A remote monitoring system for implantable medical devices

Abstract

The invention relates to a remote monitoring system for implanted medical equipment. The remote monitoring system comprises a doctor terminal, a remote monitoring server, an audio and video communication server, a patient client, a patient external controller, and the implanted medical equipment, and further comprises an electrophysiological signal sensor, a signal acquisition controller and a data analysis server which is connected with the remote monitoring server, wherein the electrophysiological signal sensor is connected with the signal acquisition controller, and is respectively connected with the patient client and the remote monitoring server through the signal acquisition controller; the data analysis server is used for carrying out online or offline analysis on the electrophysiological data of a patient acquired by the electrophysiological signal sensor. According to the remote monitoring system provided by the invention, the electrophysiological signals of the patient are acquired by the electrophysiological signal sensor, and the monitoring ways are varied, so that more comprehensive monitoring for the patient can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of implantable medical devices, in particular to a remote monitoring system for implantable medical devices and a working method thereof. Background technique [0002] In implantable medical devices, neurostimulators can effectively control the symptoms of functional neurological diseases and psychiatric diseases through chronic electrical stimulation of target nerves. Neurostimulators approved by the US FDA and their indications include deep brain stimulators for tremors, Parkinson's disease, dystonia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, vagus nerve stimulators for epilepsy, depression, spinal cord stimulators for pain, and sacral nerve stimulators urinary incontinence etc. [0003] During the treatment process of the implanted neurostimulator, the patient needs to go to the hospital for follow-up at regular intervals after the operation. On the one hand, it plays a monitoring function, that is, the doctor uses a progra...
