Application: Automatic configuration of user-specific data based on networked charger devices (Patent ID: US20240212807A1)
The patent filed by Medtronic Plc describes a method for automatically configuring a first medical device with user-specific configuration data when replacing a second medical device. The method involves determining the replacement, communicating this information, obtaining the configuration data from the second device, and configuring the first device accordingly. The user-specific configuration data may include information related to insulin levels, delivery rates, glucose sensor calibration, and insulin delivery history.
The system described in the patent includes transceivers, memory devices, and processors that perform the operations of determining the replacement, communicating the change, obtaining configuration data, and configuring the first medical device. The method and system allow for seamless transition and customization of medical devices based on user-specific needs and previous device settings. The communication of data between devices or through an intermediate device ensures the accurate transfer of configuration data for optimal functionality of the first medical device.
