care.

A system, method, and apparatus for universally accessible personal medical records may provide for encrypted storage of patient-specific data within a personal medical record linked to a personal medical record chain of personal medical records, wherein the personal medical records are stored as a personal medical record chain of connected personal medical records, and wherein the personal medical record chains are stored in immutable form across a plurality of nodes that collectively function as a dispersed, redundant personal medical record chain data storage system. In some embodiments, the present invention may provide that a secure QR code may act as a patient's private key or password, and may be scanned by any medical professional in the world who has access to the present invention. When scanned, the present invention may decrypt the patient-specific data and provide a portion or all of the same to the medical professional. The present invention may record the fact of the medical professional's access to the patient-specific data along with any changes to the patient-specific data within a new personal medical record personal medical record, and may provide that the new personal medical record may chain to the previous personal medical record, and may also provide that multiple such copies and chains of personal medical records are stored across more than one node.

A patient care environment includes a monitoring device and a vital sign device, where the vital sign device communicates patient vital sign data to the monitoring device. A site key, entity keys, and key combining algorithms are used to secure communications in the patient care environment. Neither the site key nor the entity keys are communicated between the monitoring device and the vital sign device. The monitoring device may use the site key and entity keys to decrypt encrypted messages that have been previously stored in the vital sign device and transmitted back to any monitoring device containing the correct set of site and entity keys. The site key and entity key may also be used during the discovery and/or connection operations between the monitoring device and the vital sign device to associate a wirelessly connected vital sign device with a patient record.

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for wireless communication of analyte data. In embodiments, a method of using a diabetes management partner interface to configure an analyte sensor system for wireless communication with a plurality of partner devices is provided. The method includes the analyte sensor system receiving authorization to provide one of the partner devices with access to a set of configuration parameters via the diabetes management partner interface. The set of configuration parameters is stored in a memory of the analyte sensor system. The method also includes, responsive to input received from the one partner device via the diabetes management partner interface, the analyte sensor system setting or causing a modification to the set of configuration parameters, according to a system requirement of the one partner device.
